Gloria Steinem, who has led the feminist movement for decades, lashed out this weekend at the Catholic Church and blamed the pedophile scandal on its male-dominated hierarchy – a structure she also blamed for creating Adolf Hitler. Speaking at a charity luncheon for the YWCA of Palm Beach County, Fla., this past Friday, Steinem began her speech by saying, "I hardly know where to begin."
"To create a hierarchy of authority and sanctity and then suppress sexuality as a natural form of expression and subject these men to total control," Steinem said, "well, it's almost natural that some of them will then seek control over people lower down in the power structure."
Steinem also claimed that pedophile priests were victims, just as the children they had abused, of the male-dominated church hierarchy.
According to a press report, Steinem drew a clear line connecting male dominance, the church sex scandals and the terrorists who wreaked havoc on Sept. 11.
Steinem then drew a link between the Church sex scandal and Adolf Hitler.
"Let's not forget that Hitler was elected from a society with a strong patriarchal authoritative structure," Steinhem said.
"We can't begin to know how much less violence there could be in the world if one generation of children was raised without violence," Steinem claimed.
According to Steinem, all evil finds its origin in the male gender.
She stressed that the terrorists of 9-11 were all male – and added that all of the school massacres have been orchestrated by young males who were heterosexual "or striving to appear heterosexual."
Steinem also said that almost all serial murderers are male and usually Caucasian and come from the middle class.
Steinem said: "The cult of masculinity is the basis of every violent, fascist regime. … We need to raise our sons more like our daughters, with empathy, flexibility, patience and compassion. These so-called feminine qualities are present in men as much as women, and it's a libel on men to say they're not."
Why Do We Oppose the Jews?
Why Do We Oppose the Jews?
We oppose the Jews because we are defending the freedom of the German people. The Jew is the cause and beneficiary of our slavery He has misused the social misery of the broad masses to deepen the dreadful split between the right and left of our people, to divide Germany into two halves thereby concealing the true reason for the loss of the Great War and falsifying the nature of the revolution.
The Jew has no interest in solving the German question. He cannot have such an interest. He depends on it remaining unsolved. If the German people formed a united community and won back its freedom, there would be no place any longer for the Jew. His hand is strongest when a people lives in domestic and international slavery, not when it is free, industrious, self-aware and determined. The Jew had caused our problems, and lives from them.
That is why we oppose the Jew as nationalists and as socialists. He has ruined our race, corrupted our morals, hollowed out our customs and broken our strength. We owe it to him that we today are the Pariah of the world. He was the leper among as long as we were German. When we forgot our German nature, he triumphed over us and our future.
The Jew is the plastic demon of decomposition. Where he finds filth and decay, he surfaces and begins his butcher's work among the nations. He hides behind a mask and presents himself as a friend to his victims, and before they know it he has broken their neck.
The Jew is uncreative. He produces nothing, he only haggles with products. With rags, clothing, pictures, jewels, grain, stocks, cures, peoples and states. He has somehow stolen everything he deals in. When he attacks a state he is a revolutionary. As soon as he holds power, he preaches peace and order so that he can devour his conquests in comfort.
What does anti-Semitism have to do with socialism? I would put the question this way: What does the Jew have to do with socialism? Socialism has to do with labor. When did one ever see him working instead of plundering, stealing and living from the sweat of others? As socialists we are opponents of the Jews because we see in the Hebrews the incarnation of capitalism, of the misuse of the nation's goods.
What does anti-Semitism have to do with nationalism? I would put the question this way: What does the Jew have to do with nationalism? Nationalism has to do with blood and race. The Jew is the enemy and destroyer of the purity of blood, the conscious destroyer of our race. As nationalists we oppose the Jews because we see the Hebrews as the eternal enemy of our national honor and of our national freedom.
But the Jew after all is also a human being. Certainly, none of us doubts that. We only doubt that he is a decent human being. He does not get along with us. He lives by other laws than we do. The fact that he is a human being is not sufficient reason for us to allow him to subject us in inhumane ways. He may be a human being—but what kind of a human being is he! If someone slaps your mother in the face, do you say: "Thank you! He is after all a human being!" That is not a human being, it is a monster. Yet how much worse has the Jew done to our mother Germany, and is still doing today!
There are also white Jews. True, there are scoundrels among us, even though they are Germans, who act in immoral ways against their own racial and blood comrades. But why do we call them white Jews? You use the term to describe something inferior and contemptible. Just as we do. Why do you ask us why we oppose the Jews when you without knowing it are one too?
Anti-Semitism is not Christian. That means that it is Christian to allow the Jews to go on as they are, stripping the skin from our bodies and mocking us. To be a Christian means to love one's neighbor as oneself! My neighbor is my racial and blood brother. If I love him I have to hate his enemies. He who thinks German must despise the Jews. The one requires the other.
Christ himself saw that love did not always work. When he found the moneychangers in the Temple, he did not say: "Children, love one another!" He took up a whip and drove them out.
We oppose the Jews because we affirm the German people. The Jew is our greatest misfortune.
It is not true that we have Jews for breakfast.
It is true that slowly but surely, he is stealing all that we have.
Things would be different if we behaved as Germans.
Revolutionary Demands
I don't know where to begin either, but a certain place where the sun don't shine comes to mind. Maybe she should begin there.
The poor guy never had a chance. ; )
Won't be long until he is tossed into the boiling oil, too.
The poor guy never had a chance. ; )
He sure didn't, starting with the wedding. The following is from theweddingparty.com, which requires a major barf alert:
The Wedding Party 2001 was held Sunday, June 24th at 10 AM, on Gay Pride Day, at Central Park South, across from the historic Plaza Hotel. Harvey Fierstein was our esteemed master of ceremony and the morning began with the inpsirational sounds of the Lavender Light Gospel Choir.
And we hardly know where to shut you up.
It never occurs to feminists or socialists that we didn't start seeing problems like this until their agenda started to become mainstream.
Attempting to feminize young men leads to violent lashing out.
Forcing "social(ist) equality" tends to make everyone equally miserable.
