I see what you're trying to do there, but no.

Okay.  I don't exactly make it a secret that I think Republicans are, well, for lack of a better word, inhumane.  I'll admit my very strong party bias against them (not that I'm exactly thrilled with the Democratic party--mostly because I just can't get down with capitalism--but, well, that's neither here nor there).  They're perpetrating the war on women.  I can't abide that.

So when I wrote on facebook about Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker repealing the Equal Pay Enforcement Act, and a Republican friend of mine (I know, it sounds like an oxymoron) replied that the point of repealing this act was to prevent "unnecessary judicial costs," I chose to just not respond, because in all other things, I respect this person.  I understand that, as a Republican, you have to make everything about money.  I get it.

But that's not what's going on here.  This is about making sure that women are discriminated against.  Making it more possible, legally.  Don't just take it on my word, let Senator Grothman tell you himself.  He says that money is less important to women.  He also doesn't believe in the gender wage gap.  He also is a poor excuse for a human being.

So to all of those Republicans who are war on women-apologists:  just stop it.  We're not stupid.  We can see for ourselves what's happening here.  Hint:  it's not about money.  It's about misogyny.  And we're not going to take it lying down.
