GOP Conservative Phyllis Schlafly attacks US women, they should be cared for by men

[rdean]

Think Progress Right-Wing Pundit Phyllis Schlafly Decries Government Assistance For ?Unmarried Moms?

70% of unmarried women voted for Obama. And this is because when you kick your husband out, you’ve got to have Big Brother Government to be your provider.

Schlafly’s argument is specious. She talks about “subsidizing illegitimacy,” but not all single women are mothers. Less than 20 percent are mothers to young children. The rest include millions of widows, millions of young never-married women, and plenty in between — some of whom have kids, but most of whom do not.

The fact that programs like UI and food stamps help unmarried women is only a byproduct of the system designed to help everyone in need – men and women alike. In fact, men are receiving more UI benefits than women – the unemployment rate for men is a full 2.2 points higher than it is for women.

---------------------------------------

All the other errors of feminism flow from this one fundamental error, a counterfactual insistence on the equality of the sexes. Men and women are not the same, and therefore are not equal.

When Phyllis Schlafly Speaks the Truth, Democrats Call It ‘Extremism’ : The Other McCain

---------------------------------------

Apparently, women can only "make it" if they are supported by a "man". Well, at least Phyllis Schlafly isn't targeting the gays anymore. Perhaps she saw how bad she was hurting her son?

Sweetie....Phyllis Schlafly has been attacking strong, independent women since the 60s...this is nothing new from that crazy loon.

But it seems that since her son was forced out of the closet, she has stopped attacking the gays.

I saw one of her interviews on, believe it or not, "Bill Maher" and she said she couldn't understand how her son turned out gay. The kids were home schooled, they were fed a diet of Bible and they were kept away from TV and anything that could contaminate their little minds.

They were exposed only to the traditional man and wife, meaning her and her husband. She went on to say how she was totally subservient to her husband exactly as it's spelled out in the Bible so she just couldn't understand how her son "caught" gay.

At around that point, Bill made one of his silly jokes and she simply stopped talking.

The point is, she did everything "right" and he still turned out true to his own nature. But at least she didn't disown him and throw him out into the street penniless, like Alan Keyes did. Of course, for him, it was in the name of love, Christian morals and family values. So it was apparently, "OK".

Good Lord, what next? An Allan Combs thread?

Could this be any less relevant?

She actually made some great points. I didn't catch the part where she attacked anyone or said that all women should be cared for by men. It looks like you Socialists/Progressives just spun her comments they way you wanted to spin em. This post just looks like a Smear-Job attempt to me. Therefore i must call Bull Chit on it.

I guess expressing your opinion = "Attacking" to the warped Socialists/Progressives these days. I'll have to remember their warped philosophy the next time i see one of them ranting & raving about something.

She was on FOX last night saying those very things. Perhaps you want to blame FOX now?

Ranting? Like that NY Congressman and Rahm? That kind of ranting?

She said, "A woman without a man is encouraged to depend on Uncle Sam." and didn't make the distinction that most unmarried women have no children.

If you know her history, she believes women should be totally subservient to men, like it says in the Bible.

That may be fine for you, but not for most Americans.

She did not attack anyone. She merely expressed her opinion. You Socialists/Progressives didn't agree with her but that doesn't mean she attacked anyone. Now you're just trying a Smear-Job on her. Par for the course with you nutters i guess. She didn't attack anyone. You're the only ones doing the attacking. You are disingenuous liars. Nuff said.

Wait a minute...isn't rdean just "merely expressing her opinion" too? When a righty puts down a person or group...it's just "expressing an opinion" . When a lefty does it, it's an attack.

Love this double standard you live quite comfortably with. Bi-Polar much?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Like i said,you Socialist/Progressive nutters are the only ones doing the attacking. She didn't attack anyone. Expressing your opinion does not automatically mean that you're attacking someone. You kooks didn't like what she said so you spun it that she was attacking people. Just more lies.

I'm not attacking...I am "merely expressing my opinion."

Oh, I forgot....it's "attacking" if I'm a Leftie....oopsie.

No you are attacking. She was merely expressing her opinion. You just have it backwards that's all. Glad i could help. You're welcome.

Still not exactly sure why it's bad to suggest that men should get off their butts and take care of their family responsibilities.

Rabbi:

Remove the incentive to keep a husband around and you won't.

Hmmm, could it be that some of you guys just aren't equal to the investment of time, effort, and money anymore?

Why is it that when men didn't want to "buy the cow," it was considered a truism, but when women discover that they don't want to take any bull while working double shifts (one unpaid) and paying half or more than half of the household bills, its the end of Western civilization?

Maybe if you prettied yourselves up at the end of the day, made yourselves more attractive, cleaned up the house, made us some dinner, and met us at the door with a drink, a smile, and a sympathetic ear at the end of OUR long work day, you could keep more of your wimmins interested in hauling most of your freight.

THe myth of the successful professional woman raising her own child and getting ahead in this man's world is just that--largely a myth. Most single mothers are working class at best. Their children grow up with incidents of drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, unwanted pregnancy, violence, and poverty far more often children who grow up in 2 parents families.
This is simply fact.

And honey, next time don't treat your own failure to maintain a mature relationship as the basis for attacking men.

1) Don't call me "honey." That's bee shit, and I don't even respect, much less like you.
2) I raised mine on my own. One is a college student working as a TA at a local community center, and the other has 1 year of HS to finish. Neither has gotten pregnant, gotten anyone else pregnant, neither have been arrested, run away from home, or lived the drama some children from two parent dysfunctional homes have. They have bright futures ahead of them. Their favorite part of me is that I tell them the truth.
Go figure.
Any failure is not my own. You guys want to continue to live like your still providing everything while it is the women who haul the majority of the freight in society. While this has always BEEN true, its harder to hide the fact when we're working double time with little and or no recompense for our labor and financial contributions.
Unless and until you bring more to the table beyond demands and needs, you're simply not required, and that is nobody's fault but your own.

And how did I know, just know, that you are unable to form and maintain a stable mature relationship with a man? Yeah, sure. Your failures are someone else's fault. Blame society. Blame George W Bush.

George will have to deal with his own.

I don't need any of you. That strength is not a "failure" on my part, and the requirement for that strength is not a weakness of my own.

It simply is what it is, and you cave men will have to adapt, die off, or learn to live without.
