Carly Fiorina tailgate interrupted by Planned Parenthood supporters
The Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina met with protests as she attended a University of Iowa football game tailgate rally on Saturday.
Those who chanted and held up placards were supporters of Planned Parenthood, the organization at the center of a controversy over videos, which purport to show offering fetal body parts for sale.
“I-O-W-A, women’s rights are here to stay!” shouted one woman – who was dressed as a packet of birth control pills – outside Kinnick Stadium. “Women are watching and we vote!”

Here’s what bugs me about that video. Sure, in those 10 hours she was harassed, and the creepy dudes walking next to her were totally inappropriate. But here’s the big question: In those 10 hours, how many times wasn’t she harassed?
The thing with videos like this is that they form broad generalizations without the other side of the story being told. What if this video only represents 10% of those 10 hours, and the other 90% is of people saying absolutely nothing? Wouldn’t that be worth recognizing? Wouldn’t it be worth pointing out that more people said nothing than harassed her? I’m not condoning harassment or trying to diminish it. But this video is going around and around and people are seeing it as some across-the-board “all men are like this” and “this happens to all women all the time” example, which is totally not true.
You could take the video of her never being harassed in the same 10 hours, title it “Gentlemen of New York City” and use it to say that a woman can walk down the street and all men will never be rude to her.

- 10 hours is 600 minutes.
That video is 2 minutes.

I am surprised how many people get so emotional or angry with the idea of Feminism and what it stands for.
I thought those of us in the western world were beyond the need to control or have power over a woman. I guess this is the thread that highlights our links to ISIS and such where they believe women should not have the same equal rights and such as us men.
Like Oey said "What are you scared of?" I just don't understand why people would be against helping others as if women are some for of THEM to our US.
- Also don't mean to suggest all men in the east think like ISIS etc. Sorry, more that its more common than the west, well...supposed to be.sem
- well, supposed to be more common there but starting to think not as much as I'd like.sem
- By like I mean I would like to think we're a little more educated than countries with such limited access to educational materials.sem
- What on earth are you talking about? Who here has said they don't want absolute equality?set
- Very very strange view point.set
