House Republican To Hold The Most Sexist Women's Summit In History

From the article:

Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) is holding a women’s summit that will feature topics like gardening and weight loss in what even for Republicans might be the most sexist event a member of the GOP has held in the modern era...…

Apparently, Rep. Gus Bilirakis didn’t have room on the agenda for such topics as Barefoot, Pregnant, and Loving It, and A Woman’s Place is in the Home.

Where progressives read A Handmaid's Tale and saw dystopia, the GOP saw a utopia.

from the weight loss lecture. He must weigh over 300 lbs, very unhealthy and a poor role model.

I'm alternating between and

BTW: I'm surprised they offer a topic like financial planning for women. Maybe they are looking ahead to when their wives leave them? Part of the seminar should be dedicated to "getting the most from your divorce settlement".

I wouldn't be surprised if they had a seminar on How to Please Your Man, with Wives & Lovers playing in the background:

Hey! Little girl
Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore

For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you

Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again

For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here

Hey! Little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city and
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love


Possibly one of the most sexist songs ever, along with the stalking song.

The republican family-values role model, Dirty Donny* makes it plain what their 'values' are really all about.
