GOP rep Wayne Schmidt loses his shit over a lawmaker (and woman) saying 'vagina' during an abortion debate, so he decides to treat women like children after that. Also, he doesn't believe in 'no means no'.

Thousands of women protested when Michigan State Rep. Lisa Brown (D-West Bloomfield) was banned from speaking on the House Floor for a day after she used the word "vagina" during a debate over anti-abortion bill.

But her colleague, State Rep. Wayne Schmidt (R-Traverse City), said Republican leadership's decision to silence Brown was no different than putting a child in timeout.

[...]

She had told her colleagues, "I'm flattered you're all so concerned about my vagina, but no means no."

Schmidt said "vagina" wasn't the problem.

"It wasn't about body parts, it wasn't about dissent, it wasn't about anyone's religious beliefs," he said. "It was that last comment that took a step too far-- the 'no means no' comment."


That's right, asshole, this isn't about you trying to hijack women's reproductive rights, by pandering to the archaic idea of female hysteria - this was about her going to far by saying 'no means no'.

You sick deceitful sexist oppressive fucking mouth-breather. Huffington
