Two Cheers for Double Standards - NYTimes.com (Rush Limbaugh and the use of the word "slut" by conservatives vs. liberals)

This article is worth reading. Comments: - Limbaugh represents old-school paleochauvinism and his pals Palin etc. represent old school traditionalism of the rah-rah america kind that sends men off to die in wars and puts shitty anti-male judges in power. - Bill Maher is no feminist. They dislike him for being non-PC and having private habits like partying up at the playboy mansion. I believe I've heard him criticize feminists for being extremists. I think he may be a liberal of the type with criticism of Obama about war.
- The article explicitly lays out a double standard of the kind embraced by feminists who deny men's rights issues, while pretending to represent equality. It's good when they admit there's a double standard instead of hiding it.

One isn't trying to turn back the clock on women's reproductive rights. Bill Maher can be a bit of an aashole, but one of a more innocuous disposition compared to the oozing pus-filled rancid prolapsed asshole that is Rush Limbaugh.

Not MR issue.

That women can get angry at men who sleep around (womanizer?) but men can't get verbally angry towards women who sleep around (slut) is an MR issue. The fact that a few men get away with it while others don't, ehhhh.
