"Mansplaining" Idiot

“You know, there are those of us in this society who have told women that there’s a war on them because that cute little baby inside of them, they may want to get rid of it and there are people that are keeping you from doing that,” Carson continued. “And women say, ‘No, no, they’re not doing that to me! No!’ And they get all riled up.”

He added there was obviously not a “war on women” because men give up their seats to pregnant women.

“There is no war on them, the war is on their babies,” Carson insisted. “Babies that cannot defend themselves. Over the past few decades, we have destroyed 55 million of them. And we have the nerve to call other societies of the past heathen.”

“What we need to do is re-educate the women to understand that they are the defenders of these babies.”

1. 55 million?

That's somewhere in the ballpark of how many Americans will die if the teabaggers get their way and collapse the economy. Of course, they've already been born, so they don't really count.

6. There's the word "mansplaining" again...

We'll fight sexism with sexism, I suppose. I really wish DU was an egalitarian zone, but it just isn't. Every day I log on here and see how horrible I apparently am.

9. "Mansplaining" = The idea that women need a man to 'splain the concepts that are too 'tough for

their pretty little heads.'

10. Idiot, it is no more "sexist" the term patronising

Essentially you recognise yourself in the term and feel insulted.

Well hard luck.
