Abortion advocates switch their tactics: now asserting that the Tebow Family Ad promotes domestic violence.
Even though many women's groups supporting abortion rights condemned CBS and wanted the Tebow Family Ad pulled from the Super Bowl commercial line-up, claiming that somehow it would undermine a women's right to choose, millions of Americans viewed it yesterday. Not knowing what to expect and most holding on to a tight opinion either for or against, the Tebow Family ad didn't quite measure up to the hype; however, Tim Tebow tackled his mom!…

How very silly! This ad was funny and well done. I have been listening to the Feminazis since I was a teenager and I always found them waiting to jump on anything to get themselves noticed. If they are so hyped on the right to choose, why, when a woman CHOOSES to have her baby, they attack? Plus, I always said to my mother and my husband, can you believe how strident and unattractive these women are? They are so for if they get pregnant they have the right to choose to have an abortion but are so ugly that who would want to %^&* them anyway? Hey, ladies, just keep hoping. You really do need to get (*&^. Maybe that would make you feel like real women again. How's that complaining, whining, and everytime you look in a mirror it breaks doing for you? Well, maybe you will get lucky if you put a bag over your head. Silly Feminazis. I knew you were ridiculous when I was 13.

Oh, by the way, Roger, Rush is not on Fox News. Bad boy. And the MSM are just jealous because Matthewson Tingle Up My Leg, Rachel Maddcow and Keith I Wish I Was A Thespian's ratings are in the tank and Fox's ratings are higher than all of them combined x 3. Plus, most Americans are sick and tired of the lies and talking points of the Left Wing Loonies and are smart enough to find the truth out for themselves, not be Robert Gibbs Press "Corpes" lemmings.

Why would you think, Princess, I was so confused?

178 - A living example of what's wrong with objectification of women. The female misogynist is an interesting example of how some women deal with the injury it causes. Some of us think of ourselves as more than a repository for someone's semen, Princess.

Anyways, Cindy, just got a copy of Simone De Beauvoir's The Second Sex, a revolutionary book for its time, and I intend to read it. Have you?
I did like her fictional treatment I alluded to earlier, The Woman Destroyed, kind of reminiscent of Gertrude Stein's Three Women.

And if you haven't, you ought to look into some of Virginia Woolf's novellas and essays. She was a seminal thinker and a most consummate artist.

I can't say I have ever read any of them Roger. I should take the time some day to do that.
I have always just had my own ideas which I arrived at based on my own experiences. I am very interested in restructuring society. For me feminism is about changing the patriarchal model that oppresses both women and men. It is about an equality of voice and choice, not becoming equal to participate fully under the same destructive model. This is one reason anarchism was so attractive when I finally looked closely at it. Theoretically, anarchism already is a feminist prospect--theoretically.
For me, the model needs to be in line with human needs and valuing people. The Capitalist and patriarchal models are about domination and using people. I see these things as very destructive to the psyche of both women and men. So, I don't want to be equal by being a shark among sharks, being a better competitor, watching porno movies, being one of the boys, objectifying men, etc. In other words, equality isn't about using men on a basis equal to that of male use of females. Nor is it about having an equal opportunity to become anti-social. What I am interested is very humanizing, not dehumanizing (as Jordan thinks)--for both women and men.
Thank you for those suggestions. :-)

Anyway, here's something to whet your appetite:
Beauvoir and The Second Sex.

And another one, Inderdisciplinary Essays.

Thanks for those, Roger. I'm having a look now. Quite interesting.

Cindy,
I meant to correct the error in #182 earlier. Anyway, Gertrude Stein's work referred to is Three Lives, not Three Women.
