Real Misogyny: Debunking the War on Women

[TemplarKormac]

Stop for a moment and tell me if you haven't heard this line before: "Republicans are misogynists, they hate women and want to deprive them of choice." More often than not, that is what the liberal left will employ as their "war on women" strategy. Come to hear it from them, you'd think women in America are treated incredibly poorly by Republicans and have no opportunities or choices in this, the land of "freedom." Believe me, they have it far better off here than in any other place in the world, especially in the Middle East. It is saddening to see how women in Islamic "Honor Based" societies for example, are being treated.

Hence this documentary film, dubbed "Honor Diaries," which was released on March 8, 2014; by producer Paula Kweskin. It shows of how in these Middle Eastern honor societies, women are treated as chattel; beaten, lashed, or killed for so much as wearing the wrong type of clothing, showing their faces or driving; things most women here take for granted.

Since 1989, according to UN statistics, somewhere around 125 million women and girls have had their genitalia mutilated, some of them are married off before the age of 18, to elderly men. More than 5,000 of them (a whole lot more given that a lot of them are undocumented) are killed in honor killings for branching out in the Islamic faith. Some in the Democratic party think women have it rough in America... they would have you to believe that Conservative Republicans must absolutely abhor women.

They have no idea. None. Not one inkling of a clue of how women are so badly mistreated in the name of Islam, in the Middle East. The things that go on there are a form of institutionalized misogyny, none of which are seen here or perpetrated by anyone here in America. These usurpations of women's rights in Islam go unanswered stateside, but the real travesty is that people remain far too ignorant of this issue. Democrats might wish to take care before calling anyone a misogynist. They have no clue what a real misogyny is like. At all. They don't realize how readily the men in these honor based societies discriminate or perpetuate vicious forms of bigotry against women.

Women should be offended by the fact that they are used as political pawns in a seriously misinformed game of politics, as weapons against another political party in the United States. Women are blessed here in America, not to be subjects of the kind of violence against women in the Middle East, to have the rights and freedoms that so many overseas are deprived of daily. The real "war on women" is being perpetrated far from our borders. Whereas, the war on women here in America only exists as a figment of imagination in the minds of far left Democrats or overzealous liberals too hyped up on talking points to pay any attention to these tragic injustices being played out against women in Islamic honor based societies; more focused on vilifying their opponents for nonexistent transgressions against women. Lets face facts, there is no war on women. Not in America, anyhow.

Women, homosexuals, the "poor", so many different demographics serve the liberal agenda as victims. Shame is, so many appear so incapable of independent thought, they fall into the trap and become useful tools.

How odd that they all have the same victimizes, heterosexual men.

Just to clarify, you are stating that the war on women in the US is not occurring because women are mistreated in the Middle East. Yes?

I always thought the "war on women" was a big stretch. The phrase was pure partisan BS on the part of democrats. I don't think male republicans in congress hate women or want to oppress them. I just think they simply don't care about women. I think they care more about putting their own partisan bullshit ahead of any female issues. They entertain female issues when it suits them.

Why don't you kill yourself since you obviously hate yourself so much?

Yes. That is what he is saying. It is the same logic he uses to proclaim that gay people are not discriminated against here......as we don't execute them.

He's a fucking scholar. The rest of us are simply swimming in shallow water. We cannot reach his depth.

What they don't care about is providing people with government goodies simply because they have the correct genitilia.

Nice. So, no myths have been debunked by a comparison.

It smacks of wife beatin' logic.

Tell me why is it that repubs don't get up in arms about Viagra being a "government goodie"?

Abortion restrictions took many forms: bans (6 states), waiting periods (3 states), ultrasound 5 states), insurance coverage (3 states joined the existing 5 with such restrictions), clinic regulations (4 states), medication abortion (7 states).

Georgia State Representative Bobby Franklin has introduced a bill that would not only make abortion illegal but would make miscarriages illegal.

Yup, that's where he's going.

That's the new thing with Christian Zealots. "Well, I'm trying to impose on your rights, but just be glad I'm not chopping off your head or mutilating your gentials like the Muslim would."

As though that makes Christian Zealotry acceptable.

Here's a concept for Muslims and Christians. Keep your fucking Bronze Age Sky Pixie in your churches and mosques and shut the fuck up.

Women, homosexuals, the "poor", so many different demographics serve the liberal agenda as victims. Shame is, so many appear so incapable of independent thought, they fall into the trap and become useful tools.

How odd that they all have the same victimizes, heterosexual men.

Women never got pounded on by men
Gay people never got pounded on by men
Black people never got pounded on by men
Native Americans never got pounded on by men

And then we wake up and realise it was all a nice dream where everyone's happy, but reality is so different for some people.

There is a big problem with those who bully, they simply can't accept that they are bullies. You can even see people who come on here and spend their whole time insulting, it's how they function in the world.

Surely an educated society should have got past this, but the problem is, even educated people like to pound on others. Isn't they why some people become politicians?

 

[TemplarKormac]

So... it appears I've struck a nerve. Not one liberal here is willing to admit this is true. So, do women have it so bad here, as compared to there? Why is it you use these imagined plights of women here stateside to politically bludgeon your opponents? Hmm? Yes, yes, there are beaten and battered women here in America, but the men responsible are punished. Of course, men are guilty of raping women in America, but they are also caught and punished. In these honor societies, it's not only permitted but encouraged by the male half of that culture. Why are you ignoring the real crisis going on overseas? To women of all people? Where is your outrage now? Is it because the people actually mistreating women, the actual misogynists are not those evil Conservative Republicans?

Stop. No, you never were outraged, never have been. It's all false, and nothing but hypocrisy. Women in America are treated with far more respect and dignity than anywhere else in the world, and you have the unmitigated gall to play politics with the actual tragedies that happen to other women around the world. I don't know what to say. And yes, I'm angry, very angry. Women here in America have far more choices and far more freedom, yet to hear some say it, they are treated badly, to the point of being robbed of their lives and their choices.

Spare me.

Yet oddly, as much as he wants to be a "Crusader", the guy never signed up for the military to "liberate" people from Islam.

Okay, let's get real here. Genital Mutiliation is a horrible thing, and no religion condones it. It is actually a cultural thing in some regions of the world, that if a woman can't enjoy sex, she won't cheat on her husband. And yes, while mostly performed by muslims, some Coptic Christians in North Africa also practice it.

It's a barbaric mentality, but no less misogynist than getting on Talk Radio and screaming a young woman is a "slut" and a "prostitute" because she expects birth control to be part of the health insurance she paid for along with her $30,000 tuition.

They aren't AMericans, therefore they aren't my problem.

Also, I don't think you understand what a "crisis" is.

This custom, while barbaric, has been going on for hundreds of years. There is no crisis.

But your bizarre mentality that a woman should tolerate being called a "slut" because she wants to pick the time when she gets pregnant, because, gosh darn, at least we aren't strapping you down and mutilating your pussy like those bad old Muslims.

 

[strollingbones]

sexual mutilation is wrong on any level......


so is outlawing miscarriage.....

Women generally have it better the more educated and liberal the country. Scandinavian countries and Germanic countries probably treat women with far more respect than other countries.

I lived in Spain 10 years back and they had a massive TV news campaign against men who beat on their wives and killed them. It happened a lot, and every time it happened they put it on the national news so people would know about it.

It's not necessarily about what political party you support, whether you beat on women.
