I was cruising along through my morning, coffee, Facebook, games, news, when this article grabbed my attention.
Some Women are Happy to Let the March Pass Them By
And while I was willing to listen to what they had to say as a viewpoint that has some validity even if I don’t agree with it, these women demonstrated that this viewpoint has no validity.
“They would criticize me more,” she says. “Even if I’d win a race, they would say, ‘Why did you do this? Why did you drive that method?’ I would answer, ‘Well, I won, didn’t I?’” When it became clear that “most owners won’t search out a woman driver,” she says she didn’t “complain about it, I just drove my own horses and showed them.”
O.K., how can one claim say that “women are equal” in the workplace after experiencing that?
I mean, both my Grandmothers worked and they just got on with it and did it, but I doubt either one would claim there was equality in the workplace. My father’s mother worked “solo” jobs. As an encyclopedia salesman and then as a real estate agent. (And she and Grampa opened a restaurant together.) My mother’s mother was a lawyer, but that was an unusual profession where women started entering in the mid 1800’s. But even today women are under-represented in trial law.
“All this moaning that people need to change their thinking, or that the government needs to intervene, that’s just people with too much time on their hands and they’re too far away from reality,” she says.”
Then….
“Arnett goes further still. “I do not believe a woman should be president of this country,” she says. “If a woman is president, even runs for president, then we are now a weaker country in the eyes of North Korea and those kinds of places and they are going to attack.”
Excuse me?
So you want women to stop whining about equality while trying to make sure that equality never exists.
And in terms of foreign policy we have the weakest President since Carter, weaker actually since Carter did not spend his time licking the boots of aggressive, murderous tyrants (Putin, the Saudi Royal Family, Kim Jong Un) like Trump does. She’s worried about North Korea if a woman becomes President? We currently have a President that saluted Korean Generals, said he and Kim Jong Un were “in love,” and has done jack shit to stop North Korea’s nuclear program, despite them firing a missile at our ally, Japan. In fact, he wants the U.S. to pull out of South Korea, leaving it undefended against attack from a rogue nation.
And she thinks a woman is going to be “weaker” than that?
“I don’t think women should be in the Senate or the House either,” Arnett continues, rejecting mention of studies showing that the more women in a governing body, the more collegial and bipartisan it can be. “The more women in the room the more drama,” she counters. “If there’s less women in the room, men can get the job done quicker.”
Really, because it was all men that took 85 years, a violent assault on the floor of Congress, and one a war that claimed more American lives than any other we have been in to get rid of slavery which everyone knew was a problem since the First Constitutional Convention.
No, men don’t get things done faster, and they don’t do it with less drama.
So this woman does not actually think she is equal or else she would want equal representation in her government. She likes being lesser than men and has no desire for women to have any power. She sexist against her own sex.
“I am sick of Hollywood running the world,” says Ruman. “It might hit closer to home if these were hard-working women that I can relate to.”
I don’t know how they think “Hollywood runs the world.” I don’t get that. Why? Because James Woods has three Twitter followers? Because Tim Allen’s show was cancelled?
Hey, Firefly was cancelled after 13 episodes. Joss Whedon did not whine about it being a political hit job.
You know what rules Hollywood?
Money.
Not politics.
$$$$$
It’s a freaking Industry folks, what do you expect? Do you really think they would skip out on a highly profitable venture if it has a conservative theme? Hell no. Would they have made a film about Margaret Thatcher starring Meryl Streep if Hollywood was a liberal totalitarian society? Hell no.
But they did because $$$$$.
Here’s a list of films that conservatives have claimed to contain conservative themes.
Though some of the claims are ridiculous, based solely on imagining liberalism as everything bad in the world therefore a film that shows “bravery” is “conservative.” ***But it’s obvious that their complaints about Hollywood being “ruled by liberals” is a hypocrisy to be trotted out when it’s convenient.***
And working as a professional actor is hard, and they do portray hard working women.
Her problem is when they portray hardworking women in equal terms with men.
I mean, how can one call the Hunger Games “liberal,” when it’s main character is a hard working girl from a coal mining town fighting against tyranny?
Or do women like her see fighting tyranny as a “liberal” activity?
“I was a truck driver, I worked in factories, I have done sexual harassment to men just like it’s been done to me,” Arnett recalls. “I would say, ‘Ooh, I’d like to try him on for size.’ Women do it too.”
Well, sexist twit, not every woman is you. Perhaps they are married and do not feel comfortable being hit on. Perhaps they just want to work and not feel like their job is a meat market. Maybe they don’t want to feel their career depends on them silently taking sexual comments or even “servicing” their boss.
“Women are more bleeding hearts about issues where that’s dangerous,” says Ruman. “For instance, I know all about the meat industry and how regulations have gone too far.”
I’ve seen multiple videos from several journalists and Humane Society investigators and activists going undercover at several meat processing plants in the meat industry and it’s horrific. There is no other word for it, whether you are a man or a woman. It’s shocking. You would have to be a sociopath to think that kind of cruelty is o.k.. (You can go look for them if you want your day completely ruined and have nightmares.) I’d say regulations have not gone far enough. We don’t have to end meat production, but the regulations need to be in place to make it a more humane practice because right now it’s a horror show. Such as lambs are sometimes cut up alive. After their throats are slit, sometimes the workers don’t wait for the lambs to die before they are carved up. And being distressed by this is being a “bleeding heart” who has made “regulations go too far?”
Hey Ruman, did it ever occur to you that you’re a sociopathic cunt?
And if she is referring to regulations about keeping meat safe for sale, does she not care about the public?
The testimony by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford accusing then Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault while in high school?
“Innocent until proven guilty,” Fisher said. “I didn’t see them prove the guilt.”
“Don’t come out 20 years after the incident, don’t wait 20 years to grow some balls,” said Arnett. “Come out when it happens.”
Given how badly the Justice System handles rape, with rape kits sitting for a over decade so the trial can come and go without the most important physical evidence being presented. And still in this day and age, the victims are on trial more than the attackers (sometimes driving them to suicide). Judges condemn them. And after going through all that hell, rapists walk free or are given ridiculously lenient sentences, even if they are caught in the act.
And that is in this day and age, and she’s wondering why women didn’t come forward 20 years ago? Women have second thoughts about coming forward now.
I was raped in 1989 before there was even the concept of “date rape.” I thought because I was in his apartment willingly, no one would believe that I had been forcibly sodomized. So I never went to the cops.
Does that make me a liar?
The Women’s March?
“What I saw was women disgustedly showing off their vaginas, going braless, showing their breasts,” said Fisher. “They were not marching for me.”
The march took place in January, so I don’t think many women were running around flashing people. In fact, I can’t find any reports of them doing so.
NYC has a “Go Topless” march in August, but that is not the Women’s March in Washington.
So where does she even get such information? Where did she supposedly “see” something that did not happen?
Or was she told that it “happened” by a heavily biased news outlet that tells their viewers what to believe?
“When asked about the Access Hollywood tape in which Donald Trump was heard boasting that because he was a star he could touch women in intimate ways, all of the half-dozen women interviewed did not immediately recognize the reference.
“I’m not sure I saw that one,” says Arnett.
“‘Access Hollywood’? I don’t know enough about that to give you an answer,” says Darlene Fisher, 64, who runs an antique mall near the border of Minnesota and South Dakota. “I am not at all familiar with the tape.”
An American would have had to have their head deliberately stuck under a rock to not have seen that tape. It was everywhere and discussed right up until the election.
Once reminded, she replied, “I am more suspicious of Bill Clinton than I am of Trump. I saw pictures of Joe Biden having his hand on women’s parts that he had no right to have. What about Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton? Those facts are being ignored.”
First of all:
Only y’know, Bill Clinton instead of Hillary.
And no. It was never ignored. In fact, it turned Bill Clinton into a lame duck President that last two years of his presidency. Bill Clinton lost his license to practice law for committing perjury about his affair with Lewinsky.
AND HE IS NOT PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW!
The newly elected women sitting together and celebrating at the State of the Union address last month?
“I watched because I am very interested in history and government and always have been,” Fariello says. “Not to watch some women act disrespectful.”
Wearing white is now “disrespectful?” That’s sort of like “When did kneeling become ‘disrespectful?'”
When the Alt Right needed it to be for their “liberals or anyone who rocks the WASP boat are anti-American” narrative.
And the tribute to the suffragette movement, that swath of women wearing white?
“That’s rude after Labor Day, it’s not fashionable,” Arnett quipped.
So? Is fashion (old fashion that most millennials don’t even know about) supposed to dictate what a woman is allowed to say?
“So what, the KKK dressed in white,” said Fisher. “They are tearing the nation apart. That’s what I saw, and I can’t understand how anyone else didn’t see it.”
Maybe because that was not what was happening. Maybe only you saw it because you are so scared of women being in power, you think of it as “tearing this nation apart,” So scared that you equate suffragists, the women who fought for YOUR right to vote, to the KKK.
Now these appalling women are a minority, but they are a frightening minority of self hating misogynists that frankly are shocking that they exist in a developed nation in this day and age. I can see not agreeing that pay equity is a problem or being “pro-life,” but this is outright hatred of their own sex based on a ill informed political factionalism.
