Concerned Women: Ladies can’t be aggressive while wearing pink!

This is pretty sweet. Concerned Women for America lashes out at Code Pink for not being demure and ladylike enough. How dare they wear pink, the color of quiet femininity, while aggressively demanding an end to the war?!

[Crouse] said Code Pink members “talk out of both sides of their mouths.”
“They emphasize their femininity but advocate policies that are very aggressive and more often associated with men,” she said.

Does CWA really think pro-peace positions have been historically associated with masculinity? Did I miss the part of the recent Republican debates when all the manly-man candidates were clamoring to assert their commitment to peace? I mean, sure, I’d love to see conservatives (and everyone, really) saying the peace is a strong and masculine goal to work towards. Don’t see that happening any time soon, though.

They cloak it all in a soft pink covering, when underneath they are hard as nails,” [Crouse] said. “They advocate for the most radical of leftist positions,” such as impeachment of the president.

Sounds like an awesome compliment.
