Christina Bohannan lost by 800 votes last time. 800. Meanwhile her dad’s own insurance company canceled him the moment he got sick, and Washington shrugged. This time we close that gap, we flip IA-01, and we do it for every family insurance companies threw away. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Both use sexuality to enact men’s domination over women. That one sect forces sex and the other prohibits it is largely a matter of taste.
You mean he *merely* made women’s employment contingent upon their tolerance of his sexual overtures and imposition of gendered indignity? Remembering that this used to be the kind of thing women could complain and even sue over suddenly sounds like an unheard of luxury. …
