Board conservatives need an education

[vy65]

It's high time the board conservatives got with the times and learned a thing or two about what is and isn't acceptable in 2016. We're about to elect our first woman president (yes, I'm with her!), and its high time you putos checked your own misogyny. Consider this your first lesson

9 Signs you're dating a misogynist, because no woman has time for a man that doesn't respect women

By Laken Howard

There's no greater hell than getting to know a guy who seems awesome in every way, only to find out that he may or may not think that women are somehow inferior to men. Sure, most humans with a functioning brain know this is complete and utter BS — a person's a person, and women are undoubtedly just as strong, smart, funny, brave, and every other adjective as men are. The archaic notion that men should dominate women has unfortunately created an uncomfortably patriarchal society in many ways, and this can often lead to men displaying some gross misogyny, whether implicitly or explicitly.

My most recent experience with this came while watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians, of all things. The guy in question and I had come home after a long day of drinking to find my roommates watching the iconic E! show, and before too long, he made some comment about "thinking that Kylie wears too much makeup." Naturally, my claws came out faster than you can say "woman-hater" and I immediately said, "Well it's a good thing that nobody gives a damn what you think. Kylie doesn't wear makeup for you." The alcohol might have made me a little vicious, but I don't regret it at all. Sure, this guy is Southern and maybe hasn't been exposed to feminism as much as most guys I'm used to, but that's no excuse for ignorance and I wanted to give him a feminist education ASAP if we were going to keep dating.

If you want to make sure that a guy you're interested in respects women as human beings and doesn't think of us as delicate, emotional little flowers, be on the lookout for these signs. Here are 9 things that might slip out of the mouth of an undercover misogynist — heed my warning, ladies.

1. "Are you on the rag?"

Yes, my uterine lining sheds every month. No, that doesn't turn me into a literal vampire with her teeth bared ready to pounce on unsuspecting men at any moment. My menstrual cycle has nothing to do with you, and trying to boil down my moods, problems, or concerns to it being "my time of the month" is ignorant and hateful. Patting me on the head and giving me a tampon won't stop me from being pissed off that you're a misogynist, dude.

2. "I hate when you try to pay for our dates."


I would be completely lying if I said that I hate when guys offer to pay for me (hey, I'm a freelance writer living in NYC), and that doesn't make me a bad feminist. But when I offer to split the tab or pay the whole thing and the guy outwardly takes issue with it, that's a huge red flag. There's a difference between simply wanting to treat someone because you like them and genuinely feeling uncomfortable with a woman paying. Remember on Real World: Skeletons when Bruno literally freaked out at Carla for offering to pay for his haircut? Yeah, that's a classic case of misogyny. Avoid these guys at all costs if you want to be respected in other aspects of your relationship.

3. "You're acting crazy."

Utter those three little words and I will show you crazy. Women are too often dismissed as "crazy" for doing something strange called "exhibiting emotions." All men repeat after me: "I will never call a woman 'crazy' again. It is a bad thing to do and makes me seem ignorant. Amen."

4. "I just don't know if Hillary is really qualified to be president."

If you don't agree with Hillary's ideology, that's one thing. But it's a problem if a guy seems to take issue with Hillary simply because she's a lady. Her former title as First Lady doesn't make her any less qualified to be president, nor does the fact that she has a vagina instead of a penis. Hating on her because you think we "need a strong man to run the country" is, frankly, appalling. Please excuse me while I go and vomit.

5. "I like natural-looking girls."

And what exactly is this supposed to mean, anyways? A woman should never be shamed because she likes to dress up, wear a lot of makeup, or strut around in heels. I've noticed that catcalling increases tenfold for me if I happen to be wearing lipstick, which is a pretty strong indicator that a lot of men think that makeup is a flashing neon sign that says "I want you to notice me." Newsflash: Women wear makeup for all kinds of reasons, and "impressing men" is nowhere on that list. Every girl is "natural" and it makes you look stupid to proclaim that you're only attracted to women who don't wear makeup. Similarly, saying you prefer women who do wear a lot of makeup is also problematic. The bottom line: You don't get to have an opinion about how I choose to present myself to the world.

6. "You need to show me more respect."

I don't need to do anything you tell me to do, least of all show you respect that you haven't earned. Oh, you were born with a penis between your legs? Congratulations, no one gives a f*ck. How about, as a general rule, we all respect each other, regardless of gender? Acting entitled to being worshipped by women is extremely off-putting, and only the douchiest of guys would think that his status as a man earns him some kind of higher level of "being respected." There's a difference between a genuine concern that your partner isn't respectful of your wants and needs and ordering someone to respect your demands. The latter suggests that you think you're superior or that your partner owes you something because you're a man and she's a woman. Not cool, guys.

7. "Porn stars are all sluts."

First of all, no one is a slut. Calling a woman a slut because she has a lot of sex, talks openly about sex, has sex for money, et al. is a sure sign of misogyny. Men who are intimidated by women who own their sexuality are clearly immature and hateful. It's not a secret that slut-shaming is still a huge problem, and if a man uses that word to describe a porn star or any woman at all, you better believe I'm slamming the door on that relationship ASAP.

8. "Ugh, my boss is such a bitch."

In a similar vein, if a guy is intimidated by a woman in a position of power, that might be a sign that you should run away as fast as you can. There's a long-standing double standard about powerful women in the workplace, who are often called "bossy" or "bitchy" while male bosses are lauded for being "tough" or "firm." Sexism in the workplace is an issue for Millennials, too, and if a guy seems put-off because his boss is a woman, he clearly has some issues to work out.

9. "Women shouldn't be allowed to have abortions."

If a man doesn't respect a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body, then that's a serious issue. Sure, you yourself might be pro-life, but at the end of the day, it's your body and a man who is so quick to ascribe his ideals onto the bodies of women clearly doesn't understand that women's reproductive rights are just that — women's. Studies have found that sexists are more likely to be anti-abortion, so if a guy adamantly expresses his pro-life views to you, you might want to consider whether he really respects you as a human being.

Yeah, the tea party movement has directly challenged any semblance of intellectualism on the right. The bible-first governing/decision making is a big turnoff for much of the younger generation. Conservatives constantly shitting on colleges is also pretty dumb, considering the new generation of voter has much higher college attendance rates than ever, so they're alienating another big chunk there. Then there's the anti-science stigma, where armchair scientists try to discredit hundreds of academic papers, findings, and theories while not understanding high school level science themselves.

At some point with the millennials becoming a bigger portion of the voter pool with time, the current iteration of the republican party is going to cease to exist... political darwinism if you will.

When people begin to write articles that aren't so self serving, I might take them more seriously. It's like anytime you see an ESPN article concerning race it's Jemele or Scoop, both black people. When you see an article about misogyny, it's a female author.

Hillary's on staff says her instincts are terrible. I suppose that's because she's a female.

I wonder if Fuzzy masturbates then apologizes to his hand for being too rough.

conservatives? education? the very definition of rightwingnuts, Repug base is white, high school or less, and low-wage (manual), and not realizing that Repug/VRWC policies are why they are so screwed, killing their depressed, no-future white asses with guns, drugs, alcohol.

[pgardn]

Yeah, that was a pretty bad interview.

There was a time when was a time when one could make fairly accurate generalizations and not get jumped on. This, whatever you call it movement, now allows for the most absurd counter culture that feels as if it is impossible for conservatives to empathize.

Example: I personally think women make better physicians. It is possible that women (who factually bear children) actually are a bit more in tune with how people feel (genetic, socialization, a combination of reasons?). Bedside manner is important in helping ill people imo. An opinion. Just a simple opinion.

Now does the above mean all women make good doctors and men are unfeeling pigs? I don't think so. You want to argue I am making a horrible slant against males? Then have at it, it is possible "your" argument has merit.

So now conservatives feel like because they are being bashed badly, they can't even make any rational generalization without being called racist, misogynists, .... Well guess what? Conservatives created this idiocy by not condemning and setting the record straight. Conservatives let the angry anti intellectual base take the bat and the ball and run the game. The conservatives don't really have any popular thinkers to hash things out with the public because of this cowardly stance toward their off base, base.

Its frggn Megan Kelly! She is a conservative. Gingrich, the guy who also thinks with his penis, goes off into an absolute caveman mode. (Bill drums his fingers on the bed with a smile.) There are very good conservative principles that conservatives use to be able to tout. Now it all gets drowned out because Boots owns the game. Boots (read angry radical) can go off and now proclaiming that all conservatives are shit thinkers and Republicans are inherently shallow thinkers and this wind catches sail. Liberals do not own the ability to understand what women have to navigate due overly horny old men in positions of power that froth at the mouth like some frggn goat.

If if we are going to have a proper functioning system, the thinkers of both parties are going to have to be able set the table and let people decide. As it is now, the slime has the microphone.

Rant over.

[pgardn]

Add to this that 30-40% of the population is obviously very angry. Why? There might be some very legitimate reasons. Does it become popular to try and think about why? No. Boots owns the floor. They are just stupid. They did not go to college. End discussion.

"surveys have shown" that the anger dominating the revolt of the old, white Repug base is financial despair, not Christian, not racism.

That those Repug base revolutionaries think conman, grifter, fraud Trash is gonna help them financially is just more evidence PROVING they are stupid, ignorant, low-education, low-wage.

Taking care of yourself without having to rely on others is rewarding.
Two parents taking care of kids while teaching them that hard work and self determination can pay off in producing an individual who feels some sort of self worth through accomplishment (something an individual deems worthy).

Would you like me to continue? I am not saying these are exclusive to conservatives, I am saying they are stressed more often. Then I can also give you what I believe are liberal tenets that are also very agreeable to most Judeo-Christian teachings and to most people. Judeo-Christian ideas are clearly the driving force behind most of our laws. Rights of the individual, the belief in striving for human dignity, working together for the good of the whole,... on and on.

Take a very specific topic, abortion.

I perfectly understand the wish for government NOT to intervene in order to force a woman to have, or to abort, a baby (China example). But your inability to understand that there really are people who exist who truly believe aborting a perfectly normal fetus is a source of great despair happens to be perfectly understandable to me. You believe it's mostly the religious Right's attempt to punish women because they have had sex only intending on pleasure. So, make them have that baby as a lesson that actions have consequences. This evil conservative line makes it easy. Some conservatives make this easy for you. So This is your line for ALL of them. I believe there really are people who see this as a human life. I get this. You don't. You can't. You don't understand the difficulties when rationalizing (that every human being performs) becomes a source of sincerely great sadness and dread when the life of a pregnant mother is in danger or a child born with severe abnormalities suffers and dies. This actually really hurts some people. It's depressing for them.

You want black and white, just like the conservatives you deride. You want payback. You have trouble fathoming the very real human failings that cause us ALL to rationalize and that this rationalization creates some logical fallacy where one feels like a hypocrite. Yes, some seem much more blatant than others, but WE ALL succumb. And if we have not realized this, we are not thinking and lying to ourselves.

William Buckley, Barry Goldwater, Irving Kristol, George Will. All have written some specific points that are interesting and enlightening in trying to express conservative thought. All have also said some utterly baffling things that show some spontaneous meltdown or signs of senility.

Conservatives constantly shitting on colleges is also pretty dumb, considering the new generation of voter has much higher college attendance rates than ever, so they're alienating another big chunk there. Then there's the anti-science stigma, where armchair scientists try to discredit hundreds of academic papers, findings, and theories while not understanding high school level science themselves.

At some point with the millennials becoming a bigger portion of the voter pool with time, the current iteration of the republican party is going to cease to exist... political darwinism if you will.

Well said. Republicans are almost exclusively CINOs now. I especially want to point to the free trade deals so espoused by R leadership. Trickledown is a bald faced lie, at best, when companies can (or even must) purposely build "dams" and or reroute the flow of wealth so that traditional American laborers are altogether replaced.

No.

What about someone who actively brags about committing war crimes as a matter of policy once elected?

No need to brag about that....all you have to do is do it and your scum....

You played the game exactly as I stated.

So now you look in the mirror:
Boots called it payback after police were shot and killed randomly. Called the shooting of innocent people trying to protect the public from a possible mass shooter "payback"

Can you say in all sencerity that if you had grown up during Hitler's reign you would have never been a Nazi? Based on your posting here I think you would have made a fine Nazi. You are an ideologue who thinks the world is easy. You advocate for violence and retribution against innocents. You find scapegoats to satisfy your notions when it is highly possible that other factors have caused an event you find upsetting. You are very angry and get triggered easily. (You don't think there are cops who do want to diffuse situations, they are mostly pigs)

Your liberals please since they must be pristine. Go.
