Sorry, Tina Brown, but feminism is already dead. And I say, “You’re welcome.” As perpetual children, you self-avowed feminists may not thank us yet. You may continue to stomp and whine and throw your little tantrums, petulantly holding your mouths closed to the icky vegetables known as truth, personal responsibility and self-sufficiency, but one day you will thank us.
See, one day you may live without bitterness and without the irrational feelings of perpetual victim-hood. One day, you too may embrace your gender fully and realize that you already are equal to men. That you are equal, yet different, and that’s a good thing. That will be a nice change, no? Hopeandchange, even!
Tina Brown, the editor of The Daily Beast, spouted her oh-so-insightful and well-thought out ‘conservative women are meany pants and icky’ opinion on Good Morning America today, in a segment discussing the primary wins of many GOP women, including Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina and Nikki Haley, on Tuesday night. I wrote about this yesterday and discussed how the self-avowed “feminists”, also known by me as Femisogynists, were up in arms over these wins.
Like the children that they are, they could only turn to lame attempts to smear conservative women, using Sarah Palin as a scapegoat once again. Geez, lefties. Isn’t it about time you thought of something new? It’s incredibly tiresome. At least try to mix it up a little, keep it interesting? Tina Brown can’t, apparently, as she said this: (Via Newsbusters):
TINA BROWN: Yeah, I mean, it was. I mean, in some ways, it’s, again, representation that people are looking for otherness. You know, they’re so disgusted with incumbents, they’re looking for something completely different. And, as it happens, of course, women usually are seen as, you know, an alternative because many more men are in there. But, actually, the only trouble with this one is, it almost feels as if all these women winning are kind of a blow to feminism. Because, each one of them, really, most of them, are, you know, very much, uh, uh, you know, against so many of things that women have fought for such a long time.
Oh, really? I must inform you, Miss Brown, that I am a woman and these women represent the things that I fight for, as a person. To me, there are no women’s issues. I don’t think women are stupid and, therefore, can only focus on made-up, busy work issues like the nebulous “reproductive rights” and faux environmental issues. Women like me are fighting for smaller government and against a Big Daddy government (we, unlike you, don’t feel as if we need “saving”) . We are fighting for the future of our children, alive and unborn, and we want them to know the America we know. We are fighting for freedom, not relying on protected victim status.
Tina Brown went on to say these two gems:
BROWN: Women, too, can be wing nuts, is the point.
…. What really killed? It was so yesterday. It wasn’t just women. It was rich women. That’s the point.”
Oh, well, wingnutty women and rich women. They don’t count, clearly! I suppose they don’t have estrogen nor female parts? In the minds of the Femisogynist left, that doesn’t matter. You see, it’s never actually about women to them, as I’ve said time and time again. It’s all agenda driven. It’s all a way to perpetuate a victim mentality. It’s all a way to actually subjugate the women with whom the left disagrees, in order to further that agenda.
The leftist agenda, which is the femisogynist agenda, is harmful to all – men and women – but has been particularly harmful to women in one aspect. The pushing of the abortion agenda has done more to harm women and motherhood than anything in recent history. The entire pro-abortion movement has demeaned women by diminishing motherhood to the point that it is considered a punishment and a detriment and that a life itself can be an expendable inconvenience.
The sweetest irony is that Sarah Palin has done more to expose that than anyone else has in a long time. She epitomizes this very fact: Women can, and do, have it all. The only people who think otherwise are, ironically, those who claim to be feminists themselves. Thus, the femisogynist “feminist” movement was hoisted on it’s own petard, by exposing themselves with their own reactions to Palin, among others. People now see them for what they are; agenda pushers who are the antithesis of actual feminism. Here is the difference between Femisogynists and conservative women in a nutshell.
In primaries, female candidates didn’t make gender an issue
With victories by several prominent women in Tuesday’s primary elections came the familiar declarations that a “year of the woman” is underway. But in at least five races, something even more remarkable occurred: The candidates’ gender never became much of an issue.
Because it should not be one. There is no need to constantly bring up gender as if that is why they should win. Conservative women know that. They don’t rely on their gender to somehow protect them nor to get them ahead. They are, you know, grown-ups. They rely on themselves and on the love and support of their families and friends, not the government. They embrace their gender and use its strengths to make them the people that they are. They should, and did, win for those very reasons. They won because of the people that they are and for the policies they will strive to set forth.
I said last week that feminists/femisogynists have hammered the final nail into their own coffin. Tina Brown is merely attending the funeral.

Kryptonite to the Left

These commonsensical individuals bucking the group think and speaking their own minds are very refreshing. Right now its ladies (I use that word on purpose). Just wait till the rank and file Union members start. The Lefty meltdown will be epic.

From ME to You (Diary) Thursday, June 17th at 6:32PM EDT (link)Gender-drive politics is still kicking and screaming in Alameda county
civil truth (Diary) Friday, June 11th at 12:00AM EDT (link)Case in point was the local elecion for Superior Court Judge. The wining judge wrote this damning excerpt in her Candidate Statement:
“Only 29% of the judges currently seving on the Alameda County Superior Court are women, and iti is time for another experienced woman to be added to the court.”
In other words, “vote for me because women are still an oppressed minority on the court, I am a woman, and therefore you need to choose me over my two male opponents to remedy the injustice of this sex imbalance”.
And then this Newspeak kicker at the end:
“Please join the Alameda County Labor Council, California Nurse Association … in voting for a judge with the experience and temperment to be independent and fair.”
Really now.
I voted for the guy who wasn’t on the Planned Parenthood Board of Directors. Unfortunately, 78% of the voters did not agree with me.

The death cries of the "feminists"....
JadedByPolitics (Diary) Friday, June 11th at 7:55AM EDT (link)makes me a HAPPY woman! I have to say that the feminist movement having tagged itself to the Democrats was probably the BIGGEST mistake they made in their short time. If they had remained true to FEMINISM which is to say that women are equal to men but different..AMEN to that!!!….they would have much more clout in 2010 however the TRUTH is N.O.W. etc are dying (squealing) and for EVERY Conservative woman who has ever been demeaned and debased for being Conservative and a woman that is the GOOD NEWS of the day!
I said it last year and I will say it again, Sarah Palin was and has become the face of feminism because she has it all and she has done it with a loving family by her side. The women on the left forgo the men in favor of “proving” their worth but Sarah encompassed the tired old meme and has shown that WE women are at OUR best when OUR men are walking side by side with US

stephaniet Friday, June 11th at 9:08AM EDT (link)These “feminists” are anything but. I usually call them “femi-Nazis,” but “femisogynist” is even more awesome, because that is what they are. They don’t *want* girls to grow up to be ladylike; they want them to be… well, underneath this comment box, it says “No profanity,” so let’s just say it rhymes with witches and starts with the second letter of the alphabet.
Equal to men but different. Love it, because it’s true. If more people believed that, chivalry wouldn’t be gasping out its last.

Feminism is a myth....
jiminga Friday, June 11th at 10:03AM EDT (link)but I confess to “supporting” going braless. Seriously, I am a male veteran of the retail industry having served in merchandising, operations, real estate, and senior management roles. I have never seen an industry as gender neutral as retailing, and I doublt you’ll find an industry with a higher percentage of female managers and executives. I have never witnessed a hiring discussion centered on gender, only on experience and qualifications.
Feminism has been nothing but a liberal attempt to create another class of victims that contains people who choose not to compete on a level playing field. Sure, there may be a glass ceiling in some industries but there are many more where opportunities are equal for both women and men.

Only days into the two-way race for governor, Jerry Brown’s loose lips are already stirring the political pot after he reportedly compared GOP rival Meg Whitman’s campaign with Nazi propaganda.

“Goebbels invented this kind of propaganda,” Sovern reported Brown as saying. “He took control of the whole world. She wants to be president. That’s her ambition, the first woman president. That’s what this is all about.”

Plus a release of some of the tension caused by excessive hate, perhaps the most important of all to those who cling to their sanity by their fingernails.

It has always been known by conservative women...
securitymom (Diary) Friday, June 11th at 11:43AM EDT (link)If you are a conservative female you can’t possibly be intelligent enough to realize that you have been held down by men. That only progressive men (the sensitive male) understands the plight that binds you to a role of fighting for a gender free society. What a bunch of bull.
The great lie that has been perpetrated over and over again is that progressive females are smarter, care more about women and childrens issues, and push foward in education, and corporate positions.
The feminist female has only one criteria, that being abortion. Sarah Palin was not the first, but probably the most stark example. As some were trying desperately to show Sarah as unintelligent, the feminists (with all but a few) were far more malicious than even the progressive (sensitive) male.
The real freedom of women (the real feminist) comes with the reality that it doesn’t matter what role you choose. That life comes with responsibilities, no matter what, and that decisions of life are the most precious, inspiring and powerful that any female is honored to make.
Those are the reasons that so-called feminists oppose conservative women.
