Partying With Saddam, Slobodan And The Feminists
By Brian Yates (03/11/05)
How did you spend the anniversary of Roe v. Wade?
Militant feminist members of the Feminist League of Organized Resistance partied the night away in morbid celebration of their right to kill babies. One can imagine many past and present world dictators – proponents of genocide all – such as Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic, Joseph Stalin, and Adolph Hitler all smiling at the notion.
Isn’t it funny how all supporters of abortion happen to be alive?
Nancy Theriot, professor of Women’s Studies at U of L, complained to the Louisville Cardinal that the media unfairly portrays feminists as “crazy, shrill, unreasonably angry, ugly and man-hating.” Meanwhile, the lovely ladies of FLOR are holding death to baby parties. Way to fight the perception, girls.
Very quickly here, allow me to expand on the true definition of a feminist. If you believe that men and women should have equal rights, then you are not a feminist. You’re normal.
The feminists of today are not Susan B. Anthony reincarnated. They’re nothing more than ugly women screaming for attention. They were born with less testosterone, and for that, society must pay.
Actually, one shouldn’t refer to a feminist as “ugly.” According to FLOR member Jessica Farquhar, in a 2003 letter to the Cardinal, feminists simply resist “patriarchal standards of beauty.” This is akin to the idiot who, upon flunking out of school, blames society’s discriminatory “standards of academics.”
Today’s feminist movement seems to be rooted in jealousy masquerading as a fight for suffrage.
Louisville itself has huge problems…museums. We have “huge, phallic, male things” such as the Louisville Slugger Museum, but no comparable monument to women. So instead of working to create a dominatrix memorial…they just complain. (And Theriot has to wonder why feminists are called man-hating?)
The lovely ladies whine that there has never been a female president and about the lack of female policymakers. “That’s surely not a democracy,” Farquhar told the Cardinal, “The majority of us (women are 51% of the population) are not represented.”
Wait a minute. Women do have the right to vote (and have since 1920.) If they hold the majority then whose fault is it that there has been no female president? Not the minority of men. I have no idea what they’re teaching in the Women’s Studies program, but clearly they don’t waste any time on statistics.
Not even the University of Louisville administration can dodge the venom. “Eighty-one percent of tenure-track positions are held by men,” Farquhar continued to bemoan. But in fact, over one-third of faculty positions belong to women, the second-most powerful position (provost) at U of L is held by a woman, and deans of the colleges of law, medicine, nursing and libraries system are all women. Women comprise over 53% of the student body. And the university has just created a $2 million endowed chair in Pan-African, women’s and gender studies.
Listening to our friends at the Women’s Center might lead one to believe that women were still prevented from working outside the home. But in fact, it would appear that equality of the sexes at U of L would not appear to be a colossal problem.
Apparently FLOR hasn’t noticed they’re 85 years too late for America’s suffrage movement. Susan B. Anthony fought for the right to vote; today’s feminist fights for the right to abort the baby that she will likely never have.
But with the rights of women not under assault from chauvinist men (to a feminist, this means all straight men), what – other than introducing babies to the Planned Parenthood equivalent of the Orkin Man – is today’s feminist supposed to fight for?
If FLOR wants a fight, they should head to Saudi Arabia or Iran. Or they could volunteer to help in Afghanistan, where women have only recently been granted the right to vote, go to school, and wear normal clothing. Or they could help the women of Iraq, who are only now free of the threat from Saddam Hussein’s rape rooms.
There is plenty for someone interested in equality for all to be thankful for and more than enough work to be done in savage backwards countries around the globe. But I suppose it’s much easier to just play the part of victim yourself.
