Limbaugh: Female Senators Complaining of Sexism Are “Just Like The African-American Community ... They Still Think It's The 1800s. Or 1960.”

Limbaugh: “They Are Stuck Back In The Historical Period Where They Think Life Was Toughest For Them”

RUSH LIMBAUGH: But get this headline, from thehill.com: “Frustrated female senators say Clinton is victim of sexism. Women serving in the Senate say that Hillary Clinton is being subjected to an unfair sexist double standard on the campaign trail.” Senator Barbara Mikulski, the dean of the Senate women, said she's often judged by a double standard. "'Many of we women feel that there's a double standard. What's being said about Hillary is what women have heard for centuries. You're too loud, you're too aggressive, you're too pushy. Why do you want the vote?'" Nobody's saying that anymore. Men have been tamed into being practically docile these -- nobody says that. These people are living in a time warp. They're living in an era -- these people can't, in Hillary's case, she can't get out of the '90s. These feminist senators, female senators, can't get past the '60s and '70s, which is the birth of the modern era of feminism. And it's just like the African-American community, the civil rights coalitions. They still think it's the 1800s. Or 1960. It is amazing -- these people on the left, they keep talking about building bridges to the future and so forth, and they are stuck back in the historical period where they think life was toughest for them. And then they talk and complain and whine and moan as though no progress has been made. So Barbara Mikulski, with a complaint the feminists were whining about back in the '60s and '70s. Double standard, equal pay. Non-issues anymore, except in Hillary's office where women don't make as much as men. What's being said about Hillary is what women have heard -- who's saying she's too loud or too aggressive? She's barking like a dog, Mikulski! What do you mean too loud? People are saying she needs to cry more like she did in New Hampshire. People say she needs to start making sense, but nobody's saying she's being too loud, too aggressive, too pushy. That's old stuff. But here they are, stuck in it.
