Capitalism bad; tree pretty. And it has this awesome quote from Pat Robertson:
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians."
It sounds much more interesting when put like that...
That quote is 14 years old! Surprised you haven't heard it before?
ReplyDeleteand unfortunately Aaron not much has changed - we feminists still face many of the same attacks - apparently we are now to blame for AJ Chesswas not being able to find a wife!
ReplyDeleteok i shouldn't be commenting, too much work to do argh!
Makes it much easier to hate people you have demonized - rather like how national is supposed to be eraticating equality.
ReplyDeleteWhat pat really means is that feminism relitive to his position, tends to have those effects.
ie
It is about a socialist (generally speaking), anti-family (or rather "not pro family enough) political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands (I dont see much dispute here - the feminists would just say they SHOULD be leaving their husbands), kill their children (I think this is abortion - depends on your definition of children - but since he is the one saying it I guess he gets to pick the definition), practice witchcraft (or rather not banning it), destroy capitalism (i think he wandered back onto the socalism thing), and become lesbians(or more generally to explore ones sexuality)."
