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.
Point exemplified.
"Give me a break. Your insults are so typical. Get in touch with your brain."
Is this the thread you were complaining about being pulled?
Did you find it again???
Now that you're back on the air, hopefully you'll give us some pointers to the FR threads that illustrate your point....
Insults? That was a well-thought-out reply from a WOMAN. Why are you lashing out at the women? I thought you were mad at the men.
That was odd.
Isn't "sweetie" a sexist comment?
Take a number, sweetie.
What's with the "sweetie" stuff? You're discrediting yourself with the sexist comments.
Ah sweetie pie honey bunch, go make me a sandwich.
Then I probably wasn't speaking to you. Thanks.
I don't think it's sexist when used by a woman.
My point obviously is beyond your realm of comprehension.
Okay, let's. Problem is, you didn't. You whined "sexism" and "primate idealogy" without giving even one example.
We're waiting.....
Well, hi there.
You might want to be a bit more concise and a bit clearer on your next vanity.
JMHO.
That depends on her age and the size of her breasts.
Why is that?
I'm a woman and I have no idea what you are talking about...so what, man have always had a problem with listening to women, my husband does too..I call it selective hearing...big deal...we woman have had to deal with that since there were more than one male on earth. Build a bridge and get over it!
Of course we make a lot of piggish comments here. If we had friends or if we were remotely attractive to women we wouldn't be forced to wile away our time surfing in political forums and feverishly obsessing about dan rather and photoshopping him into humiliating outfits.
I for one hope that you stay. There is always room for another woman with a firm, shapely a** in the freerepublic.
Hey, Doll ... so, just what was it that got yer pretty little nose all outta joint?
You've sure thrown us a curveball from left field.
It seems to me you're the one being sexist, and rather bigoted in your vague and generalized accusation and condemnation of conservative men.
My lesser evolved primate consciousness just can't seem to grok your point.
I'm soooo embarassed.
