You know, I've been a member of FR since before the 2000 election. I have not always agreed with the posts of the male-dominated membership in FR, but I have appreciated the positions of each and every one of you. But it has become very clear to me during this 2004 campaign why many women cannot embrace the conservative and/or Republican agenda. I have been since Nixon, and will remain one despite the predominance of the sexist condescension of a large group of Republican men. So let's get down to the bare bones of the situation, okay? And I really couldn't care less about the flames and insults that the lower domination of the FR membership will inflict on me for this little tirade of mine. There are so, so many women just like me who fervently believe in the ideals of the Republican and George W. Bush. We may recognize the lack of a female perspective in some issues, but we grasp the overall concept and recognize it as our own core values. We have basically learned to pick our battles. We share the views of conservative men in regards to our need for a superior military defense, a belief in the need for personal accountability and responsibility, a eff-you attitude towards our former French and Canadian and other similar so-called "allies," a need to defy the wimpy attitudes of those utopian countries who are in total denial about the condition of the world today and the necessarily severe actions necessary to ensure the survival of a righteous and moral world. We're out here, guys, and we feel just as strongly about these values as you do even if we don't feel the need to express them with your chest-beating and neverending pissing contests.
So in the midst of your extemely intelligent, compassionat idealogy, the less evolved of you start spouting your sexist and primate idealogy that becomes such a total turn-off to so many women who believe in your core values. Why do most women vote liberal? Because so many men are so busy being macho that they refus to embrace a woman's perspective on issues. You won't deter me or a very, very large group of women just like me. We are a very large and growing block of voters, and to grow that base, you need to recognize our different perspectives on the same core values. Stop pushing us away, and embrace our contributions. We are not so different, only the way God intends us to be. There's a reasons for differences, and they are for the greater good.
So hit me with your best shot. I will probably never post here again. And know this: I believe in George W. Bush, and will always be a conservative woman, although I'll probably be searching for another venue to share my beliefs.
the liberal men are not sexist?
what about hugh hefner.
and bill clinton.
Where have you been on FR that you have been insulted by overt machoism?
I rarely see that expressed on Free Republic and just cannot agree with your assessment of freepers in general.
In fact, I think we may well have more female freepers than male.
I'm a woman on FR and have no idea what you're talking about. I've never been treated badly, except by one troll who was immediatey booted from the forum.
Can you be more specific?
I might take your arguments more seriously if you had made some.
She's not talking about liberal men.
You got that "straw man" thing going on.
But I am having a hard time getting a handle on just what it is that offends you? Please elaborate. Thank you!
the only man in here i have a problem with is stentor. Oh yes, I hold grudges.
Other than that, I do not have any problems with any men in here.
in fact, historically speaking, i am more likely to get involved in conflicts with members of the same sex.
How do you know the sex of anyone on this board who doesn't reveal his or her sex, and even then, they might be, as anywhere on the Internet, making it up? As far as I'm concerned 60 percent of posters here could be female.
See you next week!
I'm a woman and have never felt mistreated here.
Of course, I agree with the guys, so..
What are you trying to say?
and your point is,
Given your cognizance....good riddance.
she was talking about how women are repuslsed by sexism in the republican party (ie conservative men). The only two major parties are the democratic (liberal men)and the republican.
so therefore, it made sense to ask what would attract women to guys on the left like b. clinton (since he is a sexist jerk)
There are a few I refuse to post to because they're flaming idiots, but they're like that with men too so I don't take it personally.
"Consertive" - is that "concerned" and "assertive"? Are you objecting to the incessant 'pictures!' demand that comes up on the Fox News female anchor threads and others, or was this prompted by a personal insult to you on another thread?
What sexist condescension, honey?
I'm a conservative woman who has been on FreeRepublic since 1998. The difference between you and me is that I understand that everybody's sense of humor is different. There are posts I think are hysterical and others I think are juvenile. WHAT THE HECK DO I CARE? I come here, get my news, let off steam and connect with others who have the same political ideals as I do. By the way, there are many, many women here. More than I think you know.
the less evolved of you start spouting your sexist and primate idealogy
Please give some examples of this. Thank you.
