Quoted in entirety, because every single line is equally terrible and deserves to be saved forever.
| Quote | I watched the premier of "Lipstick Jungle" last night. It looks like another one of those flicks where the power hungry liberated women do anything necessary to decimate their male counterparts. Shoot, the men these days might as well sit back and let the women take over...heck, we'll probably even elect a woman President come November.
Here's a Salvo aricle on the media's attack on masculinity.
I don't know...maybe the average man just doesn't care about wearing the pants in the family anymore...perhaps strong women turn them on, and they don't have a problem living with a dominant woman. Maybe in a couple decades or so, we'll have a bunch of stay home Dads, or worse yet, maybe men will just evolve themselves out of existence! |
Oh, shit! Non-servile women! Call the press!
Actually, it's something weird. I generally think the US of A (slash world) right now is more sexist than it is racist, but a majority chunk of the anti-Hillary sexism (and if FtK's post isn't that, I don't know what is) I've seen this election cycle is actually from deeply religious women. I'm running on a small sample (ie personal experience), but I think it's a genuine effect. However, what it actually represents, I suspect, is that women feel they have more of a free social pass to be cunts about other women, whereas men are more likely to actually be challenged. For instance, the sentence preceding this one would have been slightly less offensive if I were female.
... I also happen to hate Hillary as a politician and the feminist movement's current fawning over her, but that's a separate issue. I should stick to commenting on one Hillary-related phenomenon at a time. |
You mean you don’t remember all that “She’s First Lady but not acting like a lady,” yawping from the Right during Billy’s first term?
I’ve known a number of stay-at-home dads. They’re nothing to be frightened of – no more than those male penguins in March of the Penguins guarding the egg which, as I recall, some ID folks took as evidence of “design.” 
That said, there is the type of woman who overcompensates and is too aggressive, and thatt comes out in Hellary’s voice. “I do not have good relations” with that type, and I don’t want to spend the next 4 or 8 years listening to her (please no). Yes, some women who sport “Hillary” stickers conform to a certain stereotype and I confess I snicker about it. But she’s irritating for the same reason that it’s irritating in a man – loud, searing voice that reminds me of a table saw. (Rev. Barky mutes the radio when she comes on and does a good imitation of her.)
