Obamacare Characterized By Blatant Sexism Against Men... http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/331870/obama -and-women-s-lobby-christina-hoff-sommers#
Excerpted from : "Obama and the Women’s Lobby"
By Christina Hoff Sommers
"The Affordable Care Act mentions “breast” 44 times, “prostate” not once. It also establishes an elaborate and expensive network of special programs to promote women’s health. Programs for men are nowhere to be found. What explains the imbalance?
When President Obama took office, he promised to insulate his administration from organized lobbyists. Yet, from day one, he granted the women’s lobby unprecedented influence. The results should trouble fair-minded feminists.
...the 2010 Affordable Care Act created an Office of Women’s Health, a National Women’s Health Information Center, a Coordinating Committee on Women’s Health, and more — right down to the mandate that universities pay for students’ birth-control pills.
The average lifespan of American men is five years shorter than women’s, and men contract the big diseases several years earlier. According to the American Cancer Society, men’s lifetime risk of developing cancer is approximately 1 in 2; for women, it is 1 in 3. But the Act is informed by the spirit of NOW and other women’s organizations such as the American Association of University Women. It would never occur to these groups that the health and longevity of men are matters of interest to women. To them, relations between the sexes are a zero-sum game — and their role is to fight for women and against men."
Conceptualclarity : Sommers will have to search long and hard to find these "fair-minded feminists" to which she refers. The fact that there is no feminist dismay being expressed over the sexism in Obamacare further demonstrates that feminists and fair-minded people are pretty much mutually exclusive categories.
Obama doesn't care about men and he doesn't deserve any of their votes on November 6.
