What women should want Politically correct is tiresome tyranny

Through the ages, men have sworn their adoration for the weaker sex, in paintings and poems, in songs and books and movies. But it has only been in the last century that men have openly admitted that women are better than men in far more ways.

China's Mao said: "Women hold up half of heaven," while the Soviet Union's Nikita Khrushchev acknowledged that "It is the men who do the administrating, and the women who do (the actual) work." And even that arch- capitalist billionaire Aristotle Onassis said: "If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning."

As International Women's Day approaches on Tuesday, let's face it, women are not just kinder and more gentle, which are often considered feminine traits, they are also more honest, less sexist, less racist and less ageist. They are just plain better human beings than men.

Quick, think of 10 individuals who have ruined, just in the last 60 years alone, the lives of countless millions of people: Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Il Sung, Idi Amin, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Slobodan Milosevic, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden ... well, you get the idea.

The "Wish I were a Girl" who wrote the column would be a good guess!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

That's pretty good.

The columnist is a Washington correspondent for the South China Morning Post.

By the time he gets to the end of his column it takes on an entirely different feel.

I have a question:

My mother was recently telling me about a book she had to read in college. I'm thinking it was written in between 1950-1970s.

Anyway it was a militant Feminist book and it was written by a lesbian. It was about how women are superior to men and should become lesbians and withold sex from men to get ahead, but they should use some men for sex and raise the children in their lesbian partnerships.

My mom originally thought it was the Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, but it wasn't. She can't remember the name.

But I really really wanted to read it, just to understand the origins of the radical FemiNAZI movement.

Does anyone know the title of this book, or maybe you know a very similar book?

Yes, I regret my earlier post, above. I had to defeat the gag reflex in order to proceed with the article.

I have gotten sensitized to the issue because I live in a PC area where holding the door at the Post Office for a Womyn is tantamount to spitting in their face.

I am so glad I am not single. I would probably take a job as a lighthouse keeper or a janitor in a monastary.

I am really fed up with the issue, and feel very much like a "Boiler with the safety valve wired shut" when confronted by some of the more militant.

This is part of the Left's orchestrated, insidious campaign to gain acceptance for a woman President and one in particular, Hillary. We have the Siena poll, the announcement of a new TV series in which a woman is the President, etc. Expect more such stories, polls, films, revelations etc. conditioning us for a woman President.

[LauraleeBraswell]

Exactly, there are women in Politics. But the truth is...

Just like sports games, I would say that more women just aren't interested in it.

And this statement

""Despite all our back-slapping about our cherished America being the land of equality, it is still a fact that on average women are paid only 75 cents to every dollar earned by men.""

That's not true. Congress investigated this study, it's completely fake, made up.

A women could be President. Only it would have to be a certain kind of woman, NOT Hillary.

Men are more likely to be natural leaders. And if you look at our Presidents past and present, they all exuberate a certain kind of strength. These qualities are by nature more masculine.

But A woman could be President.
We just haven't had a woman who has these qualities run for a position of power. No one is discriminating or sexist.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I don't know it.

I was reading "Total Woman."

[webstersII]

This guy is just upset that he's not a girl. I wonder if he has scheduled his sex-change operation yet.

When he wrote this:

"Despite all our back-slapping about our cherished America being the land of equality, it is still a fact that on average women are paid only 75 cents to every dollar earned by men."

I knew that he was not interested in looking at any facts, he is only parroting the Politically Correct crap that masquerades as thoughtful journalism these days.
That statistic has been so thoroughly discredited that I didn't think anyone took it seriously anymore.

This is where purse holding, feminist men get tripped up.


[From the article]***....But now I'm told that here in the United States appreciating a woman with an admiring smile or a kind word constitutes some form of sexual harassment. How sad for them. How sad for us.... ***

Don't forget Susan Sarandon. She's evil.

Check Post #17.

He's more a victim of feminists and PC.

Sorry. You might google Andrea Dworkin (SP). She was an explicitly anti-male lesbian feminist that had great traction in Left-kook circles at one time. Seemed to her that love, marriage and sex are all male pretense to rape and kill women in a symbolic way. A real charmer and, of course, a happy, happy woman. My advice - just don't google any of her images.
