How the NRA Degrades and Objectifies Women
motherjones.com ^ | 9/18/2014 | Mark Follman

Recently the National Rifle Association has aimed to boost its appeal among women. Last year it launched its "new and improved" NRA Women's TV Network, and it has hired several accomplished female gun enthusiasts as official NRA News commentators. Women were a focus at its annual meeting in April, and next month the NRA will host a Women's Leadership Forum Executive Summit, which promises to "celebrate the role of women as powerful leaders."

But for women who oppose the NRA, it's a different story.

So, targeting a liar such as shannon t watts is a bad thing? Revealing the true nature of these puppets for bloomberg is bad? Revealing their background and the load of horse hockey needs to be done to show what charlatans they are. The dis-honorable shannon t watts refuse to let Dana Loesch ask her any questions and zoomed of in an SUV with NY license plates and was surrounded by some large uh, protectors who were likely armed and paid for by nannie bloomers. Nothin' phone there. And, it is from motherjones so it must be factual.

I forgot one thing. If the NRA is so good at degradation, maybe the lyin’ king needs to talk to them about degrading isis/isil/is. Maybe some pointers on how to really get the point across. Maybe “Your mother wears combat boots” or “You’re so ugly you have to tie a pork chop around your neck just get a dog to play with you.” Very degrading. :>}

Terrified of empowered traditionalist women, like when Megyn Kelly interviewed Bill Ayers and he fell apart at the seams.

The left routinely degrades and objectifies women:

Got my wife into shooting trap by finding a good coach to teach her the fundamental’s of shooting, safety, stance, how to shoulder the gun, then bought her a gun that could be adjusted to fit her right and had it adjusted at a gunsmiths shop. Glasses, ear protection and a tune up video and let her go. Once she started breaking 18-20 then more she was hooked.
She’s not a country girl, 5’ 105 lbs high heels and dresses accountant who didn’t like guns. It was just showing her it’s safe and a lot of fun to shoot.
It’s a short hop to rifles and pistols from there, and now I feel better when she’s out alone.
The NRA supports this, but I’m more of a gun owners of America fan.
We plan to continue shooting

Mother Jones staff believe the masses must be disarmed in order to ease the imposition of “true socialism, which hasn’t been tried yet.”

(Mention the USSR, Cuba, North Korea, Maoist China, Kampuchea, etc. and you get that as the standard answer.)

So, the NRA is in the way of the revolution & must be destroyed. Not so fast; Morris Dees of SPLIC vowed in 1975 that he would make the NRA disappear by 1980. We’re still waiting, ol’ Mossie.

Mother Jones wailing that the NRA is unfair to women is like a two-year old’s tantrum.

“The masses must be reeducated!!” (Clenched fist salute)

Yup.

You should read the posts. Very little factual evidence from the gun control people. Mostly ad hominems and name calling.

The pro gun ownership people presented solid reasoned ideas.

That is just my biased opinion, though.

Don’t worry. If the NRA didn’t “objectify and degrade” women, they would be accused of ignoring women and not meeting their needs.

let’s talk about planned parenthood degrading and objectifying women.

let’s talk about hillary’s bimbo eruption team that degraded and objectified women bill raped and/or had sex with.

let’s talk about the left continually objectifying and degrading the entire voting demographic, “the women vote” - like they own it and won’t let it ever leave the democrat plantation.

tlet’s talk about the left degrading women who want to stay home and raise their kids instead of doing what the left thinks they should, hypocritically trumpeting they are the party of “choice”. denigrating women who don’t make the choice the libtards think they should make.

“But for women who oppose the NRA”

One’s enemies will deride ANYTHING about their opponent.

Reminds me of a boss who, in a meeting, derided me for doing something a particular way. I then pointed out that I had done it EXACTLY the way he had told me to.
Those seeking to criticize will find a way.
