Imagine a pro-vagina world

How about focusing on the issues, and not race or gender. As long as the next president is black or female, you are ok with the folliwing: Moving in the direction of bigger government/more inept government programs, socialized medicine (why should I pay for someone else’s health care? Wouldn’t it be better to teach them how to be self sufficient instead of being dependant on the government?), higher taxes (jacking up the capital gains tax which would affect 100 million americans who own stock, hurting the very people they claim to be helping), a pro illegal immigration policy (which advocates breaking our laws… to get those votes of course), global warming nonsense (don’t even get me started with this garbage), and my favorite, alternative energy. Our oil costs are sky high because of democratic blocks on our own ability to be self sufficient (i.e. nuclear power). Let’s let China drill off our coast, but we can’t. Let’s not drill in Anwar so we can preserve a spotted owl or something. Anwar is a wasteland the size of South Carolina, and the area that would be drilled is the size of JFK International Airport… and it would vastly help us [1 million barrels a day, which is what we import from Saudi Arabia]. But no, instead we are wasting our time burning up out own food source making ethanol, which takes as much energy to produce as it puts out. Our economy cannot grow through conservation, and we are decades away from anything remotely equal to oil. Wake up and defer to common sense please. It’s so pathetic to see people make decisions about this country’s future based on the race or gender of who’s in the white house.

I take it that in fairness you also want an America in which women are 50% of workplace deaths, 50% of battlefield deaths, 50% of executed felons, 50% of sewer workers, 50% of coal miners, 50% of Bering Sea fisherman, pay 50% of child support/alimony, get child custody in the event of divorce 50% of the time, receive on average no more welfare than men, have no more room allocated to them in homeless/battereds shelters than men, serve just as many years in prison for the same offense as men, and die on average no later than men do in general? Throw in that nursing, elementary education, tenured positions in Women’s Studies departments, and salaried jobs at MS Magazine and N.O.W. all have to be no more than 50% women, and I might think you were consistent enough to be taken seriously.

This is why radicals like Hillary and Barack Hussein must never obtain the presidency

Well, if we could elect just Hillary’s vagina and not the rest of her, that would be fine with me.

50.9% of the US population is Female.Don’t blame Men for the distribution of Congress Women are the Majority. ;-)

Ms Drury,

In your household, who spends more time away from the family earning money? Because you are a self-described radical housewife, I’m betting it’s your husband who sacrifices his time. And between you and your husband, who spends more of that money on personal care products the other won’t use? I’m betting it’s you. So, as has been the case for at least as long as we’ve been looking into such things, men earn money they don’t spend while women spend money we don’t earn. I’d say we come out the better in this deal. It’s men, not women, who have endured the military draft, and I find it difficult to craft an argument that will convince a young man dying on a battlefield that it is he who is powerful—it is he who is running things.

Yes, we were chattels, we were property. But men were expected to give their lives in defense of their property. Their lives were worth less than the property for which they were expected to die defending. Again, we come out ahead.

The ceaseless plaint that women are powerless victims compared to men is what keeps us down. The feminist movement is vested in perpetuating this misperception, because if the real balance of power were acknowledged, the feminist movement would be over, and you would just be a housewife.

If you don’t support Obama, you must be a racist. It’s the system you democrats have created. Now the Hillary libs are complaining about being labeled a racist. “The chickens have come home to roost”, The great Rev Wright.
ps:If you don’t call him great, your a racist.

What if the first woman president is a conservative?

Shannon, no blogger at Feministing.com has ever called voting for Hillary “pro-vagina selfishness.” One of our commenters did so here: http://feministing.com/archives/008363.html.

Please issue a correction immediately – Feministing does not endorse any candidate. Thank you.

Key here, as stated above, is not that her candidates will destroy this country economically or that those policies will invert our capitalist system but she will vote for Hillary or Obama because they are not white men. Racist or sexist. Which one are you? In addition, I love what Lisa said above.

all liberals care about is identity politics. male, female black, white. they judge people based solely on skin color and genitalia. it sickens me to see what they have done to this country. the sad irony is when they get their way and the radical muslims take overy, she will be the one wearing the burka

This is the comment that I found so distasteful:

“Your comment has been queued for moderation by site administrators and will be published after approval.”

Interesting when the press starts to delete comments that they do not believe in….. The key giveaway? “moderation”

The sexism is the author’s statement “how sick I am of men in power.” Note she didn’t focus on particular men (Bush, Cheney) — it’s MEN she’s sick of “in power.” And she makes the absurd statement that she wishes Obama’s wife had run.

Wow! How pathetic. Let’s just get any woman in there — and the only two mentions are wives of successful liberal politicians.

The sad part about diatribes like this is that the author doesn’t bother to address why there are so few women on the national poltiical scene — women don’t run nearly as much as men. Why not talk about making elected positions part-time, like most were intended to be, to encourage women to run? But please, let’s not pluck women out of thin air and say, “Gee I wish she’d run because she’s a woman.”

And, yeah, I’d like to see more men have the choice to not be “the breadwiinner” (women would need to go along with that). And of course that includes shared parenting, doesn’t it?

If this country is stupid enough to elect someone as corrupt as Hillary or a puppet like Obama, then I’ll plan to move my business elsewhere. I’m sick and tired of the lazy bloodsuckers in this country sucking off the fruits of my labor.

As with pre-WW2 Europe, idiots like Ms Drury are polluting the business environment to the point that it isn’t worth staying …and in case you haven’t been there, many parts of the world have modernized and are very open to supporting new businesses.

So after I’ve left and you get stuck with the bill for your idiocy, maybe you’ll finally realize that you’ve Fu@ked yourselves and destroyed the great opportunity (the US) in the process.

You can have the best of both worlds and vote for Cynthia McKinney. Yeah, what if everyone who was focused peace and sustainability did just that…

it really sucks that most of your comments are angry bloggers who spend too much time on the internet. Mostly, a good example of the reactionary politics that don’t do anything good (whether or not good points are made).

I very much understand what you mean, but I think you have to keep in mind that many people of color are thinking the same thing about their childern in terms of Obama. All in all I think the most important thing any of us can do for the future is empower childern in posivite ways. otherwise, we really are screwed. thanks for writing this!!
