Naked Pastor: Where are you on this gender pyramid?
Particularly interested in the clinic escort article since I did that myself years ago. It sounds like things haven't changed.
ReplyDeleteI do remember a man who was accompanying a patient being taunted by a protester with "Why are you letting that woman kill your baby? Be dominant, sir! Be a man!" He actually said that. Rather revealing.
Infidel -- I used to volunteer as a clinic escort too, and I found that fundamentalists say the most horrid things. The "be a man" chestnut is a common insult hurled at male partners of patients. It definitely reveals a neanderthal way of seeing sex and gender.
