Vox asks why some people hate women.

My guess: most female rape fantasies are not the same as male rape fantasies. Their fantasies are not about rape per se, but are more about a very dominant man having a very strong passion overcoming his self-control. Read: Atwood’s Rape Fantasies. Although, there are probably a few outliers who have real rape fantasies.

Guess homosexuals just like being controlled by the government.

The fact that people might enter politics because they have convictions and wish to do good for their country and people is something that completely eludes this liberal (and most of her commenters). To the liberal, power, status, and free shit are everything.
