protest says schwarzenegger degrades women
more great quotes from Arnie the groper, read the whole article.

Protest Says Schwarzenegger Degrades Women

``...
In the latest distraction from Schwarzenegger's official message of a "people's revolution" to retake Sacramento in an Oct. 7 recall vote, a group of women announced they would picket the former bodybuilder's campaign headquarters on Friday to protest what they call his misogynist views and crude behavior toward women. ...

Some published articles have portrayed Schwarzenegger as touching women's bottoms and breasts without their consent.

In a recent interview with Reuters, his best friend Franco Columbu confirmed that such incidents have taken place, such as when he touched the breasts of a British television presenter.

"Like the girl in London when he was lying on the bed, the couch or whatever it was, and touching her and taking a picture," Columbu said. "That stuff is Arnold, he does that. He says, 'You have nice big legs' and touch her, fine. But nothing harmful or telling somebody 'Leave, I am going to be with her alone."' ...

In the 1974 book "Pumping Iron" Schwarzenegger said: "If I see a girl with big tits, I'm going to stare and stare. And I'm going to think in my mind what I am going to do with her if I would have her."
...''

1. He's P-I-G
And I sincerely hope that the smart voters of California will not vote this indecent POS into office. It would be a crime. And holy joe talks about "rookies" running the country? What about rookie groping womanizers running state government, with supporters like Orrin Hatch trying to change the constitution so that these same "rookies" can run for President? Where in the hell is the outrage?

Personally, I'm disgusted by arnie and were I still a resident of California, I would be working hard for his defeat, never to be heard from again. (As a side, I just wonder what good ole' Maria thinks about having all her husband's dirty laundry aired in public?)

6. trouble is, he ISN'T 12
which makes him a F***ING PIG. I have no doubts many, many men THINK the way Arnold does, but thank goodness MOST of them are not stupid or crass enough to SAY what they f***ing think. :puke:

7. Or ACT the way
Arnold acts. I hope this gets some media attention. I just can't imagine many women voting for someone who thinks it's just fine to go up and grab a woman at random.

I keep bringing this issue up with various male and female friends. My female friends just decide to not support him but most are Dems anyway. Most of the men just dismiss this issue and I finally got furious and demanded why. They told me that is so unacceptable and repulsive that they just can't imagine it to be true. If it's reported in a mainstream newspaper, they all said they would never vote for him. I sent the Salon article to all.

16. Not just unacceptable, but criminal
Grabbing women's breasts and bottoms without permission is sexual assault. The only reason actresses put up with it is because of the clout he has--they're afraid they won't get acting work in Hollywood again if they complain. Not to mention the fact women's bodies are still considered fair game by most of the male population. I'm sure many men who hear about Arnold's exploits secretly wish they could grab women and get away with it like he does.

4. Linda Hamilton recounted ...
Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 01:44 PM by white_rider
... a story, a week ago or so, on BBC America's So Graham Norton show of an Arnold incident on the set of Terminator 2 or 3 (I forget which) where Linda's twin sister was on the set. Linda's sister was bent over doing something on the floor when Arnold ambled up behind her, grab her from behind and started to dry-hump her. Arnold was obviously in a joking mood and turned around laughing only to spot Linda standing in the back. A wave of horror swept Arnold's face as he realized that it wasn't Linda that he was dry-humping.

Yep, Arnold probably exceeds Clinton's libido by quite a bit.

Probably could get a transcript of the show from BBC America (better yet BBC).

14. She DOES take this abuse
From a WBAI interview:
vious show on Democracy Now!, but
at the time I didn't reveal who it was. But I was told by Maria Shriver
of "Dateline NBC" after the interview she told me if I had been raped,
my husband would leave me because after all I would be damaged goods.
And I have to say, I was pretty shocked when she said that. Because she
said it so matter of factly that it really stunned me and stunned the
entire crew that was there in the room. We were stunned into silence.

12. In case you missed it. --->
"Girls became sex objects. I saw the other bodybuilders using them in this way and I thought it was all right," he wrote in his 1977 memoir "Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder." "Whatever I thought might hold me back, I avoided. I crossed girls off my list -- except as tools for my sexual needs."

19. Talibornagains with children ...
like all parents: so aware of Lega, want to know the message their females are taking on -- here regarding workplace sex. 'Very important to the crocodiles, minding how their females behave. Breeding issues.

Sexual intimacy: the great teacher. But which lesson's it to be today? The adult pleasures of the bedroom: one-on-one, middle-class workspace fellatio and oval-office nookie? Or, the battlefield model of crypto-queer camraderie and multiple-male, single-female coitus -- nameless black woman, intoxicated, manhandled into a rear area, takes the gang's banging like a properly trained serviceworker, no tripp or drudge baring witness to her sacrifice?

Is one pardigm not prettier, more nurturingly family-centric, the other loveless and boastfully misogynistic? One enfranchising woman and her charms, the other reducing her to punchingbag flunky, discardable vessel or sleeve of convenience? To trailerpark 'merica's permanent outsider, suited mostly to squirting out wageslave revenue-generating units?

Genocide's aftermath brought home from battle. Like war itself, on the backs of women: the new order's post-amputation sexuality. All so that the new 'merican century might revel in its own stilborn and unimaginative advent. That secretdick need never crawl out from his exquisitely private bunker. That amphetamine-cranked genocide is as familiar in homeland livingrooms as the talkinghead sophists who infest sacred discourse. That darwin's rude imperatives might erupt feces-majestic in the puss sore of god-guns'n-gays militarism.

Success.
