      There are some weirdos on both sides of the aisle (remember Anthony Weiner?). But GOP def has that reputation.

      Edit: I can see I’m being down voted - I suppose because it is nicer to think the folks we associate with politically wouldn’t mistreat women. But as a woman, I can tell you that political affiliation is not a good enough way to determine whether a man is likely to mistreat you. Al Franken took some unfortunate pictures while a woman slept. David Wu of Oregon resigned after being accused of making unwanted sexual advances toward a fundraiser’s daughter. Eric Massa of New York resigned to avoid an ethics investigation into his admitted groping and tickling of multiple male staffers. Harvey Weinstein was a huge donor to the Democrats. It is safest to say misbehaving men are the reason women choose the bear.

        true, sometimes it’s the last person anyone suspects, and the chances that being isolated somewhere with a random strange dude will end badly is just too high to choose anything but bear. i hate that for women, and speak out against creepy scumbag behavior whenever i can
