1/ Republicans have had a problem with women for a long time. (A thread)
2/ In 1974, When most states required men to cosign for a wife or daughters credit card or any other contract,  Republicans voted against the Equal Credit Act.
3/ In 1978, when it was perfectly legal for employers to fire women who became pregnant (and was the norm rather than the exception) Republicans voted against the Pregnancy Act that made the practice illegal.
4/ In 1980, when men routinely groped and sexually harassed women in the workplace with impunity (watch old Cagney and Lacey reruns) Republicans voted against a bill that wouldve allowed women to report sexual harassment in the workplace.
5/ In 1994, as news about domestic violence became an issue and right wing radio hosts were arguing men should have the right to rape their wives, Republicans  voted against the Violence Against Women Act.
6/ In 2012, as the knowledge that men are paid more than women became widespread in America, Republicans voted as a block against the Equal Pay For Equal Work For Women Act.
7/ In 2012 when the violence Against Women Act was brought up for reauthorization, Republicans again voted against it.
8/ Today Republicans across the country are fighting to prevent women from having access to abortion care, and are proposing legislation in state after state to ban birth control and roll back any of the previously mentioned laws.
9/ Women: Republicans just arent that into you.
