Of course the antithesis of this is that non-Subservient "Rosie O'Donnell" type Women Doom Societies. Or at least decrease the desire for procreation in the male species.

Keeping women veiled and walking three feet behind a man with no voice, vote, or murdering them before they have a chance to breathe, dooms the society they could have contributed to and condemns the men that perpetuate those philosophies. A 21st Century Society that punishes women by relegating them to a subservient role deserves neither the woman or the future they could have created.
Whether it's Christianity, Islam, Catholocism, or Libertarians, Democrats, and Republicans, religions and political systems that attempt to keep women marginalized will ultimately fail. If the 21st Century is anything, it is the Woman's Century. The basis for my statement should be obvious to any one who can step back from the machine guns or out of the bars long enough to look. The evidence is simply overwhelming...

Is there nothing women can’t do? /s
I guess we’re not as doomed as we think. ;)
Don’t forget genital mutilation, which they have given the PC term of female circumcision.
Write her name in the snow?
Relativsm at work. Only one religion subjugates it's women to such a degree, and we all know which one.
Write their names in the snow without leaving footprints?
Our braying, screeching, homegrown, PC harpies are doing a pretty damned good job of destroying our culture.
If this is true then why didn’t human civilization fall 6,000 years ago? My goodness, how did us silly men ever get the world started without the help and guidance of feminazis like Bella (there’s a misnomer of a first name!) Abzug, Suzy Anthony, and Steinem?
“Relativsm at work. Only one religion subjugates it’s women to such a degree, and we all know which one.”
Is it the Buddhists? :P
Be a pitcher instead of a catcher :)
Ya’ll let me know when I need to ping the Wimmen R’ Evil group.
“..or murdering them before they can breathe...”
Okay, you just admitted abortion is murder, in case you didn’t catch yourself you liberal nutjob you.
And you have also laid a foundational premise that there are instances when abortion is WRONG! If it’s a girl and the mom or dad doesn’t want a girl and wants an abortion, that is WRONG! What if they didn’t want a boy, would that be wrong too? What if they already had a girl and they wanted a boy this time? Would that be okay or would it be ‘murder’? What if the mom wants a boy? Is she a murderer?
You see the hypocrisy and the thin veneer that exists for the pro-abort crowd here. They get pissed off and cry foul if you don’t abort for the reasons THEY think are the right ones. We throw their arguments back in their fat hypocrite faces: It’s none of your business, it’s not a baby so it’s not murder, it’s not a person so what do you care, it just a medical procedure like taking out an appendix, their body, their choice, who are you to say your cultural values are better than theirs, you’re imposing your morals on them and that’s wrong!
Friggin liberal hypocrites. “It’s life when we want it to be life, otherwise it isn’t.” They want to be GOD. They are not God. Pissy little hypocrites.
5,4,3,2.....
What leftist journalists really seek to do is denegrate Christianity whenever possible.
They do it, as you have pointed out, by lumping all groups together as equally culpable, when there is one in the list that does just what they say.
But, in all seriousness, they HAVE to do this. Because to point out that one group, religion, or culture is more oppressive than another would be violating their 1st commandment requiring indiscriminateness.
So does setting them free.
Yes, the degradation and “chattel” status of women in islam is unequivocally wrong and to be condemned by the civilized world. That being said, it is foolish to fail to see the damage that has come about to our once-great society, nation and culture because of the equal, but more insidious, influence of having overly feminized everything of importance.
Nice rant. I agree with you.
Abortion is THE quintessential “liberal” issue,
because it uses force to make the MOST innocent pay for, with its very life, the consequences of sexual behaviorial choices.
Nothing could sum up a “liberal” more than this.
Liberalism only promotes freedom when it comes to sexual matters - all other matters are strictly controlled.
Liberalism, at its core, is about using force to make those who are innocent or make good decisions pay for the consequences of those that make bad decisions.
Keeping women veiled and walking three feet behind a man with no voice, vote, or murdering them before they have a chance to breathe
Islam and abortion-—the evil twins -right on that
But including Christianity with that sordid mix is just pandering to the secularists.
It’s a comin’,
just a few more posts!!

I wonder how he reconciles this with the fact that Victorian British society was the most successful one on the earth during its time period?
“Write her name in the snow?”
She can if she uses someone else’s “pen.”
just a few more posts!!
Do you hear the beating of the Neanderthal drums off in the distance? ;-)
Yet another misogynist thread on FR. But God forbid we start a thread and say crap like this about men!!!
I suspect Dan is afraid of his wife.
Yeah,

Chant was getting hard to miss.
And then there's Maude!
I just say, Embrace Your Inner Elvira ;)
Well said. The British Empire endured for as long as it did due to demography, and also its adherence to protection of property and the rule of law. Voting rights for anybody (let alone women) came a distant 100th on the list
Are you saying that the Brits in the Victorian era treated their women like Muslims treat theirs? That's news to me.
Cato the Elder, speech in the Roman Senate in 195 BC
“Woman is a violent and uncontrolled animal... If you allow them to achieve complete equality with men, do you think they will be easier to live with? Not at all. Once they have achieved equality, they will be your masters.”
Yep! Great civilizations don’t treat women badly but they don’t care about nonsense such as “gender equity” either.
News for Cato -
they ARE your masters.
They control everything - half the money and all the...ahem.
I think he was just responding to the silly column which precipitated this thread. Read it and you can see how shallow and PC it is.
I WANT that Wimmen R Evil list! :-D
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
(Using this is a photo op for my favorite GB/300 pic ;) )
...exactly as putting them in positions for which they're horribly underqualified does...such as in the House, Senate or Oval Office.
On it’s way to ya hun.
I think that is what he was talking about! :)
Well,
you’d have half the ahem if you knew what to do with it!
If Brits in the Victorian Era were as bad as Muslims, the era wouldn’t be named for Queen Victoria.
There are no modern and really no prior female Muslim monarchs. Democratically elected leaders of the past 40 years not included.
Spartan women were considered by all other Greeks to be scandalously free.
All Greek societies had lots of slaves. One of the things that set the Spartans apart was that their slaves were almost all Greeks. Other Greek cities mostly enslaved foreigners.
Bossy women don’t exactly make life pleasant, either.
So having intown slaves was better than having outsider slaves?
(Note to self: tread carefully. I’m outnumbered). :-)
No....but at the same time, the Victorians weren't exactly "progressive" or "feminist" on the issue of women's rights, either. My point is that there is not necessarily a correlation between how "moral" or "successful" a society is, and how much political and social freedom it affords its women. Victorian Britain didn't let women vote (until way late, at least), nor did it afford them a number of other "freedoms" which women take for granted in the West today. It would be a highly patriarchal society compared with us today. Yet, in many ways it was more civilised than we are today.
Shoot, we always look to Athens as an example of freedom, and we would say that classical Athens was lightyears ahead of the Muslim world in terms of ethics, morals, and civilisation. Yet, women in Athens had basically NO freedoms whatsoever, and weren't even allowed to leave the house in most cases.
The Muslim world is backwards - but not because it doesn't fulfill the feminists' ideal dreamworld.
Most Greeks thought there was something unhealthy about holding fellow Greeks in slavery. It happened in all cities, but they weren’t particularly proud of it. Slavery was considered more appropriate for inferior barbarians.
Sparta’s entire economy and society was based on uniquely oppressive enslavement and abuse of fellow Greeks, whose only difference from the Spartans was that their ancestors had lost a war.
