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.
Helllooo?
Are you objecting to things like the "latest tennis babe" threads? You really don't have to read them, you know.
I try to embrace as many women as I can.
Seriously, I don't know how you can tell that this is a "male dominated" forum. Seldom do any posters reveal thier gender. Yes, you can tell the gender of some posters but just today I found out a FReeper was female who I'd always thought was male, based soley on their writing style.
yes, flaming idiocy transcends gender lines and racial lines. It is a global phenomenon!
I believe in equal opportunity insults
I'am sorry, now what were you saying.
I am sure you are trying to make a point but I have no idea what it is.
You Go Girl. I agree. I was mad about that Butt article. Just like I get mad about Neil Cavuto spouting off about how much he loves his college daughter and then slurping like a Monkey over his Victoria Secret footage. You can't be a doting Daddy proud as peaches of the little elf you've produced one moment and then be the learing dirty old man licking his lips over a 20 year old model the next (who is a some other Daddy's little elf). Leaving the leering to younger, single, men. Period.
It is simply unacceptable on this site.
I read your rant several times and am not sure what the problem is besides this sentence.
Because so many men are so busy being macho that they refuse to embrace a woman's perspective on issues.
Exactly what issues are men not embracing and why should they be embraced?
A non-response if I ever heard one...
Well, I'll just shut up.
I give up.
I don't have a clue about your point.
Can you give us some examples? I'd really like to know.
Thanks for the enlightenment, o experienced one.
I didn't read it that way, but I will take your word for it.
That has got to be one of the worst opuses I have ever read.
I am a conservative woman, and I share none of your resentment towards the men on this forum.
You seem more upset with men in general and your impression of their need to be "macho" than you appear to be unhappy with anything that is specific to the conservative men who post on this forum. In that case, you are indeed better off posting on some man-hating feminist forum instead of FR.
I love manly men. A little bit of testosterone never killed any woman. While men do make you want to strangle them sometimes, men who are not afraid of acting like men are generally much better at taking care of women in their "softer" moments. As you seem to value this uniquely feminine perspective of the world so much, you should be able to value the complementary nature of manhood to femininity.
My personal definition of a feminist has always been that of a woman who is angry about not getting enough fun when the lights are out. My suggestion is for you to make sure that this does not apply to you, and learn how to appreciate manhood more than you already do.
Give me a break. Your insults are so typical. Get in touch with your brain.
Sorry, sweetie. My calendar is booked.
Err...The thread is still here. Nobody pulled it.
