I think the primary differences between the parties (I am a registered independent and loathe political parties):

1. The left gets a pass on mistreatment of women. Just a matter of more tolerance for it as they are supposedly more into women’s issues (another debatable point).

2. The right is no different from the left- men are men and many are pigs. They are simply held more accountable.

People (ie, men) are people. Always have been and always will be. And “mistreatment” of women isn’t going away so long as people are involved. As it states in the Old Testament, “There is noting new under the sun.”
