Lush Windbag Finally Splains Why Feminism Is Bad For 'Murika
(Disclaimer: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=935110&mesg_id=935110)

According to Lush Windbag, May 21, 2007:

It's CONFUSING!!!!1111 Feminism upset everything when it came along!!!! It CHANGED the STATUS QUO!!!!!!11 It confused those who liked things just the way they were and made it HARD to figure out what to DO!!!!!!!1111111111

OH WAH :cry:

Kinda like when little black children were allowed into white schools in the 50's and smug little lardasses like Rushie got all mixed up.

Or when black people were allowed to sit at the lunch counter or in any damn bus seat they pleased, or drink out of the same water fountain-- where is poor little Rush Lardbum to go and eat and sit and drink with all these --- colored people and WOMEN -- around?!!!!!!11111

Today Lush claimed that "feminists see this as a competition." No, Lush. Feminists see it as a lack of a level playing field or lack of at least an opportunity to play the game without having both feet tied together.

Your fear and confusion and inability to deal with reality is no excuse.

:thumbsdown:

1. Dang! The good ol' days when women stayed in the kitchen and you could lynch
blacks! We lost our "innocence" - everything is so very complicated now - you have to pretend to respect people who are not white rich makes!:nopity:

2. I'm surprised he didn't use the "Gingrich Assertion"
The Gingrich Assertion, in essence, was that women couldn't be in combat roles because they'd get "infections" in their "foxholes." Though they're better with "secretarial spread" work, even in a combat situation, as males can't sit and focus, and simply have an intense urge to hunt GIRAFFES.....

No, I am not making this up. A refresher for the unbelievers:

    Real Life Thoughts from Newt:
    "If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems
    staying in a ditch for thirty days because they get infections and they
    don't have upper body strength. I mean, some do, but they're relatively
    rare. On the other hand, men are basically little piglets, you drop them in
    the ditch, they roll around in it, doesn't matter, you know. These things
    are very real. On the other hand, if combat means being on an Aegis-class
    cruiser managing the computer controls for twelve ships and their rockets,
    a female may be again dramatically better than a male who gets very, very
    frustrated sitting in a chair all the time because males are biologically
    driven to go out and hunt giraffes."

    -- Adjunct Professor Newt Gingrich, Reinhardt College, January 7, 1995,
    "Renewing American Civilization."

6. Why do you hate America?
We have to fight the giraffes over there so that we don't have to fight them here!

8. Yeah, and he's never heard of dysentery or trench foot
either, what an ignorant putz.

Face it, right wing men are delicate little flowers. Even knowing something exists that offends them, even if they never come into contact with it, makes them all confused and unhappy.

To hell with the lot of them.

9. If it interferes with his fun, apparently it is an infection!
And having never served, he's not up on boot camp crud, or any of the combat related diseases....

13. I remember when he said that
seems to me that that should have buried him forever just on stupidity principles alone.

15. And let's not forget that most dreadful of disorders - verbal diarrhea...
Which people like Newt and Rush have managed to pick up despite, as far as I know, never having been near a front line in their lives.

3. Men, don't try Rush's attitude, yourselves.
The only reason that guy EVER gets laid is because he's rich and famous.

11. Excellent point which should be oft repeated
Average Joes revere and try to emulate male comedians, shock jocks, pundits, etc., who demean women. Rush and Howard Stern and Bill Maher and the rest of them are laughing all the way to the bank.

12. Poor Widdle Rushie Has To Be Handed Every Widdle Thing
Becasue he certainly can't compete. The only way he can come close to succeeding is to disqualify 90% of the competition.

He's had too many instances of being one of five guys auditioning for four parts and being the one who didn't get cast.

Disqualify the other four guys and he's suddenly the star.

The only thing Rush is qualified for is pissing and moaning on the radio. He'd never make it in the real world. The sad thing is, he's got a loyal following because there are others like him, who feel they must disqualify the rest of the world so they have a chance.

Every racist, sexist pig who complains endlessly about how minorities and women and gays and anyone else discriminated against is carrying around a load of insecurity. They can't compete on equal terms and they know it. Their grandfathers (not grandmothers!) were born on third base and they're all pissy because they have to start at home plate with a bat in their hand like everybody else. Even if they don't have two strikes already called against them. They're afraid they can't hit the ball no matter how many tries they get.

We may start with one or two strikes called against us, but at least we're in the game and some of us are hitting homers. That's a pill far too bitter for the Rush Limbaugh types to swallow.

Every female CEO, every minority brain surgeon, every senator or representative who isn't a white male is another aneurism waiting to happen.
