Tweeter would put women's rights back decades

Buckle up and get ready for the tsunami of mail coming your way from women who take umbrage to the Dathan Paterno tweets. I don't need to ask "What was he thinking?" I believe he made things perfectly clear. Out of the hundreds of thousands of women who chose to bring focus to the causes that are important to most women, Mr. Paterno was able to discern and criticize "some" of the especially very angry, hostile, vulgar and violent ones. Wow! One can only think that he was relying on his extensive background as a psychologist in making that television diagnosis.

How in the world would Mr. Paterno know or have any basis in fact to claim that most of the women he called "vagina screechers" didn't vote? Is he a psychic as well?

I'm a bit surprised that an educated, enlightened man of the 21st Century would long for the days when women were acknowledged as second-class citizens whose job it was to work in the home from dawn to dusk, provide a child every year, child care and complete all of the necessary tasks to keep their lord and master happy with no voice of her own and no vote.

Perhaps Mr. Paterno will want to incorporate this thinking on his website as part of his mission statement.
