So, in the last few days I've agreed with - no, not just agreed with, but cheered on:

Piers Morgan

Rand Paul

Ted Cruz

That crazy congresswoman from Georgia whose throat I wanted to shove a mask down last month.

It's like I'm in the Matrix except the Blue Pill is Rainbow Colored...

And Rod Liddle. And Brendan O Neill. You somehow get the feeling these guys are not concerned overly about women's rights.

I don't know the ones you mentioned, but I think that some conservative men do feel protective about women. They have daughters, mothers, sisters, wives they love and don't want to come to harm.

I see it all the time on US Twitter: while liberal douchbags like Chris Cuomo think that 12-year-old girls need to get over the presence of intact males in their locker rooms, a lot of conservatives will tweet that they will physically defend their girls if need be.

Not to excuse conservatives males/conservatism of having a lot of women-hating policies, just to say that some are genuinely concerned for women's safety, privacy and dignity.
