Complimenting Chicks, Cursing JudgesRenew America, one of our favorite wingnut sites, has some fun new columns up. First, let's hear from Selwyn Duke, "tennis professional, internet entrepreneur, and writer whose works have appeared on various sites on the Internet, including Intellectual Conservative and Mensnet." (Anybody whose work has appeared on the prestigious Internet undoubtedly knows what he's talking about.)
So, what reaction to Selwyn's genius remark designates a girl as prospective wife material? He never says. My guess is that she smiles indulgently, says, "Oh, you!" and then gives him oral sex. Or maybe she smiles gratefully, says, "Thank you, my lord," and makes him dinner. Anyway, the rest of the piece is just about how women have such big egos these days that they get mad when you imply that they can't do stuff as well as men can. However, if Selwyn says he can beat his 95-year-old aunt at tennis any day of the week, it doesn't mean that he has a big ego, it's just a statement of fact. So, women should just accept that men are the better athletes and go make bake some cookies or something.
And then the two of you can live happily ever after in the year 1958.
"Failing the test" presumably means that she beats you to a pulp for your remark. In which case, you probably should run, because speed is the only thing you have going for you. P.S. For another view on feminism, check out Pete's coverage of another Internet Sage opining on the age-old question, Should Women Be Allowed to Vote? While there (The Dark Window), you can also learn Pete's patented secret to winning a woman's heart, Shopping at Newsmax. (And if you read the comments to that piece, you can read Mr. Frederick Beat Bush Blog's secret to winning a woman's heart: making fun of her spelling.) Now, here's our old friend Jen "Pinky" Shroder, who is trying to impeach a judge for unbiblical rulings. Jen curses the judge too, as the Bible demands.
Yup, it's now legal to rip a full-term baby from its mother's womb 15 minutes before it was going to make its way through the birth canal, and then slaughter it, just because the mother suddenly decided that she didn't want a child.
The rest of Jen's column is a rather incoherent mixture of Biblical verses and gibberish. but I was curious about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's plan to lower the age of consent to 12. So, I followed Jen's link, which took me to an article by WorldNetDaily's Joseph Farrah which condemned Ginsburg for giving a speech to The American Constitution Society ("a highly partisan, political extremist organization with an agenda not to support the U.S. Constitution, but to undermine its most basic precepts"). Nothing there about 12-year-olds and sex. So, where did Jen get this idea? Well, a little googling revealed that it's been floating around wingnut circles for about a year or so now. I finally found the following citation, which is also floating around out there without any attribution, but which everybody accepts as evidence of Ginsburg's plan to corrupt kids):
But I couldn't find a copy of "Sex Bias in the U.S. Code" to verify this for myself, nor could I find a copy of The Phyllis Schlafly Report, Vol. 26, No. 12. I did find Phyllis claiming that Ginsburg wrote "Sex Bias in the U.S. Code," and that this publication advocated lots of horrible stuff, like letting women into serve in combat zones, and no longer requiring a husband to "support his wife and provide her with a home." I even found a piece where Phyllis claimed that Ginsburg opposed the Mann Act, "because it 'was meant to protect weak women from bad men,' which she believed was demeaning to women" But I couldn't find anything where Phyllis claimed that Ginsburg advocated letting adults have sex with 12-year-olds. I found another anti-ERA article which indicated that:
But this article also failed to mention the women's insidiuous plan lower the age of jailbait to 11. I finally found the "Knight and York" mentioned above -- they are Frank V. York and Robert H. Knight, and they wrote a reasoned and scientific piece about gay pedophiles and their designs for your son called "Homosexual Activists Work To Normalize Sex With Boys" (it's included in this handy pamphlet Homosexual Behavior & Pedophilia). The above ellipsed citation is in their footnotes. But it doesn't indicate which law it is that Ginsburg meant to ammend with her suggestion. So, I searched for the phrase "carnal knowledge of any female, not his wife, who has not attained the age of 16 years." I found a law -- it's part of the statutes regulating Indian affairs (Section 1153), and it indicates that an Indian who commits various crimes, to include carnal knowledge of a female under 16, within "Indian country" shall be subject to the same laws and penalties as anybody else committing the offenses within the jurisdiction of the United States. It's the ONLY federal law I could find that uses this phrase. Would Ginsburg and Feigen-Fasteau really have claimed that, in order to eliminate sex bias in federal law, Indians should be allowed to have sex with 12-year-olds in Indian Country? Maybe, but I find it hard to believe. I suspect that this is another case of a couple of anti-gay wingnuts making creative use of a Phyllis Schlafly screed in order to claim that pedophiles were on the verge of winning a legal battle to seduce your kids into homosexuality. And that the rest of the wingnuts found this citation a year or two ago and ran with it. So, what is the lesson of all of this? That Jen Shroder is pretty gullible, and that Selwyn Duke is awfully annoying ... for a girl. 9:22:05 AM |
"A hard female voice rings warningly across the playground"TBOGG's monitor died, thus delaying his report on America's Worst Mother™ (a trademark of TbogganymicsCo). We don't have any proof that Meghan is behind the monitor business, but you have to admit that it's odd that this would happen on the very day her column is scheduled to be mocked. Anyway, because we're beneath the scope of Meghan's vast conspiracy, we'll provide a brief summary of "Boys Will Be...Reprimanded" to hold you until Tbogg can give the story the treatment it desevers (which is whatever he feels like giving it). *** This week Meghan takes her four cherubs (Bathsheba, Pekahiah, Colonoscopy, and Dubyetta) to the playground for some biffing. While there, Meghan encounter A WORSE MOTHER THAN HER! Or so she claims. Here's Meghan's description:
MacKenzie's mother doesn't want her kid to steal lunches from other kids. What a harridan! This proves that she is a horrible mother, and probably competent! Why can't she be more like Meghan, who beams indulgently at Pekahiah while he teases some toddlers?
But Meghan, who hates pacifism almost as much as she detests other women, refuses to enforce community standards -- because they are unfair to boys. See, Meghan believes that boys are unfairly picked on in our society, and never allowed to be the hyperactive, violent, messy, brats that nature intended them to be. (Meghan seems to share this philosophy with her friend Danielle Crittenden, who writes in her novelAmanda Bright in Hell about how none of the stupid liberal mothers whom Amanda hung out with would invite her little Meneleus for play dates. But they didn't understand that boys are supposed to hit other kids, and their attitude was just a manifestation of our feminized society -- and not a sign that Meneleus is a rotten kid destined for the gallows.) Anyway, MacKenzie's father shows up (unlike Pekahiah's father), and tries to make his kid give back the lunch box. However, Meghan's accusations of bad parenting are still directed at his mother.
As Meghan is forced to observe further instances of MacKenzie's "persecution" (his mother warns him that if somebody wants to use the slide, he'll have to move), she is reminded that she read Sister Carrie in college. While Meghan presumably couldn't care less about Carrie, she undoubtedly blames Hurtswood's mother for everything that befalls him. So, is MacKenzie's mother worse than Meghan? While she does seem (from Meghan's account) to be overly restrictive, she is at least attentive and concerned about her child. And maybe she's aware of a recent study which shows that bratty boys are more likely to grow up to be physically aggressive men.
Which I would imagine that Meghan would just attribute to teens being teens, and then men being men. Anyway, I will concede that there probably are worse mothers than Meghan. Like Ma Barker. However, contrary to the popular picture of her, Ma Barker really didn't lead a gang of super criminals and plan their capers -- reportedly J. Edgar Hoover just started that story to explain why the Bureau killed a short, dumpy old woman. But Ma wasn't a good mother. She did raise four sons who grew up to be criminals. As Biography.com explains:
Sound like any other mothers we've read about? But so far, Meghan's children haven't made the FBI's Most Wanted list (as far as we know), so she's probably just America's Worst Living Mother®. 4:43:02 AM |
