    In fairness, I asked for a single example and he provided.

    sorry, I meant the Bush tax cuts for the rich

    Bush set the debt on a 1 trillion a year gain and it has not stopped even to this day... what did he change

    one thing was his tax cuts for the rich, about 250 billion a year, the other was his wars

    Yeah, in the real world, men have to worry about not being able to control themselves or the minute chances of false allegations, and women have to worry about being raped and assaulted and harassed and discriminated against.

    The real world sucks for men, don't it?

    Tax RATE cuts which produce soaring tax REVENUES learn the difference.

    Absolutely false he and the Republicans had it heading back to surplus with a paltry $161B deficit in their last budget before the Democrats took back the Congress and budget control. The rich paid HUGELY MORE in tax revenue after the tax rate cuts they didn't pay $250B less. Bush's 15% capital gains rate took in DOUBLE the tax revenue than Clinton's 29% rate. Pelosi and Reid took it to $1,400B and kept it over $1,000B for the next four.

    Well, that may be your reality of not being able to control yourself (assuming you are male), but it is not my reality....and I guess it is not the reality of most men. I have no issue with being able to control myself. I also do not worry about false claims as I would try to not to put myself in a situation where a false claim is indefensible.

    p.s. I just asked my wife and daughter how much they worry about being rape. My wife looked at me as if saying "what the heck are you talking about". My daughter said "about as much as you worry about being mugged....which is likely not at all".

    So it seems that your post may be nothing more than hyperbole. Maybe there are some women that constantly worry about being raped, assaulted, harassed, or discriminated against, but I would guess that most women are not consumed by the thought.
