Originally posted at NewsReal … The patriarchy is afoot! How else to explain the feminist Left’s conspicuously absent outrage after a male union member assaulted FreedomWorks staffer Tabitha Hale in Washington, D.C. this week? As steadfast defenders of women, surely feminists spoke out about this act of aggression against a 5′ 1″ woman and her
