Arizona Mothers Storm Kyl's Senate Office, Denounce GOP as Sexist

PHOENIX -- Dozens of local mothers descended on the office of Republican Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona Wednesday to denounce what they say are sexist attitudes held by Kyl and the Republican Party in general. The demonstration was organized by Phoenix area mothers in response to Kyl's recent quip during a Senate committee meeting that he doesn't "need maternity care."

The protest was organized by local mothers, but a few fathers and children also attended. They carried signs saying, "Maternity Care Is Not a Joke" and "Women Are Your Constituents Too."

The protest comes at the same time Democrats across the country are denouncing Republican leaders for holding what they see as outdated views of women.

Chris Christie, Republican gubernatorial candidate from New Jersey, has come under fire for a remark he made that critics say equates preschool to babysitting.

3. It's a double standard

If women get a few months off for maternity leave, men should get the day off after sex.
