The Anti-Woman Playbook

Why I am so sick of Liberal Dude Nation

Women need not apply

If you are a woman and want to run for public office save yourself a lot of trouble and just stay home. That is the message that is coming out of Washington, that is the message coming out of the Republican Party and most significantly out of the DEMOCRATIC Party. Political parties want your money but they don't want your opinion or your face messing up their party posters (unless you are hott, but don't want to hold office). They want your uterus locked down and tied up only to be used for their party's gain.

Organizations like NOW or Emily's List aren't for woman either. If you have one ovary out of line with them then WHAM BAM THANK YOU MAM they will support whatever male candidate opposes you with a D beside his name.

I would imagine that NOW and Emily's list will be pretty bored during the election season of 2010 because EVERY SINGLE FRICKEN DEMOCRATIC WOMAN IN THE HOUSE VOTED FOR THE HEALTH CARE BILL WITH THE STUPAK AMENDMENT IN IT. Even Queen of Pro-Choice Louise Slaughter did. So what are they going to do with all of their free time this election season? Well it seems that they will support men. They are doing it with Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas.

Women are not important to these organizations, and it seems they never have been. They both need a name change: NOW should be NOWWSM [National Org of Women Who Support Men] and Emily's List should be Emily's List of Men. If you are a woman who financially supports these organizations you will be better off just handing your money to whatever guy is running for office...cuz eventually they will hand it off to him anyway. You can cut out the middle-woman.

Girl Power Sunday

This is Raven. She is one of the super teens in the cartoon Teen Titans which shows up every so often on Cartoon Network. I was a tremendous fan of the show a few years ago. I even went to a Puffy Ami Yumi concert in Boston when they were here in the US (they sing the theme song for Teen Titans). What interests me in Raven is that she is the epitome of teen angst. She struggles with her inner demons and works with her team diligently to better society. All the while knowing that she her destiny is to harm mankind in the end. She is trying to do good in the world as much as possible before her day of reckoning comes. In Raven we can see a bit of ourselves as teens; full of self-doubt and internal conflict. I admire that the writers keep her as a positive strong character and don't over sexualize her. She is the goth chick.

I was watching Bill Moyer on PBS this morning and will comment on the show in a future blog. Today, however, I visited the following places:

Hudson Reporter - talks about a 14 year-old young woman who has created a monologue on Barbie's (the doll, of course) perceived perfection.

The Miami Herald - talks about a program for at risk teen girls in Miami-Dade county.

Well that is it. I will be relishing in every moment of this last weekend before my children go back to school. The weather here is great! Have a wonderful Labor Day all!

Peace.

Where is the outrage?

I was told about this incident the other day and have to ask the people who were witnesses to this horrific crime in front of Medgar Evers College where is their outrage?

A video of the occurrence and a transcript of what happened to a woman who was attacked and shot by her husband in broad daylight can be found here. If this woman had been attacked by a man in uniform, then we would see equal rights groups pounding the pavement screaming for justice. But this is a domestic violence dispute, so there lies the quagmire. Did she ask for this? She is married to the perp so did she deserve this? Why is it that whenever this happens to a woman who is in a relationship with the perp that it is just swept under the rug or ignored completely by society. When this woman's husband was threatening her, those within her reach turned a blind eye...didn't want to get involved or help her. It wasn't until she was bleeding on the pavement with bullets in her back did someone call 911 and stay by her side.

Why can't there be outrage? Especially outrage from the men in their community.
