S.D. bans abortion and the media is mostly silent

[donsu]

DU is mostly silent

what is there to say? women have been kicked in the vagina again. . . by the men

are you men happy now?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. If you think DU has been mostly silent,

you haven't been reading the threads since Friday. Even the announcement of this outrage made the Greatest page.

[donsu]

2. to clarify I meant now, today and last nite's CNN news

banning abortions in S.D. is earth shaking news

the religiously insane probably had celebration dinners last nite

[smtpgirl]

17. That is why I think that the GOP

are targeting fundie issues and gay marriages because of this

[BlueIris]

3. Ooooh, careful, now. It's not all men!!! Stop generalizing!!!

The men who voted for Kerry would like to get laid sometime in the next century, too, you know. If you don't stop pointing out how the widespread threat to choice is the result of misogynist Patriarchy and those who won't do jack shit to stop it...women might start thinking bad things about the "liberal 'men,'" too. So, shhhh. (Usually, wimmen are dumb enough to think a vote for a Democrat equals a non-misogynist--don't blow their cover!)

Honestly. The rationalizations for the Patriarchy on DU in the last 24 hours have been obscene. I especially hate the pathetic losers once again accusing those offended by the ocean of misogyny 90% of America is SNORKELING IN of "stereotyping" "all men." AAAUUUUGGGHHHH. Stop demonizing women who have brains, know how to use them, and even if they haven't studied the creation and evolution of Patriarchal America would be able to figure out what the source of obstructions to choice is with their own two eyes. It's offensive. It's also obvious.

Fellas? If you're worried that we're going to stop fucking you because we can't do so safely anymore...not like we ever really could...go get a vasectomy. Then learn the word feminism. Then start doing your part to make this an equitable society. Stop blaming women for calling the Patriarchy a Patriarchy. Go talk to those ACTUALLY keeping this society Patriarchal. (Hint: who likes Patriarchy the best?)

4. I think bad things about liberal men too

the nice liberal men like to climb into vaginas but they would rather sit on the coach then to fight for the rights of the vagina

22. Thoughtful debate is calling somebody an idiot?

Do you read your comments before you post them?

[BoneDaddy]

25. There was no chance for thoughtful debate...

that line was crossed when the comments were made, i responded in kind.

[smtpgirl]

16. No, I think it is about the

zero population growth, and keeping the US a white majority.

It has been predicted that by 2037, the US will have a "minority majority".

It is the white men in power that are scared of that kind of prediction, because the tables might turn on them and then tey in turn will be the repressed.

5. CNN covered the story

23. Why so defensive?

And why must you overreact to comments by women? Touchy.

[BoneDaddy]

24. I would react this way if they were from anyone

Because I am sick of the double standard and the way men are depicted in some of these rooms.

[BoneDaddy]

26. When you have seen the amount of

pathetic male bashing by a select few of gender fascist fundamentals on these boards lately, you would be a bit touchy too.

[Freddie Stubbs]

10. USA Today hasn't been silent:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-03-06-sd-abortion-ban_x.htm

[BOHICA06]

12. It means nothing until the Black Robed ones

say it means something.

It will get shot down at the lower level and the USSC will have the final say or no say

[FreedomAngel82]

14. And now it's coming to other states

[donsu]

15. yes , Mississippi for one

nt

[DrGonzoLives]

18. Oh, very happy

If you'll excuse me, now I have to go to my Klan meeting so I can get back to oppressing blacks and Jews.

[smtpgirl]

19. HEY women are still repressed in nations like

India, China, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Cuba, Mexico, Indonesia, Kuwait

[donsu]

20. I want to see Lou Dobbs outraged over it

I want to see a conference or round table of outraged men talking about it and it televised on c-span, prime time not in the middle of the night

[Le Taz Hot]

21. Dang!

That's pretty sexist, don't you think? Virtually ALL the men I know are pro choice AND back it up with action. There are LOTS and LOTS of women who are anti choice out there or who claim to be pro choice but don't back it up with any action.

ALL men are NOT the bad guys and it does the women's movement absolutely NO good to paint all men as misogynist uninvolved louts.

[NMMNG]

27. Neither the media nor DU have been silent about this issue

If you believe that you have been sleeping the past week.

[AsinineAutumn]

28. On your team..

I brought it to the attention of several females in my work space today that do not keep up with current events, so we are on your

side. Everyone wants their favorite issues to be front page news, but patience is key i'm sure.

[NMMNG]

30. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

And thanks for spreading this important news.

[Vickers]

29. "are you men happy now?"

No.

[okieinpain]

31. well if it was cali, or new york. but who the fuck lives in S.D., shit

that's like if Oklahoma banned abortion who would give a shit.

This post is both a broadbrush, group attack as well as flamebait.
