Fox News Commentator Calls Wendy Davis (TX State Sen - D) An ‘Abortion Barbie’
This is hardly the first time that Erickson has incited controversy over a sexist statement. When he was a contributor for CNN last year, he said he liked the idea of excluding women from the Masters golf tournament because “I don't want to be hanging out at some women's event!” He also referred to the 2012 Democratic National Convention's line-up of female speakers as “the Vagina Monologues” — prompting over 100,000 people to sign a petition calling on CNN to fire him. Nevertheless, Erickson went on to work for Fox, where he landed in the headlines again after saying that women should stick to raising children.
And more recently, Erickson has had plenty to say about Texas’ abortion battle. While Davis was engaged in her filibuster and her supporters tweeted under the “stand with Wendy” hashtag, Erickson started a “sit down, Wendy” hashtag in response. And after the legislature successfully passed the anti-abortion proposal — which threatens to close 90 percent of the abortion clinics in the state — he tweeted out a site selling coat hangers, telling liberals they should “bookmark” it.

BUT--- there's no war on women, 'kay? It's a completely and absolutely equitable culture that allows men to mock their decision to deny women health-care. I even read on DU that Men's Groups are simply looking out for you women folk.
