Let's review how prominent Ohio Big Dogs have maneuvered through gender politics in recent months:
AG Marc Dann told us he's suffered enough -- he had to tell his wife and kids he had an affair with a subordinate. Must be tough, Mr. Top Lawyer!
His ex-communications director Leo Jennings III sent an email to the interim superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation calling him a "coward, an expletive related to the female anatomy and an absolute (expletive) incompetent insubordinate moron," according to The Dispatch. You've clearly communicated what you think about women, Mr. Jennings III!
Of course, the biggest of the AG hound dogs is Tony G, who gifted a woman in his office with a sex toy and then asked to see her use it. I wonder if he ever gave similar instructions to anyone who saw the gun hiding underneath the seat of the state vehicle he was driving drunk. Hostile work environment? Frat party? It's more like a state-sanctioned, gun-toting, pj-wearing polygamist sect ranch on Grey Goose and Hawaiian pizza.*
Then there's ex-state representative Matthew Barrett who accidentally shared some of his porn collection with Norwalk High School students and then blamed his son. Two-dimensional women make poor companions, Mr. B.
The Ohio General Assembly thought it was vital that Ohio women get free ultrasounds of their fetuses before having an abortion (evidently we are too stupid to know what they look like). It is our lawmakers' belief that upon viewing these grainy pictures, we will immediately cease our selfish health care desires and devise a way to care for and support a child for at least 18 years. As always, fathers are not accountable in the process. Meanwhile, the Ohio Prevention First Act -- the only possible way to reduce the number of abortions in the state -- flounders in the GOP-dominated legislature. These same insensitive men treasure their Viagra, but refuse to force insurers to cover the high cost of women's contraceptives. Shamefully, they dismiss any suggestion of reform of maternity/paternity leave laws and have the nerve to call themselves pro-life! Really, Ohio, can't we do something pro-women for once?
There seems to be a mange going around Ohio Big Dogs. (Did I mention vomit-encrusted nostrils?) In honor of Mom, I hope cats like you and me can put a leash on them. Me-ow.
*Positive post note: Thanks, Gov. Ted, for your sincere indignation regarding the AG scandal.
