    NOW considers animals to be women?

    Any animal that has more than two teets is likely to be a pig or a cow or something like that, and that's the allusion that Alan Simpson was making. If anything was derogatory, it would be toward the people sucking off those teets.

    Actually, a lot of women's groups and feminist blogs (I'm not sure about NOW but of course the poster can verify) slammed Reid for his sexist comment on Gillebrand. See Feministng for example.

    As for whether or not the protest did good, time will tell.

    I read the link and didn't laugh. Where's the sense of humor?

    Simpson, a total ass for sure, called ALL Americans of both sexes (and those who have transformed themselves through surgery) cows. He didn't single out women in any way shape or form. There are not 310 million women on SS, there are 310 citizens of both sexes on SS. Men have tits, they're just (usually) not as prominent or impressive as women's in a visual appreciation sense (apologies to ABM).

    Aside from being blatantly sexist and self-absorbed as usual, NOW made an ass out of themselves in a big way by this childish display and blew a chance to have serious input in the debate. Unlike Billie Jean King, they just got handed THEIR ass by a pompous old fart.
