South Carolina Republican: Women are 'a lesser cut of meat'

South Carolina Republican: Women are 'a lesser cut of meat': "For Katrina Shealy, being South Carolina's only female state senator means facing some unique challenges. The main one seems to be fellow state senator Tom Corbin.
That’s when Corbin – no stranger to making bizarre statements –  is said to have begun needling his lone female colleague regarding her gender.
“I see it only took me two years to get you wearing shoes,” Corbin told [State Sen. Katrina Shealy], who was elected in 2012 as a petition candidate.

This was apparently an oblique barefoot and pregnant reference, and a staffer notes that "he makes comments like that all the time."
At one point in the conversation – which quickly escalated into a confrontation – Shealy is said to have angrily asked Corbin where he “got off” attacking women. [...]
“Well, you know God created man first,” Corbin said, reportedly smirking at Shealy.  “Then he took the rib out of man to make woman.  And you know, a rib is a lesser cut of meat.”

I suspect our South Carolina-based commenters will be able to offer up a laundry list of Tom Corbin's past insanities, because this fellow apparently hasn't been right in the head for a very long time. Imagine being State Senator Katrina Shealy and having to deal with this clown every day on the job. Whatever she's being paid, it's not enough."
