‘Raising Hope’s’ Martha Plimpton: ‘No disguising’ Republican misogyny after election
Actress and activist Martha Plimpton says that “binders full of women” voted in the 2012 election because there was “no disguising” the misogyny in the Republican Party after conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh called a Georgetown University student a “slut” for supporting birth control. “It was a very clear referendum…
Don’t let them win
There's been an interesting surge lately in protests against online misogyny, kicked off by the rather strange case of douchebags dogpiling of Alyssa Rosenberg for having the nerve to be an even-tempered pop culture blogger for Think Progress.

McCain’s blunt demonstration of base misogyny

RH Reality Check has compiled information about why the anti-choicers perpetuating the “infanticide” slur are wrong, usually deliberately so. I’ll be honest—after the debate, I was worried that it was closer to a draw than it…
