A call for fair Coulter-bashing

Liberals hate Ann Coulter. Coulter is nuts, to be sure, but I give her some credit for having a sense of humor, which most right-wing talking heads do not seem to have. Coulter is over the top, she knows it, and it's part of her routine. It has made her rich and famous. Her ideas are revolting, but at least she is entertaining.

What is not entertaining is the way liberals attack her. Calling her "Ann the Man" because she has a noticeable Adam's apple, or displaying pictures of her with male parts is not only not funny, it is cruel, and it is also disgustingly sexist. When we don't think a woman looks "feminine" enough, we call her a man, thus attacking her sexuality. An when some liberal men don't like the way a woman behaves, they tend to call her ugly, thus equating--yet again--a woman's worth with the way she looks.

What we do to men is just as bad. Perceived as "weak"? You're "like a girl." "Don't be a little girl," fathers tell their sons when they cry over an emotional or physical wound. This is, of course, just another way of insulting women. God forbid that anyone should wind up a girl.

There is plenty to criticize about Ann Coulter without attacking her sexuality, because those kinds of attacks are what liberals are supposed to be fighting against.
