Sisters! Remember Then and Do Not Forget Now. Or Pay The Price.

By Uppity Woman on October 24, 2008 at 12:10 PM in Barack Obama, Media, Media Bias, Media Handling of Story, Misogyny, Obama's Thugs, Obamedia, Sexism

I am serious as a heart attack here and simply have to get this off my chest.

Do you all remember?

Do you not see something strangely familiar going on right now?

Women of the USA, two significant women have been skewered by Barack Obama, his misogynist sycophants, and the Main Stream Media. Unless you are the type who needs a telephone pole on your head, surely you Get It. If you do not Get It now, you will most surely Get It later. Because you have less power than these two women and you will reap the residual treatment that has gone on unchecked. In this case, hindsight won’t help you one bit.

I have been around long enough to see much and I cannot stress the impact of a President’s attitude in the workplace and in the home.

Beware when they cajole you into joining in on the destruction of another member of your gender. It is an old tool out of the sexism tool box. A very old tool. When it is your turn in your world, you will remember this. Unfortunately, it won’t matter any longer and it won’t be very funny then either.

Women, push back or pay your own price. Because I can assure you that, if this sexist man becomes President with the complicity of his followers and the Main Stream Media who hates your gender, you will Pay the Price that will make unnecessary concerns about Roe v Wade seem trivial by comparison. Because Roe v Wade is going nowhere. At worst, it would become a states’ issue and even that is hard to believe. In any event, Roe v Wade will be useless considering the rest of what will be done to your rights bit by bit, inch by inch. Remember some of the things you heard and read that came from Obama’s young male followers. They are Enabled now. They will believe that this kind of behavior is acceptable. In other words, don’t expect them to stop.

Sisters, you have been duped by the Democratic party. They do not respect you. They have used the same issues to hold you hostage for decades–while never actually ensuring they would no longer be issues. Abortion. Equal Pay. Equal ANYTHING. There is no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. The only thing that separates them is which party the woman is in when they bash her. And please remember: Barack Obama was the Enabler of both of these travesties and assaults upon women.

They have seamlessly moved from the destruction of one woman in one party to the destruction of another woman in the other party, and have you not even noticed?

Do not accuse me of being a Republican. Accuse me of being a disgusted Democrat, because that is what I am. I recognize what’s really going on here.

Look around you. The party that claimed to represent you has abandoned you. Fight back or Pay. If you think your rights as a human being will always be there, you are wrong and you haven’t lived very long. Your rights are tenuous at best. Do not be complacent simply because you didn’t fight for the rights you enjoy today. And please remember that women acquired the right to vote by ONE Congressional vote. That’s right. ONE vote got you the right to vote. There was no overwhelming support from our Party on that day.

You’ve been warned. Many times by many wise women who have Seen. Please do not be duped by the Shell Game.

Watch. Learn. Watching and learning are the paths to wisdom. What you are seeing done to Sarah Palin today, regardless of her political views, is identical to what was done to Hillary Clinton.

In your own way, in your own world: You Are Next. Because once society gets away with this kind of thing, what makes you think that you are immune? I assure you that you are not.

The face has changed, but the goal is the same. To suppress. To subjugate. This goes way beyong Roe v Wade. Don’t be fooled, I implore you.

If this kind of treatement has been ok with you, then I guarantee that not long from now you will be saying to yourself, “What the hell was I thinking?”. Because this kind of behavior is erosive and it doesn’t get turned off like a spigot. Of this you can be sure.

It’s up to you. I have nothing to gain or lose. I’m all set. I have provided experience and food for thought. Use it as you will. Ignore it and Remember.

In the meantime, this is what they think of you. Both Parties. They just haven’t gotten around to you…..yet. This is not about Republicans or Democrats Sisters! This is about YOU. Because whatever they did to Hillary and whatever they are doing to Sarah, they are doing to YOU!

Ani

And please remember that women acquired the right to vote by ONE Congressional vote. That’s right. ONE vote got you the right to vote. There was no overwhelming support from our Party on that day.

Wow. Something I did not know.

Uppity, this post is amazing. Thank you so much for your impassioned plea. I sincerely hope if there are any women on the fence about this election, they will come to their senses and vote for someone who actually shows great respect to women by putting one on his ticket (one whom he obviously holds in high regard), as opposed to a blatant sexist who, by his silence and indifference, has rewarded misogyny by his followers.

FEMINISTS WERE BETRAYED…We should have had the vote With Emancipation…Aaaand Douglas said NO!…He said NO to the women that were largely responsible for the abolitionist movement…We had to wait over 50 years…
Feminists have always stood in the forefront of ROGHTS FOR ALL PEOPLE…AND NOW THE PHONY FEMINISTS ATTACK 2 OF OUR BEST EXAMPLES OF FEMINIST SUCCESS…sheeesh!

It is an extabished fact that socialists and fascists are not Pro Female…

Great Historical Reminder, Uppity! Thanks!

Obama’s thuggish Chicago-style politicking has thrown his political sewer rats onto the female gender. And there will be hell on earth for those women who vote for the Osama-Binladen (sorry, Obama-Biden) ticket!

Both Hillary and Sarah have been diminished by the misogynist media fratboys and by the Obama-Axelrod Sexist and Ageist Campaign. Obama’s basketballin’ Himself to the White House will be a step backward for Women everywhere. Don’t forget there are 200,000 homeless women in Kenya where he campaigned actively and donated $hundreds of thousands of dollars for the campaign of his Sharia Law-advocate cousin Odinga!

Periodically, Barack will feel down and start launching attacks against women to boost his appeal…He’s likeable enough now, for some, but wait till His claws start comin’ out….

Uppity – your words and video brought me to tears because of the truth in both. Is there anyway you can implore to Fox, Cnn, and msnbc to interview you and maybe show your video? And to remind them of Susan B Anthony’s quote? Thank you for being you.

THIS MUST HIT THE MAINSTREAM SOMEHOW:

OBAMA PATRIOTISM
This is one of the most dispiriting things I have ever seen in an
election for the highest office of our country. Not only should this
man be relieved of his duties as a Senator but should never never be
considered for this high office. Please pass this on to some of your
Democratic friends to see their take on it!
The following is a narrative taken from Sunday Morning’s televised
‘Meet The Press’ and the author is employed by none other than the
Washington Post!!
From Sunday’s Televised ‘Meet the Press’ Senator Obama was asked about
his stance on the American Flag. Obama Explains National Anthem Stance
Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn’ USAF (ret.) asked
Obama to explain why he doesn’t follow protocol when the National
Anthem is played. The General also stated to the Senator that
according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171…
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed,
all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention
facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very least,
‘Stand and Face It’
Senator Obama Live on Sunday stated:
‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as
taking sides, Obama said. ‘There are a lot of people in the world to
whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem
itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air
and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less
bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.’ If
that were our anthem, then I might salute it.’We should consider to
reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better
offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to
disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren.
If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the
nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of
mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I
will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who
have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from
disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the
nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the Flag for
many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag
burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and
I have mine’. Of course now, I have found myself about to become the
President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will
use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a
new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s
First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States
of America.’
WHAAAAAAAT the Hell !!!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be
our next President.
I, for one, am speechless.

I believe this has been found out to be a “joke.”

It never happened.

Another brick in your wall of idiocy. Whether you wrote this in order to continue to poison rational discourse or actually believe it yourself, your foolishness will be rewarded next month.

OMG. Do you have a link for this?

http://firefox McAnnie Carmel Baracuda

I believe the first part is part of his response to not wearing the pin, etc., but I’ve never heard the 2nd part and it would be silly to assume he’d say this close to the election.

Certainly if there’s a link, let’s see it. Don’t put it past the bots to put out things to garner outrage and then offer proof that everyone is racist.

No link? nice try.

The following is what I heard Obama say (the rest of it is BS).

Senator Obama Live on Sunday stated:
‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as

whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem

bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.

feminism: the radical idea that women are people too.

As an older woman who came of age in 1968,I worry about a return to the political climate of that time EVERY DAY.

I always thought it would come from the right.

I never dreamed it would come from the left.

Lost in history books is Woodrow Wilson’s early, unfeeling opposition to women’s rights. So it can come from the Democratic Party, too. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/wilson/portrait/wp_suffrage.html

After the United States entered the [First World] war, American suffragists strongly felt that if America could defend democracy abroad, they deserved it at home, in the form of votes for women. Beginning in early 1917, a small but determined group of militant suffragists led by Alice Paul had been picketing the White House, urging Woodrow Wilson to support a Constitutional amendment to give women the right to vote. Calling themselves the ” Silent Sentinels,” a rotating cluster of women stood at the White House gates for months. They carried signs intended to challenge and embarrass Wilson.

At first, Wilson seemed bemused by the picketers. He tipped his hat and smiled. He even invited them in for coffee. But as time went on, his attitude changed. Wilson did not think women should be chaining themselves to the White House fence. His reaction was not very gentlemanly, and not very democratic. [snip] In late June 1917, six women were arrested. Eleven more were detained on July 4. Ten days later, a third group was taken into custody. All the women were charged with “obstructing traffic.” The protesters were sentenced to 60 days in the workhouse. There, they suffered beatings, forced feeding, and unsanitary conditions. But the pickets – and the arrests – continued. In August, scuffles broke out right in front of the White House gates. For three days suffragists were dragged, punched and choked by angry crowds. City police stood by, refusing to intervene.

WasLNbutNoBamaBotsKeepStealingMyName

we are not talking about political parties here…and Wilson is moulding in his grave…it’s nearing the end of 2009 and we are still having a discussion in this country about whether a woman is fit to serve as President.

Unbelievable!

IRON-JAWED ANGELS is the movie (PBS) that every woman and man who cares about women’s human rights should view! It’s superbly depicting the life and times of these brave young women on whose shoulders we stand….or fall….

WasLNbutNoBamaBotsKeepStealingMyName

Yes, poison acorn, I totally agree…who would have ever dreamed that this would come from the left.

poison acorn

Not me, WasLN.

It looks to me like these young women are determined to give away our rights.

They seem to have no idea what our mothers and grandmothers went through.

Susanjane

I am your peer and I agree completely.It breaks my heart to see young women take the rights ,we worked so hard for, for granted. We must always remain vigilant. We need Vice President Sarah Pallin. Please, everyone, dont give up. Lets work as hard as we can to get John and Sarah across the finish line as winners.

poison acorn

If it were not for the ACLU Women’s project and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, we’d still be living under daddy’s roof instead of our own, and driving his car, instead of our own. We’d still be forced into quitting our jobs if we became pregnant. We’d still be working for pennies on the dollar.
We’d still not be admitted into medical and law school.

It’s not just about Roe. It’s about basic adult autonomy. They DO NOT get that.

They were born into a world where they took all our rights for granted, and seem to have no earthly idea that if they do not safeguard those rights, the rights will disappear.

I’ve learned so much since January that I had before taken for granted, and I’m not THAT young.

Thank you poison acorn, I’d never heard of the ACLU Women’s project. Reading up on it now.

Good post, Uppity.

I have watched the sexism grow slowly and surely over the past 15 years.

It’s blossomed this year.

But the statistics tell the truth. Crimes against women are up, for example. Women incarcerated for drug deals by their boyfriends under harsh laws are up. Women serving longer sentences than men for the same crime….up.

Nobody likes to realize that how we treat women on the bottom has a “creep up” factor.

Articles about how to dress, what surgery you need to stay competitive…..up.

Articles admonishing women to stay home and homeschool children…..up. Talk about going back to the log cabin days.

The treatment of our women candidates this year simply is a reflection of what I’ve seen going on.

PamFlorida

The #1 cause of death of pregnant women is violence perpetrated by their spouse or boyfriend. What a horrifying statistic.

Leisa

Uppity, this post was powerful, and I agree.
We cannot, should not be bystanders on this issue.

Would you ask yourself what someone’s political views were before you would stop and render aid to a person in distress? When we see a woman being abused in public, do we try to run and hide, do we avert our eyes?

On another note, a friend sent me this email today…

‘A Woman’

This is written in the Hebrew Talmud, the book
where all of the sayings and preaching of
Rabbis are preserved over time.
It says: ‘Be very careful if you make a woman
cry, because G-d counts her tears. The woman
came out of a man’s rib. Not from his feet to be
walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but
from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be
protected, and next to the heart to be loved.’

The feminist movement of the 1960s grew directly out of the sexism of the men involved with the civil rights movement.

perhaps history willl repeat itself here, but when I look at those ignorant female Obamabots and their tee shirts, I am not terribly hopeful.

I shudder to think what these young women may have to experience before they wake up, and I most certainly do not want my rights abrogated because of their ignorance and mental health issues.

rw

“The feminist movement of the 1960s grew directly out of the sexism of the men involved with the civil rights movement.”

And didn’t the suffragists working along side abolitionists get abandoned in their equality struggle once emancipation was achieved? Suffragists were “used”, sound familiar? To complain of this inequality, Sojourner Truth, an AA woman, wrote an essay for a newspaper titled, “Ain’t I a Woman.” She was emancipated, but unlike AA males, she remained invisible, along side white women, when it came to the right to vote.

Urban Hillbilly

Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman” is one of the most awesome writings in American History. So incredibly brave.

I agree with you 100% Why should our rights be incarcerated while these young female political bimbos are afflicted with Obamyopia?

I recommend you get this video: “Iron-Jawed Angels” with Angelika Huston about the suffragettes’ fight and how the Vote was Won….wish we could force these T-shirt anomalies to watch.

I’m listening, uppity! So are my three daughters. So are several “liberal” feminists who I never would have believed would have the courage to say No to the Dem party. As gut wrenching as that was for them, they did it. We’re strong and we’re growing!
amelia

This is why, for the first time in my life, I will vote for a Republican for president. I consider myself a Devout Liberal Democrat and also a yellow dog Democrat. I always voted for the Democratic candidate, even if I didn’t much care for them. But not after this rape and theft of the primary election from Hillary Clinton. BO didn’t win, he and his cohorts stole the election and he will never get my vote. I had to live thru this same scenario in 2000, when bush stole the election from Gore. The person who has the most votes should win. I will not condone any kind of cheating in any elections even when it comes from my side of the political room.

The constant barrage of insults and comments about Hillary and Palin, are disgusting to me. I’ve never seen such horrible treatment of any candidate, who is female. I look at these people and I can’t figure out who they are because I never expected my Democratic pary to behave in such a way. They aren’t the real Democrats, I am and I want my real party back with all the issues that are important to us. I would never vote for such an unqualified person for any job, especially the president. Obama has no experience, too many skeletons in his closet and has done a damn thing for any of his constituents in Illinois except to enable his crooked friends in Illinois. If I wanted my president to be controlled by the mobsters, I’d vote for Tony Soprano for the president. At least he has experience and would get the job done, whether legally or unlegally.

Ellen D.

Yes, and Tony Soprano has executive experience.

Who is credited with the vote that made the difference?

Right on, Amelia! Which is a truly beautiful name and reminiscent of a Grecian lady during the 1820s whose bravery and aristocratic background were the legends of history…

Uppity’s post captures the tragicomedy that is the ex-Democratic party’s legacy. Shame on Barry for being the camouflaged misogynist anorexic resume that he truly is.

benny

As a male, I’m just plain afraid of whats happening. Europe and Asia have elected women leaders. Why not the most developed country in the world? And the leader of the free world? Can you imagine what agony hillary went through? and now palin? this would never have happened to a male politician. If obama wins, you can be sure that no woman would put herself in the fray for higher office. cos the demeaning, criticism, humiliation and insults are just too much in the media and in society. even so-called progressives turn sexist if I mention palin, with no shame. This is not good for american women.

AnninCA

Well, I don’t think Hillary “suffered,” and Palin is going to be a star in one form or another in the future.

Women politicians are as tough as male politicians. They don’t take stuff personally. I guess, maybe, all young politicians suffer the first few times around the block. But you can’t really be in that business if you’re going to have thin skin.

Of all the politicians I’ve seen, Obama, honestly, has the thinnest skin.

He is, to use a gender-biased term, a bit of a wuss.

benny

for once annin, I disagree.
Ani

If you don’t think Hillary suffered, you really need to think again.

This comment makes no sense.

She is a human being and tough and smart as she is, any woman who has spent 35 years of her life fighting for her party, fighting for the rights, of children, education, veterans, first responders, women’s rights and health care only to be stabbed in the back by her own party in favor of this charlatan and fraud — and to have the worst misogynistic disgusting attacks hurled at her daily by the media and by Obama’s supporters — if you don’t think she suffered, then you are sadly mistaken.

I think you are way off base here.

AnninCA

That’s OK. I think you guy’s over-emotionalize stuff. Is that a word?

Hillary is a pro.

I do think Bill suffered, btw. It really hurt him to be cast as a racist.

That was a low blow.

Hillary?

Nah*…..

She intuitively knew what she was up against, and she was right. LOL*

AMERICAN SAWBUCK

It hurts me also to be cast as a racist after almost 50 years of wanting ALL people to succeed…and all that because I don’t drink kool aid….well I’m in good company with Bill Clinton because he doesn’t care for kool aid either.
benny

wrong again, annin.

AnninCA

If you’d like to picture Hillary as a victim, go right ahead.

I have a lot more respect for her than that.

She was disappointed, of course.

A victim?

Never.

benny

ok, lets agree to disagree. If you think she wasnt a victim, you’re delusional. wasnt she a victim of the electoral process? sad, annin. you choose to put blinders on.

AnninCA

I don’t really have a clue as to what you are trying to put forward, benny.

Mostly criticism of my posts.

But what are YOUR ideas?

And I will not criticize them, btw.

Just curious.

benny

annin, you responded to my post. just look up, and you’d understand. I’ve always supported you here. come on, dont criticise my posts. lol

AnninCA

OK…..sorry, I have to admit, I rarely pay attention to poster names.

But still, I ask you.

What DO you think?
benny

no arguements, annin. I’ve had enough.

Ani

Of course she is not a victim. No one here is saying she is.

One can experience great pain, even suffering without being a victim.

Suffering does not equal victim, let’s get that straight.

If you’d like to put yourself in her shoes and think the pain is not excruciating for how she was treated by her own filthy party, maybe you’ll rethink your comments.

Emotion has nothing to do with it.

AnninCA

*blink*

If pain is “excruciating” then that’s emotional pain.

I’m not getting it.

Hillary is a pro. She was disappointed.

She’s not on the verge of suicide, for heaven’s sakes.

What are you suggesting?

benny

“I think you guy’s over-emotionalize stuff.” stop being sexist, annin.
Ani

LOL??

Please stop this.

You have no idea what you are talking about here.

rw

The media, Obama supporters….how about Obama himself?? How about the realization that she is a more qualified candidate, that she has done her work, that she won the popular vote, only to have the nomination GIVEN, in a supposed democracy”, to a zero? And then, to have a political future, go out and campaign for a loser.

Sounds like the raped speaking in defense of the rapist.

Gosh, I seem to be not communicating.

I have thought for YEARS that it’s endemic AND damaging.

I definitely get it.

I also get that it’s a process.

What’s weird to me about gender bias is that I am also equally sure that nobody buys it, deep down.

Children instinctively know which parent is smarter, for example.

Men who are NOT the brighter in a couple….nearly always look to their wives for the answer.

So it’s not real.

mira

I believe when something that you deserve by merit, effort, and by the peoples vote as Hillary did, is robbed from you, it is a great burden and would without doubt create suffering even for a seasoned professsional.

I believe there’s overwhelming evidence that Obama is detached from what he’s saying and doing.

Ellen D.

As another older woman – graduated college in 63 – I remember the want ads segregated into “Help Wanted Male” & “Help Wanted Female” (can you type?).
Because I am an artist, my interviews when they reviewed my work often ended with “You are married. Why do you want to work?” My boss at a Government agency asked if I intended to have children. Advancements were offered to men first because they had families to support, and only when they screwed up did I get promoted because I could do it.
Good Times.
Support any woman who supports other women, no matter what their politics. Both Hillary and Sarah do. If any woman doesn’t support other women, drop ‘em. If they snipe at other women to curry favor with the male ruling class, drop ‘em. They are not your ally – they are the enemy.
Yes, I am old enough to be your mother. Yes I am still working. And I don’t waste time on people who don’t talk straight.

“Killed” as in actual violence. During period 2000 to 2006, 4,500 soldiers and law enforcement men were killed in hostile and “friendly” fire.
During same time period 8,100 women were murdered by “intimate males” in their lives. Thousands more were injured and traumatized psychologically and have the scars to prove it. This costs over 11 billion dollars in wasted productivity and medical care.

“Women’s Rights” are “Human Rights” and “Human Rights ARE Women’s Rights”—Hillary Clinton defiantly shouted at the Bejing UN Conference in ’95. Her words ring true but not so loud during this ignominious fraudulent Election….
I’ll watch “IRON JAWED ANGELS” with Angelika Huston once again tonight to pray for the souls of our Sisters and remember Alice Paul and her Obama of the Day–Pres. Wilson….ah, these leftist sexist piggies are no different than the right-wing…Hillary or Sarah—they’re both victimized and the darn female bimbette-Obamabots just get afflicted with OBAMYOPIA and can’t see straight….Let’s hope they don’t end up in “friendly” fire’s way some day….

I totally agree! I call women who don’t help other women “the tool of the oppressor”. We are in serious hurt here, people. This is such a bad situation for women, but so many close their eyes to it- hoping to get a crumb from the guys in charge…It won’t happen! Get over it and get a spine and vote against misogyny or live with the consequences for a VERY long time.

Thank-you! Thank you Uppity. We need to shout this from the rooftops ourselves. The silence of the Women’s Groups is deafening. The female anchors
(except Greta) are disgusting to hear. TRAITORS to their sex! Benedict Arnolds! Instead of exposing it, they join in. TRAITORS!

If wide scale sexism and misogyny can happen to the two most powerful women in the country, all women at risk. It will filter down into our workplaces and our communities. What are you going to do then Katie “Benedict” Couric or Campbell “Arnold” Brown? When you, yourselves, are degraded and made fun of. Are you going to look to average women for help and support? Well I say screw you. You reap what you sow.

yesterday’s interview with Hannity and today’s policy conference showed how well prepared and how firm and filled with solid convictions Sarah Palin will lead the country towards a family and resource oriented economy. Her solutions to conditions such as child development impairments and many other problems that affect our families are always resource oriented and not government imposed prescriptions.

Palin > American resources > build with American ingenuity > by American workers. Palin the best VP candidate ever to lurk over our horizon.

God bless Gov. Palin.

Uppity;

Very good post. I say this same thing on other blogs I post on. For women who are going along with their Cavemen of putting women down, do you really think your Cavemen have any respect for you?

Of course not, he laughs at you for being so stupid as t put down your own sex, as you can see on any rappers videos all the rappers and Cavemen are concern about are A**ES, TITS, and C*UTS. They do not care if you have a brain as long as you have the main parts they are concern about.

Women better wake up, this is not a joke, especially the dumb women who are wearing the Sarah is a C*NT T-Shirts. That is so not cool. The women who act like that are not the ones the Cavemen will marry, they will marry the women who demand respect and will not take any SH*T off the cavemen. The cavemen will respect them and do anything in the world to please them. The uncool women Not So much.

I cannot believe women let them selves be taken for a ride by the Cavemen, Women STAND UP AND DEMAND RESPECT, FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND FIGHT ALONG SIDE YOUR FELLOW WOMEN. We are letting Obama and his thugs put us back into the stone age, and it is not right. I fight for my fellow women everyday, I will not stand around and let men call women B*TCHES or any other demeaning thing. Most women laugh and think it is cute. IF YOU DO NOT DEMAND RESPECT YOU WILL NOT GET IT. STAND FOR SOMETHING OR FALL FOR EVERYTHING.

Right now we are fighting for our freedom and our country. Please do not sell our country down the river for a few pieces of silver or the likes of Barack Hussein Obama.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS!
WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!
PUMAS ROCKS!

I definitely am serious. Hillary has been the public eye her entire life.

I’m from Arkansas. We SKEWERED her (not me….I’m a Clinton Dem) for her headbands and for originally not taking Bill’s name in marriage.

She’s been dealing with sexism for longer than I even knew it existed.

She’s a pro.

rw

Either she is so used to it she didn’t even see it, or doesn’t bother to confront it, or whatever…but the bottom line is the sexism used by her own party lost her the nomination.

AnninCA

I would suggest you may be viewing this from your own personal perspective.

Hillary is a professional politician. She’s is as well honed as you’ll ever see in life….WAY more than Biden, for example.

In fact, her early experiences probably worked against her. She has a bubble around her.

Bill did not.

That’s probably the ONLY real difference. He could work from his heart. She had to protect hers.

I personally do not think there’s any magic in all of this. She was skewered, as a liberal woman, in my home state for many years. Skewered, and I’m guessing if anything “hurt,” it was those early political times.

Not this one.

She “matured.”

But….Bill could operate from his heart because he wasn’t so skewered so early.

It’s just a gender difference, and one that I guess won’t be “righted” in my lifetime.

However, my point is that she learned. She figured out what really matters to people in small towns, in rural areas, in those populations such as the Latinos.

She transformed those negative experiences.

I guess I’m a bit of a goof on this.

But I always followed her lead, from the time I was a teen and she was my “first lady” in Arkansas.

I saw how she ignored the critics and moved forward.

I tried to emulate that in my own small world.

I can absolutely pass along. It worked.

Shainzona

Uppity – I will never forget – OR FORGIVE. I have a memory like an elephant!
http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

ANNINCA – Are you serious? You don’t think Hillary SUFFERED? I can tell you first hand that she was devastated. Do you think she LOVED having the biggest does of VOTER FRAUD, SEXISM and HATE directed towards her by the Obamas and the DNC, her OWN PARTY? After her HUSBAND was a TWO TERM PRESIDENT? Wow. Sometimes your posts just have such a cold heart to them and not too logical. Hillary is not happy. She was damaged very badly by evil, corrupt azzholes who will pay for this. They are already paying with all the people who left the party and they will have a loss November 4. KARMA.

Copyright 2008 Uppity Woman. All Rights Reserved. And I’m not kidding.

I have to laugh at that. Anyway. Like I said above, Gov. Sarah Palin last two appearances (that I saw) I hope you have seen more of her today, demonstrate her very fair capabilities to lead this country in a fair and honest way and in a way that would benefit all, Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

Her best quality is that she does not rely like UppityWoman on looking back at history for her strength. She relies on her present strength built on her entire cultural upbringing. She demonstrate ‘presence’ at a glance but also on demand.

Ounce by ounce she is the best politician on the circuit right now. The best politician on the circuit. And by the way, Todd Palin, her husband does not requires anything of her in terms of obedience to him and neither any form of control.
Her family unit demonstrates a balance of power and respect and admiration for each other. This is the kind of example America needs. Not the other kind of example where a man is always in top of everything.

AnninCA

We agree on this.

I learned one important lesson. Look back. Turn to salt.

I still live by just moving forward.

Another HUGE lesson for me….because I was raised to please others as a woman.

30% like you immediately
30% dislike you immediately
30% have no opinion and don’t even notice…..

10% for the flip-floppers.

So there’s no percentage in living life to please others.

I’m rather logical. That “undid” a lot of Souther Woman upbringing.

Today, I please myself. I think Sarah is a kindred soul.

Or at least I like to imagine that.

Oddly, I think Obama is much more a people-pleaser type. They are unreliable.
rw

One looks back to history not to get strength but to get knowledge. And knowledge is power. And, those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it…..
ritamary

Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Why are you criticizing Uppity? People get their strength from where ever they can find it.

How do you know Sarah Palin doesn’t look to the past? Didn’t she thank Hillary Clinton for helping to break the glass ceiling?

I find it very curious that now TWO women, you and AnninCA, have chosen to pick apart Uppity’s post by arguing very trivial points.

AnninCA

I liked the post, and said that immediately.

I think this yet another “your for or agin’ us” criticism.

Live in the gray.

It’s far more realistic.

JEEEZUS HOWARD CHRIST! AnninCA…A SPINE IS NOT REQUIRED TO LIVE IN THAT GRAY ZONE EITHER….SHEEESH!
Do you stand for anything?….aside from yourself?

AnninCA

If you are intellectually honest at all, I believe you will have to admit that the reason my posts garner such reaction is precisely because I have a spine, speak pretty clearly most days, and am not particularly “for myself.”

I must state that I think this is a precisely why this election is about to go for Obama.

I do think he will win, btw.

I think it’s because of intellectual dishonesty such as what you just posted.

There is very little authentic discourse even today.

I think the economic crash may help.

It may actually smack a few people.

But, reading history, I think again, maybe not.

No…AnninCA…Your posts are tedious and the same knid of wishwashy BULLSHIT BLATHER WE HEAR FROM OBAMA….sheeesh!

I didn’t say anything negative about UppityWoman’s posting in terms of what that posting meant to her. I didn’t criticize her. I question that she had that picture as the basis for her outrage.

And if you want to live by cliches find w/me.

And why I criticize? Because is in me to do so.

amelia

Thanks for the video, it is great and it also brings home to me very sharply, that 2 of the greatest politicians, in our lifetime, were actually elected by more people in this country but were the victims of election theft, by a Republican thief and a Democratic thief. Can you imagine where this country would be at if we had Gore for the past 8 years and then would have Hillary for the next 8? I literally weep to think of what our lives would be like.

amelia

Sorry but I forgot to add that they were 2 of the most unselfish and honorable people in our lifetime.

dontworry

Uppity, I totally agree with you. Have felt that way for a long time.

I will not vote for him, but I hope that if Obama becomes president, he will help advance the cause of women. If he doesn’t, and if indeed what you are fearing happens, that all women will experience more disrespect and mistreatment when they assert themselves, then we’ll have a lot of work to do.

Right now, I feel like both parties are playing with my head.

And I am afraid to tell people I like Sarah Palin, and that I admire her–I live in New York–because I’ll be shunned by my peers. And that really really sucks.

I don’t understand the hate coming from so many democrats, from the media, and from so many Obama supporters. It makes me sad, and as someone who was not born in this country but is a citizen, I am having a hard time loving my adopted country.
jyotinc

You’re 100% right Uppity. BO is still BO, the abuser. Remember he didn’t even vetted on Hillary to be the VP.Like all the women in his life Hillary was used too. She got an agenda and career to protect. But I can’t follow my Party blindly nor the person I admire. Who do you think who can protect the interest of women? Women. I give due respect to McCain for doing that. Who got no shortcomings anyway? At least you can trust McCain and he proven himself again and again. With Palin, I really admire her guts and tenacity.She got more achievement and experience than BO. They’re doing the same smear and vile treatment to Sarah that DNC and MSM thrown to Hillary.
I”m so ashamed of what my Party has became.

Vote for McCain and Palin! At least in RNC, we have a big chance to have a woman as VP. Fight for our country and fight for women.

UPPITY:

GREAT POST!

Your Daughters and Granddaughters will be as proud of you at the half century as we are of the ‘Pioneers Of Womans Rights” today.

Hillary, Sarah, Uppity Women, Pumas— every woman who stands up under this onslaught of Gender hate in this dark time, will be remembered as the “Embattled Band Of Sisters, and “This Your Finest Hour”!

I admire each and everyone of you and envy your “Historic Immotality”.

So many of us have taken solace from your indomitable spirit.
democracyfirst

I tell everyone I have an opportunity to talk to:

Any woman who votes for Obama or any of his enablers does not have any respect for themselves, their mothers, their daughters, their grandmothers, their granddaughters, or any other women.

They should be ashamed of themselves for helping to destroy what so many many women have fought for and accomplished throughout our history.

They should be ashamed for hindering women who are still fighting for equal rights all over the world.

I have never told anyone who to vote for and I still won’t. There are many choices on the ballot that would not lead to the erosion of women’s rights.

There are many very serious reasons not to vote for Obama and this is one of them.

Any woman, and any man who respects women, should be ashamed if they vote for Obama.

AnninCA

I think Obama just tapped into the sexims that was raging already in our culture.
badtothebone

but but but…what about ABORTIOOOOOOOOOOOON? Aren’t we women all about abortion and if we can have abortions and our uterus and stuff? There can’t really be other issues that we care about since we are nothing but our reproductive organs. And after all the democratic party will faithfully protect our reproductive rights…er…wait… they shoved Bob Casey’s candidacy on us.. er… and Obama says we need to talk to our husbands and pastors before we get an abortion and oh hell

Dan

I am a 26 year old man and I am furious with how both Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton have been treated. Neither are radicals, and they have worked damn hard for their accomplishments yet they are being treated like second class citizens from the most of the media. I had never donated to a campaign before but after I saw the media bash Palin right when McCain picked her, I sent their campaign 50 dollars. I wish I could have afforded to send the maximum! I really worry that if the media is allowed to do this to them now one after the other, with no reprecussions, how are we ever going to have a female president and how will females ever get paid dollar for dollar compared to men? I am rooting for Palin and McCain all the way!

AnninCA

What I think is that you should have been furious that a woman who kills her husband in a domestic dispute spends nearly twice the time in prison than a man convicted of the same crime.

This isn’t a new phenomena, folks.

It’s been hideously obvious to many “real” feminists for many, many years.

And the Erica Jongs of the world simply did nothing.

rw

What kind of response is this to Dan’s comment??

ritamary

AnninCA just likes to pick apart other people’s comments. Just shows how women are often their own worst enemies.

Pennsylvania goes RED!

If “AnninCA” is even female.

one of “Ann”‘s posts in response to a Bill Ayers date rape story was truly cold. It made me wonder if “Ann” is a guy in disguise.

AnninCA

You are sure not very good at computer assessment. I recommend you not try dating through Match.com.

*haha.

I’m female, over 50, raised in a very traditional mid-western family in the South, but raised with a great dad who encouraged me to “go for it,” whatever “it” was.

I’m a Daddy’s girl, in short.

AnninCA

I take it you ignored all the sexism in the previous decade.

Not me.

I got into action.

And I work within my community to help women who have been harmed by this last 15 years of hideous sexism.

I really recommend that some of you get involved in your community.

You’ll understand people like me, for one.

but more important, you’ll get out of your heads.

Following the thread, seems you injected the social into the political.

Dan made a comment about supporting Hillary/Palin in their struggle for equality —in politics— and you responded from left field with the judicial/social disparity of women incarcerated.

Your work is commendable, but ill fit as a response, really.

What is going on is a battle of defining feminism.
I realized it the other day talking with a fellow collegue. She is about 12 years older than me. For her, feminism is all about sexual freedom and reproductive rights. It was and still is for her the idea of shedding old 50′s sterotypes of women being locked into monogomy and motherhood against their will. I am the same age as Sarah Palin. For me feminism was elbowing my way into science and math classes in Graduate School. Equal access to sports. Pay equality. Making my way into a male dominated- career and suceeding. As far as my reproductive and sex life- that’s my personal business thank you very much. Goverment and popular culture can stay out.

Sarah Palin’s definition of feminism threatens the women’s establishment that has been centered on sexual equality for the last 40 years. They are so threatened by an expanded definiton of equality, they are willing to accept sexism and misogyny. Unbelieveable!

It was. She maintains sexual assault took place.

But McCain was smart enough not to jump at this. He and Palin must have noticed this did not pass the smell test either.

They called her right away to see if she was all right. Then said, ‘out of respect’ they will not bring it up.

Smart.
Leisa

Her black eye did look like a makeup job…

We must not suppose this girl to be well or that she will hurt McCain’s campaign. This girl needs help.

It reminds me of the Obama delegate that called child protective services in TX that claimed to be am underage girl forced into marriage and beaten and raped by her husband on that Polygamist Ranch in Eldorado. I think that was much worse, as over 400 children were traumatized by the compound being raided and being whisked off into state custody.

I am not a fan of polygamy and I do believe that intervention is needed with this group, however, the way this was handled because of that Obama delegate’s calls, the state of Texas and the case is in jeopardy.

Story as it is broken, before we learn the call is a hoax.

OT:
These two videos are important:
(this appears to be the video Rush was talking about today)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF_RAe9HQi4

And this one where The Precious praises Wright:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c6g6ZVeQBM

Also the birth certificate issue is beginning to seep into the mainstream. I posted this earlier:

I think this is the mindset The Precious has created: People are assuming anyone is not eligible to be president if they won’t prove they are eligible. That will probably cost him a couple million votes as the cat is now out of the bag. Gretta and Savage have now reported there is an issue and word spreads fast in spite of the MSM sanitization of information. So if The Precious is not eligible, hiding this is the same as admitting it. And if he is hiding that he is not who he says he is or who his dad is, the cover-up will destroy his candidacy. I think he is stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think it safe to assume he is hiding something and this hurts him when all he has to do is release a piece of paper.

Added thoughts:
The birth certificate is not his problem, per se. What people think about him hiding it is the problem and now not only Savage but Gretta have addressed this. It can’t be contained too much longer.

Sue

I heard Savage last night, but I didn’t know Greta was addressing this issue. Wow. You’re right. It can’t be contained much longer.
kinthenorthwest

Gatt you are so right about the BC. It is the fact that only a few might have seen it..the question is why not the main media?

This is also the question behind many other Obama issues….Why does he go to such lengths to lie about his non association with so many people when there are paper trails to prove other wise.( Hey I never really cared whether he was friends with Ayers or not. It was the lies he told about his association with him).

Thank you Uppity!!
And for a little more “Suppression” talk look what American Thinker found in Obama’s own voice:

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/10/obama_on_on_race_and_salvation.html

Obama on on race and salvation
Thomas Lifson
A 1995 radio interview with Barack Obama contains some interesting verbiage on the subject of race and salvation: specifically his claim that his salvation lies in collective salvation through politics — which is consistent with the Black Liberation Theology he abosrbed from Rev. Jeremiah Wright. He also disparages suburban whites as unwilling to pay taxes for the benefit of inner city blacks.

What does a whack job have to do with McCain, the woman needs to go to jail, I dont care who she supports. There are whack jobs on both sides of this election, I found her story suspicious when I read what supposedly happen, the robber told her “Your voting for McCain” please, robbers dont talk like that, and that B looked too good for someone that would have been struggling, so yeah it smelled like BS from the start

According to CBS this morn the woman had a witness to the attack. The witness was her mother. But still they said the police were still investigating. Maybe the cops drug out the rubber hose. That will change a lot of stories that are true to a confession of false. IT HAPPENS.

Hope McCain/Palin wins. Otherwise, sexism will get institutionalised. I cant imagine the psychology of female obamacrats.
SantaFeK

Thanks, Uppity, a great article and so true. Been there, done that, have had it all said to me at one time or another.

It’s all right for left-wing liberal women to trash Gov. Palin, it seems with the most denigrating comments, and what they don’t realize is how much they are being/have been trashed themselves by the Dems. And many of these women just denied or tuned out what happened to Senator Clinton. A liberal, highly professional friend, Obama supporter, said to me that she is starting to be concerned about sexism on the media because of her daughter in college. This same woman suffered sexism in an academic department years ago. Then she recommends that I watched Rachel Maddow on the sexist network. Disconnects everywhere.

This election certainly has changed my life.

AnninCA

You know, my very small experience in corporate America taught me one thing.

I watched over and over as the “new” person trashed the “last gal’s” work.

It was pretty much a gender deal, too. Men who took over had no problem in giving the last guy his due.

I guess it’s just a part of moving up in the pecking order.

For me? It didn’t make sense, really.

But I have always been a bit of nutcase on fairness.

Credit due is credit due in my thinking.

I’ve also always thought that nothing good can come a negative place. Just my 2 cents.

Even if I criticized someone’s approach in my own “world,” I waited to develop my own ideas until I shed that thinking.

I believe that good comes from good.

In THIS discussion, that’s why I wondered about PUMAS. That’s a resentment-based deal.

Can they transform that to something positive?

I still hope so, but I’m very disappointed that they said they paid off Hillary’s debt, but obviously they didn’t. I’ve not yet heard the real story on that.

Anyone know what happened? Did someone abscound with the money?

Go Sarah Go!

Sarracuda In So Cal

Yeah I saw that but unfortunately it cuts off and doesn’t show the full thing but I did read what she said. She is absolutely AMAZING, she is what is REAL about this election, she is what we need in Washington, someone that doesn’t go around pretending to be better then everyone else. The stupid media talks too much about her clothes and her hair and the way she talks, she is just a beautiful and inspirational human being. We need her, my cousin is also autistic so I understand what she is saying. She gets very emotional talking about her nephew because he is autistic and now she has a son who has Down’s syndrome and wants to make a difference. She is what is RIGHT about America, We need her, the more I see her the more I want to see her in the White House. It would be an absolute travesty if she lost, if she loses, we all lose

I don’t have the link, but it was a beautiful, emotional speech and it shows the integrity and strength that so many people admire about Palin. She will truly be an advocate for families with special needs children.
Even the male news host on fox said he was choked up when he listened to her speak.
It is such a travesty that the media focuses on her wardrobe and not on the truly great things that Palin will do for this country. I am sure, as someone who can’t afford the designer clothes that MO and the ladies on the View wear that having to accept donations is not an easy thing to admit. However, her humility is endearing and inspiring to people like me, just regular, every day people.

NFL Football Hall of Famer John Elway endorses John McCain and will campaign with McCain in Colorado!

Go Johnny Go!!

Uppity, you said it sister! I know women in their 50s who are voting for Oblowme in spite of not liking him because they are democrats and think they have to.

The young women I teach, on the other hand, believe that everyone thinks they are equal and all the feminists who are “whining” are stuck in the 1970s.

Here’s what I hope. If Oblowme is elected, I hope R v W is overturned and the rights we fought for (like having a credit card in your own name!) are lost.

Yeah, I’m that pissed. And I voted for McCain/Palin!

Read Heidi Li’s post today? I recommend it.

she has not “ruined our chances of winning”. If that’s all it takes to lose then we’re not fighting hard enough!

I agree, the woman is a nut job, I had no idea nut jobs decide elections.

I think the press is now down to the “Wait and see stage.”

We’ll see a lot of goofy stories…..the candidates are in their closing argument stage.

So from this site, we get stories about how his grandmother isn’t really dying. (She’s 85…gimme a break!)

From other blogs, let’s focus on Sarah’s clothing bill.

It’s all “filler” stuff.

Nothing new in the way of campaign messages will be happening now for 2 weeks.

It’s truly now up to voters.
rw

maybe she’s a mold from the Obama camp…doing it for some nice $.

Pennsylvania goes RED!

I thought the same thing, about her being a n0bama-mole.

n0bamacrats commit crazy lawless acts, like the TN kid who hacked Palin’s e-mail.

Thanks for this great post.

What I think is disturbing is the amount of women who are putting Sarah Palin down. I’ve heard women on radio talking about her with dissent, commenting on her clothes, lack of experience, etc. and NONE of the comment is good.

I happen to think that Sarah has a lot going for her.

Women are not supporting women, perhaps it’s jealously.

AnninCA

I think the awful answer is…habit.
http://www.hillaryorbust.com Hillary or Bust

Women don’t support other women because we are raised to compete with each other for male attention.

We’ve heard this “There isn’t any difference between the Democrats and the Republicans” line before. Wasn’t true then, isn’t true now.

Enjoy Nov. 4.

Pragmatist

I will enjoy November 4 because McCain/Palin will win and win BIG!!

GREAT POST. And thanks for the video–I really loved Hillary and came to admire her compassion and respect her intelligence so much.

My husband and I voted absentee today for McCain/Palin. I was wavering about voting for Nader (won’t matter here in CA) but I decided I really needed to vote for the woman candidate. And I like Sarah Palin who is a true feminist despite what my elitist friends like to say about her.

Urban Hillbilly

Good for you, bayareavoter!

My two sisters like Palin a lot – disagree with her on policies. My Mom puts down Palin on personal reasons, I stand up for Palin, just like my Mom taught me to do! Ha!

I am undecided/leaning McCain, but I dare NOT mention my slight preference for McCain/Palin here. I’m underground about it, too!

Polly

I agree with pragmatist. If this story is indeed false, she has not ruined any chances of McCain winning. Mary needs to calm down and get a grip. Naomi Judd campaigning in Missouri (where I am from)
will mean a great deal more to Missouri people than the young lady who fabricated a story. And, although I don’t know much about sports, the endorsement
of John Elway certainly does not hurt McCain either.
Both of these things, as minor as they are, will mean more than this young lady’s fifteen minutes of fame.

kinthenorthwest

I do think the media will play up this fraud….It strange how all the Obama frauds just end up on back pages…

I keep going back to the liberation movements led by M.K. Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. While both these men were embedded in sexist attitudes, they understood the following about oppression: that to resist it, one must transcend usual lines of division. For Gandhi that mean, caste lines; for Mandela, tribal ones. For feminists (male and female) in the U.S. today it means making common cause with other feminists despite the other differences we have with one one another. Thank you, uppitywoman, for this post.

AF catfish

Wow, that is persuasive. Please post this on NoQuarter as an article.

Great article Uppity! I spent the past week in a monastery whose library offered a collection of highly informative books on liberation theology. According to several renown theologians, liberation theology per se is notorious for ignoring women’s rights. Sexism against women is rarely mentioned in early liberation theology (80s) nor is it much of an issue today within this movement.

As most of us at NQ know, Barack Obama’s church of 20 years taught Black Liberation Theology. Reverend Wright preached it every chance he got. Remember how Fr. Pfleger, the Catholic priest and another close friend of BOs, ridiculed Hillary Clinton? This brand of misogyny is only the tip of the iceburg if Barack Obama is elected POTUS. Women’s rights are so low on the totem pole of this junior senator’s agenda, a BO Presidency will be akin to women stepping back in history 50 years–or worse.

We need look no further than BO’s refusal to even consider HRC as his VP choice to get an accurate picture of how this Manchurian Candidate feels toward women and their accomplishments. HRC’s 18,000,000 votes were trumped by Joe Biden’s measily 8000 in the eyes of Barack Obama who wanted nothing to do with furthering the political advancement of women in our society.

It took a lot of courage on John McCain’s part to brook the opposition of many in his own party by selecting Sarah Palin as the first Republican female VP. The maverick is an advocate of women’s rights. He walks the walk unlike BO who is nothing but a one trick pony with an empty speech.

We will remember on November 4th, 2008.

Great post Uppity. Thank you.

To any 40 or fiftysomething mother: I want them to think how will they feel when their daughters are grabbed and sexually harrassed by male coworkers or bosses, and when they (daughter or mother)complain/report they will be laughed at because that will be considered “acceptable behavior” under an Obama regime.
Let’s don’t take our rights for granted!

I did a follow up post that you can read at http://tdg.typepad.com/heidi_lis_potpourri/2008/10/free-speech-jayz-is-definitely-what-is-called-for—will-you-please-let-senator-obama-know.html

It ends as follows, and I am hoping people really do act:

“I am serious. Tell Senator Obama that you expect him to take this opportunity to show us that realizes what misogyny is or is trying to learn to, and that he will dedicate himself to fighting it in all its forms.

You can contact the Obama campaign online or at (866) 675-2008 or by mail…”

I would bet when we hear the whole story on the young lady last nite with the B on her face we will hear a differnt story….She is suposed to be from Texas working for McCain. Now her mother was there too they are reporting. This smells real bad………

Obama revealed in his autobiography that the male role-models in his young life had sexist views. I’m not surprised that he grew up to have the same attitudes toward women.

His muslim stepfather told Obama that soft hearts were good for women, but a man needed to have more sense. (p.39)
The white grandfather would take his 12 year old grandson to a favorite bar in Honolulu’s red-light district, without his grandmother’s knowledge. There he would look at the pornographic art on the walls. When they visited the man who would become his mentor, Frank Davis, the talk of the men would turn to laments about women. That was after they would get his help in composing dirty limericks. (p.77)

If you haven’t read his first book, you should. It’s an eye-opener and a red flag.

Thanks for this. Very well documented.

Slightly off topic- but what do you all think about Palin releasing her medical records ? I am torn over this. On one hand, I want her on the same playing field as the men. (Including Barky. Cough ‘em up Barky. What you hiding!?) On the other hand, she is a 44 year old woman with 5 children. Outside of routine blood work and physicals, her records will be all OB/GYN related. In the tasteless feeding frenzy of the unfair press, I shudder at the thought! Can you imagine the misogyny???????? No woman would ever subject herself to a run for the Whitehouse if it entails a$$hole nutjobs like Keith O pouring over your OB/GYN records.
Ivory Bill Woodpecker

I had to cut the video off at 1:39 before my blood pressure medicine failed. It’s a good thing I quit watching, listening to, or reading the Corporate Media to any significant degree years ago.

To misquote Jefferson, I tremble for my gender when I reflect that God is just.

I did not realize until this year how much misogyny existed among allegedly “liberal”,”progressive” alleged men. Psychologically, misogynistic men are mired in adolescence, no matter how many orbits around the sun they have completed. I did not know how much contempt I was capable of feeling until I learned about these arseholes.

If you thought 1994 was a backlash election year, wait for 2010 and 2012!

my people

Wow.. I must say it’s so sexist to support Palin just because shes a woman, and more-so out of spite over Hillary.

It’s unfortunate that seemingly intelligent women would buy into McSame and this caricature of everything Hillary stood for.

Picture this.

You: ultra competetent, a go-getter, a workhorse for your company for decades. You are the person other people come to when they need things to happen.

There’s a vacancy in the company, and you are imminently qualified. Not only does a less qualified man get the job, but everybody around you calls you “slut whore cunt” etc constantly — to your face, and laughs while they do it. A bunch of guys get together and ask you to strip off your clothes for them — all in good fun, of course though they would never do this if you were a man.

How do you feel?

Does “disappointed” adequately convey your thoughts?

Jesus, you’re a fucking idiot.
CandyCane

If the past does not matter to you, then logically sexism cannot exist — because sexism depends upon patterns of behavior which can only be found by examining last week, last month, last year, last century.

You are an idiot.
Leisa

It’s me again thinks it matters.

I figured that. It was way too bizarre of a scenario. She stands there while he carves away, in front of an ATM?
