More female bashing. Limbaugh continues to hate on women

he's the most horrid type of patriarcharcal abuser, and dehumanizer.

http://tracking.si.com/2012/03/01/rush-limbaugh-on-danica-patricks-opinion-what-do-you-expect-from-a-woman-driver/

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh condemned NASCAR driver Danica Patrick during his show Monday, asking, “What do you expect from a woman driver,” according to New York Daily News.

“She said, ‘I leave it up to the government to make good decisions for America.’ Limbaugh said in response to Patrick openly supporting the Obama’s administration’s contraception rule requiring faith-based institutions to provide free birth control to their employees, “What do you expect from a woman driver? I don’t know why everybody was so shocked.”

A day before Limbaugh’s slur, Fox San Diego sports anchor Ross Shimabuku was suspended for saying a vulgar slur about Patrick during a live broadcast.

Patrick has not yet responded on Limbaugh’s comment.

I am pretty sure Danica doesn't care what his opinion is.

I sure as hell don't care what he thinks either.

The decision the government reached in this particular instance is that individuals are in the best position to make their own health care decisions, and left it up to the individual to decide whether she needs to get a prescription for birth control.

Rush Limbaugh is apparently opposed to people making their own health care decisions. I'm not sure who he thinks should make those decisions, but he is adamantly against people making their own health care decisions. Perhaps he thinks there should be an unelected and unaccountable health care czar who will decide for everyone how best to take care of themselves.

How about it, lurking Freeperati? Do you adopt your prophet's position as your own?
