3. Poor misguided freepers.
Don't they know the joke's on them? The Swedes don't have Bushpig as a President. They are truly blessed.

The Freeptards ask, "WHY OH WHY do the Liberals hate America?"

Ahhh...maybe because ignorant, bigoted, toothless mouth-breathing Freep-fucks like yourselves are polluting it with your stupidity?

Those guys are just angry and jealous because women are getting off without a man's permission and participation.

And did you see the comment about "I wonder what the birthrate is over in Sweden?" Well, I wonder if any of those idiots at FR realize that the higher a nation's population and birthrate, the higher the POVERTY LEVEL. Overpopulation = Poverty and Rampant Disease, and NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES TO GO AROUND.

It's not a contest to see who can overpopulate their country the fastest, and suck up all its natural resources!

While it angers the Freepers that all women on planet Earth haven't made it their sole purpose in life to spawn until their uteruses fall out, they'll have to get over it.

Isn't it funny how they not only want to take away a woman's control over her own body here in America, but they want to make it a global assault?

Ah, actually, come to think of it, it isn't funny at all.

What a bunch of depraved wastes of life those fools are.

4. Oh, I love you, Vek!
:loveya: What was most insulting was the feminists equal terrorists crap! Feminists are usually non-violent as was the case in the article. And the WTF is wrong with asking for rights even in Sweden?

7. There's nothing wrong
with anything those feminists are doing. Nothing at all. I imagine that the Freepers would see feminists as terrorists. They see anyone who does not agree with their fucked up fundie platform as a "terrorist."

10. There is something fucked up with calling all feminists ugly and
lesbians. As if there is anything wrong being lesbian or if women don't look like Playboy models they are ugly. Those photos of the women look just like every day women taken at an unflattering angle, but still...

16. I'm a feminist. And damn good looking by most standards...
If I do say so myself. :-) In fact, I live in a Repuke redneck town, and get hit on by Freeper types daily. I'm sure they'd love to know I'm a feminist, liberal, French, Democratic Kerry lover from Massachusetts!

Actually - it helps the wounded ego of a weak little freeper to call any woman who refuses to bow to the Reich Wing line of thinking "ugly."

It's not even based in reality.

I know a lot of lesbians and feminists, and there isn't an ugly one in the bunch. Not even close.

Ashley Judd, one of the most beautiful women EVER was photographed for Glamour magazine in a t-shirt that read "This is what a feminist looks like."

She's a staunch feminist, and a raving beauty to boot.

23. Yes they are. I used to wish I could be one!
I was pretty fed up with the male dating pool, and thought life might be easier if I were a lesbian, because the women I knew were great and the men, well, not so great. I finally met a terrific guy I could live with (and married him) but for a while I had lost hope.

24. Well you might still be bisexual? Some like Adrienne Rich say
that there is a bit of the lesbian spirit in all feminists. We should embrace it and not deny it. What I like about you other DUers is that you all are not defensive about being straight when talking about gay people. You really appreciate and respect queers. Thanks! :hug:

27. Nope, sadly there was never even a hint of attraction.
I couldn't even work up the desire to consider it. I really tried. I just couldn't "feel it."

I am cursedly straight, which used to REALLY piss me off when the available men were all sorely lacking.

I really love women for their strength, altruism, and perseverance, but I just don't feel the sex part.

:shrug:

9. el, you have to read "The Wimp Factor"
I am reading it now and touting it all over the place here.

Its an in depth psychological analysis of forces that shape patriarchy, from individual separation anxieties in male children, to political conflation of power with masculinity (hint: phallus=good. No phallus, or worse, women who emasculate=bad)

11. Must read! Indeed, I started reading "Backlash" by Faludi
Also I hate when some people (including Dems)refer to Democrats as "emasculated." Also I HATED the pink tutu picture. As if women/and or homosexuals are not strong and dynamic leaders!

15. ooowee. Yeah, This is one of my hotbutton subjects
This and pronatalism. and overpopulation, but that sort of goes hand in hand with pronatalism.

Backlash is great, yes, it will make you foam at the mouth. Grrrrrrrrrr.

I hate that to have balls is good and powerful and respected, even being applied to strong women who speak up. Schoolmasters are powerful competent men, while schoolmarms are pruney, puritanical, ineffectual, laughable old ladies. Ahem. anything female is denigrated...etc. Oh its too late for a rant right now. but the ingrained filters most of us have on make it really tough to challenge sexism. Hell, its part of the language.

ugh.
I better get to bed, dammit.

6. Vektor, I love you too
I am so on the same page with you.

And the overpopulation thing---ugh its not just the drooling gun toting unibrows who think babies, babies and more babies are the answer to all women's needs. Overpopulation=Poverty and Disease and Crime too. The fucking romanticization of a choice that is not right for everyone and sadly, can be so easily achieved (birthing them I mean, not raising them THAT takes skills that not everyone has)

And the global assault--turdweasel did that his first day in office. If women mattered, people would have seen from day one that this admin is totally evil

How could I forget crime? Please do add that to the long list of ills brought on by overpopulation.

Oh, and: "Turdweasel."

12. Overpopulation is hell. We are living it. It is a miracle that there
is even safe birth control in some parts of this country not to mention, parts of Africa or India! ;(

13. while fresh faced young Xtians with missionary zeal
go to Uganda and other parts of Africa to pressure the people with Jaysus and abstinence-only programs, women there beg "please, I just want to stop haveing babies. Please just give me birth control." Men assume the right to women's bodies, even more so than here and women have less access to ANY kind of protection. From what I understand.

14. Sad. To me the Christian thing to do would be to give them birth
control and protection from AIDS, like medicine! Actually had missionaries in my family, so I think is some respects they DO help, but in that respect it is mostly awful. I am glad I belong to a Church (Episcopalian) whose hierarchy actually approves of birth control (Since Aug 15, 1933) and abortion in cases of rape/incest (since around 1967). But some of them fundies are scary and they are the most numerous group and give missionaries a bad name!

19. bigtime!
I read one report where a group of missionaries arrived, tried to convert the people, the people wouldn't have it, but sure were hungry.

The missionaries left. With the food.


May they receive their karmic reward swiftly and in direct proportion to their evil, ignorance and hypocrisy.

26. just a small note here...
I gotta add somewhere that Sweden repeatedly ranks in the top three for infant/mother outcomes - re: births. the US come in anywhere between 20th and 26th (I haven't seen the 2004 data yet) and that's on a worldwide scale. but we have the best medical system in the world, right?

(psst, they chalk it up to prenatal care, midwifery, homebirth, and extended, at-home postpartum care, all part of a national healthcare system!)

30. Oh. My. God.
To: El Conservador
This is a good example why our society is going down the slippery slope.
The Feminist movement and the Gay agenda is just as dangerous if not more than the war on terror.
I would put the feminist and Gays in the same category as the terrorist on 9/11.
Feminism and Homosexuality is purely evil and demonic.
The feminist and the Homosexuals are nothing but pawns in the hands of satan, and will be the major driving force that will usher in the anti Christ.
