Apparently Girl Scouts also:

• have a “close strategic affiliation with Planned Parenthood.”
• “promote homosexual lifestyles.”
• allow “boys who decide to claim a “transgender” or cross-dressing life-style…to become a member of a Girl Scout troop, performing crafts with the girls and participate in overnight and camping activities – just like any real girl.”
• “are feminists, lesbians, or Communists.”

I am so proud to be a lifelong Girl Scout!

Oh, for chrissake, washingtonpoststyle!

1) A spray tan is a fashion choice, not a feature of one’s body that one cannot help.

2) Yes, on a day like today posting about his spray tan would be completely useless. Sexist? Eh, not so much I think. But unthinking and stupid? Certainly.

3) It’s not hard to understand that sexism, like any other type of systematic oppression, relies upon a power structure that makes it impossible to swap men for women in this way.

4) You didn’t post a picture of John Boehner, which is the entire fucking point.

5) John Boehner chooses the spray tan; Barbara Mikulski is a 74 year old woman with 74 year old skin. Those two examples are not analogous.

6) And finally, apologizing for offending someone is not the same as apologizing for being offensive. If you can’t cough up the latter, don’t bother with the former. It’s transparent, puerile, and unprofessional in the extreme.

For the record, I responded to them with this:
