In the South, we like men

Via MsMusings, a fantastic quote from a Republican delegate from Florida:

Salon asked Gilley if she connected this desire to the supposition that women also liked to mate with strong men. "Absolutely," she said. "A woman’s Wimp-Meter goes off just as strong as a woman’s Strong-Man Meter." So John Kerry sets off a Wimp-Meter? "For me personally, yeah," said Gilley. "But then you have to think about where I’m from. In the South, we like men. So I’m being sexist."

Good to know that the word "sexist" denotes something positive now--it means, "liking men". Men apparently don't feel liked enough unless they are kow-towed to in every way.

But I do feel for this woman. Her Wimp-Meter is broken.

Or maybe it's not. Maybe it was cowardly for Kerry to try to avoid having his service called into question when he ran for President in 30+ years by actually going to war and getting injured three times. If he were a real man, he would have joined the National Guard to stay out of Vietnam, and said damn the consequences.
