Men of all cultures are perfectly capable of wanting more than one woman without needing to rely on Muslims for inspiration. Although it's true that there are certain countries where men can legally marry more than one woman, Hugh Hefner is not commiting to or marrying those women, so the comparison really is inapt. What's worse about the comment is that it attacks an out-group and seeks to rally opposition to Hefner by likening him to a group that is currently getting a lot of heat. That's beneath Steinem.

Now, I hope no one notices that I accused Kos of "jihading" against Hillary Clinton. I think I was on firmer ground when I called DK a "fiery furnace of Hillary haters". That metaphor alludes to Christian bible stories, but only in a positive way, making Kos's enemies the good Christians, which makes Kos like the people who wanted Chadrack and Neichrack to disavow their God.

Anybody who grew up in a Black church will know exactly what I'm talking about.

Hillary's not my good, but ending the 43-term exclusively white male monopoly of the Presidency is pretty much a religious principle for me. It's a principle that I won't disavow even if the "progressives" throw me into a fiery furnace.
