Merriam told Megyn Kelly that she was always a Christian and that she gave birth in shackles.
The imaginary “War on Women” that is supposed to be waged upon the female gender by the Republican party is another of those lies, that repeated frequently enough, results in a total distortion of reality and any degree of polite conversation that may have existed.
A very real “War on Women” has been going on for centuries, if not since the dawn of time, and it traces back to a very wrong view of how religion should be practiced. Women, after all, are the mothers of every one of us, and for better or worse, each of us has been born of and nurtured in some manner or another by some member of the female gender.
There is a line in the “Cowboy Code”, which admonishes us, “Don’t shoot the girl”, a gentlemanly gesture that respects females for BEING females. Of course, when the girl shoots at you first, that changes the equation a little, but normally girls have to be vastly provoked to be driven to shooting first. Usually they slip the guy a little poison.
The female gender is quite different from the male gender, literally in every cell of their bodies. By artificial manipulation, some of the basic characteristics of one gender may be imposed upon the other, but only to the greater harm to both.
The Islamic ideology (not really a religion in any sense of the word) has turned biology and history upon its head, and imposed a status upon females that effectively render them to be slaves, subject to the will of the “Strongman” in their lives, be it the father, the betrothed husband, the brothers, or any of the male offspring. When a female escapes from this bondage, she is hunted down and in every way that may be brought to bear, she is humiliated, disgraced, oppressed, and eventually murdered by some means. No reprieve, no mercy, and in many instances, no recourse for the many injustices visited upon her. Various tyrannies in the history of mankind have imposed just this kind of subjugation upon the “weaker” sex, to their own eventual peril.
Even in that great paragon of idealism, the nation once known as “the United States of America”, women’s rights as fully functioning human beings was not realized at the beginning. But gradually, the bonds were loosened, and today the female gender is offered greater freedom of thought and conscience in most of what are considered to be the Western representative republican democracies than anywhere in the so-called “Third World”.
But the freedom to revert to the old ways is always available to the women of the world. And unbelievably, some of them really DO choose that personal oppression.
Low self-esteem, I guess. Otherwise why would ANY female willingly marry a mean, nasty brute? And end up murdering him while he slept?
