Why Do Women Get Their Asses Kicked? Feminism, Of Course

OK, the tsunami of getting the kids up, cleansed, fed, and off to school has me all muddled. Is that why I can make neither heads nor tails of this NRO piece (courtesy of Salon's Broadsheet)?

If I understand this correctly (re: Chris Brown and Rihanna), the 'argument' is that feminism has deprived women of their supposed 'special status' in society (cuz pre-bra burning, women were never brutalized), such that men don't know how to behave (i.e. maybe hitting women is ok?)

According to Kathryn Jean Lopez, the editor of NRO, "There's something off when so many people blame the victim, not the aggressor."

Hmmm. Might that 'something' be sexism? As Theodoric of York would conclude: Naaaaah.

If you want to understand how people who have sold their souls to a particular way of making a living live with themselves, read those links.

I so wanted to argue, but.....

.....but the NRO writer doesn't even make an argument to rebutt. That is truly one of the more bizarre attempts at writing that I have ever encountered.

Huh???

I completely with Lizzy G, that article was off the wall. The author packed as many strange suppositions in that thing as she could fit. Somehow feminism is responsible for emasculating an entire generation while simultaneously creating hordes of lesbians. Why are so many women switching teams these days? Might be because we aren't locking them up in institutions for doing it anymore. Why do men beat women? Because they are violent assholes. Say what you will, but there were violent assholes hanging around the globe long before feminism came around. Feminism (and any civil rights struggles like it) has helped to keep women safer.

Feminism is really self-hatred by women

Ribbitt you are ALL wrong. Feminism?. Women want to have it both ways especially on-the-job.. You don't want to be equal, you have to be SUPERIOR THEN, when you screw-up, you want to HIDE behind "I'm just a girl".
Example: Shirley, a manager at our bank who was basically given the position over other qualified women, was at a meeting concerning some serious data processing issues (not meeting deadlines, It was quite technical, which Shirley wasn't (she always felt she didn't need to learn it no matter the offers to do so). It was a roundtable, so eventually, her turn came to speakl. When she did, this is what erupted...."WELL, I think if all our employees wore TIES in the computer room, we would be more professional!". There was a silence, with most men choosing to hold their tongues, except one. Jim uttered what all we "cowards" felt however.

"Do YOU (Shirley) KNOW why we don't wear ties in the computer room?. Because the last guy who wore one in there, got it caught in one of the roll printers and actually was injured by it". He wasn't condemning verbally calling her stupid, but he wasn't going to let her be an irritating distraction to a serious think-tank situation without a challenge. Her response?. Instead of realizing she'd made a stupid, UNINFORMED comment, Shirley actually said "You're putting me down because I'm a woman". Now there was some mumbling around the room and the chair, Bill asked for us all to move on. Shirley hadn't finished unfortunately. She remarked about how WE (men) were out to get her and just didn't want her in the good ole' boys club. Bill the chair, responded with "Calm Down Shirley, if you have a problem we will discuss it in private after the meeting". OH NO, she was definately not through. She was going to let us ALL know how she really wasn't "appreciated" (can we say, her feelings of inadequacy/I'm just a girl" were showing?). FINALLY, Bill, realizing this was way out-of-hand, called the meeting, and asked Shirley to see him privately.

The culmination of this was that Shirley 1)Didn't calm down 2)Bill finally had enough and sent her home for the day 3)The bank reluctantly agreed, and fired her. She tried to sue for discrimination but her case was dismissed for lack of merit.

Lesson. Women, trying to be one of The Boyz still expect to be treated like the delicate "kid sister" and given a pass. Feminism has taught women that they're just as good as men at what men do, experience non-wistanding. That the job is an entitlement regardless of whether she (thinks) she's competent for it or not.

In personal relationships, women have the idea they MUST be the boss, can change their minds on-the-fly, feel their way thru (emotionally rather than analytically), OR outright tell-a-lie and be given a pass. WOE to the man who, after waiting for a straight "Yes or NO answer" only to be given a wandering, incoherent diatribe, decides on dinner. WOE to the man who actually tells his galfriend/wife "Stop nagging".

Femiinism is about competition in a relationship, NOT cooperation/mutual respect. She who must be obeyed. The Bible warns us about a "contentious woman". Also about a "gossip". There's nothing crazier than a bunch of women on the job site, who getting together, convince themselves that something is TRUE, when there's absolutely zero PROOF/evidence of it happening. I've had male friends, HELL I've been accused of things I did when I didn't even WORK that night.

Women are ruled by feelings which is why God HIMSELF designed her to stand beside man/raise children NOT dominate over him either. Feminism has taught women however that they do not NEED a man for anything other than breeding purposes and that could even come from a lab!. Damn me for believing artificial insemination is personally revolting in the animal kingdom much less for HUMANITY.

What's the result?. Broken families, kids being denied a committed mother-father, 2-parent household, crime, illiteracy, disease. YEA, feminism is about Princess Perfect getting HER way at all times. Feminism from the Gloria Steinem NOW is basically about selfishness. IT has also been an excuse for women adopting an irresponsible, WHORISH attitude toward sex. "I can be a whore, BUT you better not call me that YOU MAN".

AND why is this?. Because women actually have been mislead to believe there's something WRONG with being a goodly person of the female sex. Feminism is really about "self-hatred" blaming the MAN for ALL their shortcomings. That their feelings always must be respected while trouncing on everyone else's (Men, Women, and Children alike).

BUT the biggest problem with Feminism is it's REBELLION against God. Today's Feminism iis therefore SIN. And the wages of SIN are always death, even if it's a living "death" of one's inner piece and happiness and making everyone around them miserable. Couples really DO need to go to "The Word" and to seek God's wisdom OR they're headed for disastor.

BTW, one more point about the "lesbianism" aspect whcih refutes the whole "He/She was born gay" hypothisis. I've had several acquaintances with declared "lesibans" over the years. The common thread amongst them ALL were this 1)They were VERY promiscuous with boys at a young age (No they were not raped, unless you call it statutory). They were looking for love/appreciation/attention/rebelling against parents, whatever, only to wind-up with further feelings of resentment. It was ALL men's fault. I had one even tell me SHE "hated we men because of that "THING" we had between our legs". (That's what her lesbian circle had taught her). Oh yea, she CHOSE to be Lesiban, NOT that it chose her.

Well, guess what, I'll call her Sharon, wound up getting murdered by her JEALOUS "butch" lover, at a bar?. Lesbian and gay domestic disturbances are often MUCH more violent than hetero fights. This was collaborated by a couple of friend's who are cops.
Now you can just call them flatfoots BUT they fear going into a same-sex call more than even a woman-man brawl.

To be QUEER is a deep disturbance of one's soul, the ultimate REBELLION against God.
AND like ALL sin, can be justified in "man's/woman's" eyes but not in the Almighty's.

Feminism is not new. It is as old as time immortal, going back to the "Lillith Lie" in Jewish Mysticism. THe belief that Adam's first wife "refused" to lay with him, resulting in her destruction by an unjust "man" god who then tried again with a subserviant "Eve".

Wow, anonymous dude. You

Wow, anonymous dude.

You take how one single woman behaves and generalize that to the entire gender?!

You are simply not capable of reason. No offense but you have a mental defect. Thank goodness people like you are no longer running the world. Hopefully your world-view will die with you, although I suspect there is a genetic component to it, and I also suspect you have no idea what I am talking about.
