Annual awards for the undeserving Equal Rites revived

Don King, Jeffrey Nichols, David Doucette, Phil Gramm, Newt Gingrich, Henry Aldridge, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Robert Cahill and Trent Lott are named in satirical prizes such as The Battle of the Sexes Blue Ribbon and The Domestic Backlash Award. The piece mocks gender bias in politics, media, and society with biting, provocative humor.
