Original article: Sexism and Sarah Palin

Ladies

It is SO sexist NOT to love Sarah Palin with all your hearts.

You ladies are misogynists if you do not vote for her. NOW.

You can rip on men for not supporting Hillary, but you yourselves now have to show that you are BETTER than nasty ole men and vote Sarah Palin into the White House.

Ain't she so wholesome and lovable???

Subject Heading

he thinks feminism is programming them to hate men, which would explain his problems. If you tell him your experience was different... I think he simply won't believe you.

1. Feminists and American women in geenral seem to ONLY like men who tell them what they want to hear. How much more of a definition of man hatred do you need? It is utter NEGATION of a man to treat him like he is a broken toy. No wonder so many men mistreat women in return.

2. True, I do not believe anything feminists tell me. For one thing their agenda runs counter to mine as a man (regardless of what they profess). For another, 42 years of being steeped in the feminist propaganda-- thanks to the school system, my peers, the media, and ongoing indoctrination by women (and simpering men) around me-- has taught me one thing, the conversation only runs one way. Women benefit, men suffer. Women have a voice, men are to remain silent and compliant. Women are right, men are wrong. SO WRONG.

This attitude offends me to NO END-- which drives me ever more forward until women either SINCERELY cede room to men or until I have drilled by point home and women ADMIT they SINCERELY despise men after all.

3. Problems? you mean if I got laid at will, I would be too soused on sex hormones to ever care how men are mistreated by this society? Talk about an insult.

all I want as a man is to have the SAME freedoms and rights as women do when it comes to sex, procreation, and life in general

Well, you already have it. Just read the constitution and derived legistlation, and please tell me where it says women are entitled to more freedoms and rights than men in the area of sex, procreation and life in general. But then again, you're probably really talking about something else here.

You mean I can marry a woman, do as I please, then initiate divorce and take MY kids and half the house even if I am at fault in the marriage? Hot DAMN!

You mean I can just get knocked up some night to a guy I shove off and forget, bear the child myself, deny him or her a father or mother figure, raise her or him on my beliefs, without the input of anyone else? Cool beans!

You mean I can knock up a chick, then unilaterally decide and then abort her child for her without even telling her about it? Then do the same with another girl? No kidding.

You mean I can sit home all day GRATIFYINGLY taking care of my kids while the wife works. She gladly comes home and I treat her to a nice dinner? She is never resentful that she is away from the kids, in a thankless job, and she is delighted to help support my being a housedaddy? Too AWESOME!

You mean I can sit in a bar, get free drinks from admiring women all night long, have them flirt and talk me up, try to take me home while I do NOT SO MUCH AS A SINGLE GODDAMN THING, and I can blow them off at will, for kicks? Another night, I can choose from several female suitors, who will do all the work while I lay there like a dead fish? They will then call me again wanting to treat me to nice dinners? Where DO I SIGN UP???

You mean I could wear provocative clothing that made me feel sensual and sexy and powerful, that flowed and was sheer and that women swooned at me wearing? Suhweet!

You mean I could secretly pull the strings of all the women around me, using my wiles and accepted cultural powers, then deny it all, throw my hands up in the air, and declare that WOMEN are the root of all problems? Not only all of MY problems, but all of the WORLD'S problems? I could then act resentful to the women around me, while I pretend to be mature, but really act like a spoiled seven year old? And women STILL chase after me, flaunting their money and other treats? You're putting me on.

I'm sure there are more points. I've only touched on a few general ones.
