As Twitchy reported yesterday, Dan Riehl responded to vile comments made by Joan Walsh with a fit of misogyny. This is unacceptable and cannot be condoned, no matter how indefensible the target may seem. There is never a valid excuse for such misogyny. He is now doubling down by sexually degrading a conservative woman who called him out on his sexist behavior.

@DanRiehl Let me guess, you're single? Pig.

He not only doubled down on the sexualization of women, but he also doubled down on another usually Leftist tactic: taking away a woman’s gender altogether.

@danriehl In calling Joan Walsh "not a woman" for expressing her views, you prove beyond any doubt that you are NO real man. Pathetic.

The Left often tries to shame, demean and dehumanize conservative women to the point where even their very gender is taken away from them.

“Mama Grizzlies” were said to be “dressed up in a skirt and lipstick, as if to legitimize them.” Patricia Ireland of NOW told women to “vote for only authentic female candidates.” Wendy Doniger of The Washington Post said that Palin’s “greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she’s a woman.”

The ever bitter Eleanor Clift called Sarah Palin “Pat Buchanan in drag.” Salon said Sarah Palin “may be a lady, but she ain’t no woman.” And Naomi Wolf once said that Jeane Kilpatrick was “uninflected by the experiences of the female body.” Tennessee State Representative Janis Sontany, a Democrat, said this about female Republican state lawmakers: “You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote!“

And Joan Walsh’s own Salon said “She may be a lady, but she ain’t no woman” in reference to Sarah Palin.

There is no place for such dehumanization and gender-stealing by self-professed arbiters of who is a real woman or not on the Right.

Some are upset that while Dan is being denounced, Joan Walsh is supposedly not being held to the fire for her own repugnant remarks.

@marychastain I dont care if they denounce it, or denounce me. But I didnt sign on to the movement to be preached to by anyone

False. No one is letting Joan Walsh off scot-free. But nor should anyone let misogynist behavior like this go, just because one is “on our side.” Breitbart.com editors realize that and have rightly denounced Riehl’s contemptible comments.

The disgusting behavior of @DanRiehl has now overshadowed the disgusting behavior of @JoanWalsh and that sucks. Both should apologize.
