How are the #ShirtStorm Feminists Doing in their Twitter Crusade?

Um, not well. Near the beginning of the conflict that has played out, about two days ago, one of the principal feminists behind the storm, Dr. Janet Stemwedel, a Philosophy professor in San Francisco, wrote up a brief bit of propaganda  on “Storify” for “science guys” to help them understand what was going on and what was at stake. If women like Dr. Stemwedel represent most women, as she claims with some authority, then you would expect her Storify blurb, which has been prominently featured on the very active #shirtstorm and #shirtgate hashtag threads for two days, to have about a 50% favorability rating in terms of “likes” accumulated; perhaps more if men support her thesis, as well. Let’s see how it’s doing.
DammitJanet
At the time of this writing, 4 of the over 6000 viewers “liked” her little visual presentation about how academic interpretations of “women’s experiences” should drive policy on just about everything.  By my calculation, that’s a percentage of… oh dear… 0.06%.  That’s essentially zero.  More than the likely number of accidental clicks.  In my limited blogging experience, I have never seen a comment or an opinion by any troll who is intentionally trying to upset people and who is viewed by 6000 people get fewer than dozens of “likes.”  Nobody knows why, but even the vilest internet trolls get more likes than this.  This message is profoundly unpopular.  If you want to know why, you can go to her Twitter feed here and see if you can figure out why she is still employed in academia and allowed to claim that she represents women everywhere.

ESA Comet Lander Fails to Anchor, Perched on Cliff, But the REAL Story Turns Out to be Criminal Sexism Among ESA Rocket Scientists

Philae
First appeared at the Blog of Monte Cristo.
The world’s first spacecraft to land on a comet has apparently become merely the first craft to ‘bounce’ off of a comet and settle into a precarious perch on a dark comet cliff where it’s batteries may not be able to recharge enough to keep it alive for more than a few days. The European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission has succeeded in depositing it’s lander, called Philae, on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumox-Gerasimenko Wednesday. The world awaits word on whether this spectacular accomplishment will yield precious data about the comet in coming days.  It may be that very little can be saved after the craft failed to anchor to the comet as planned.

But that has not kept the international community from finding something else gossip-worthy about the mission.  It seems that the wild shirt worn by a British member of the ESA operations team during the landing and a press interview has caused feminists everywhere to start shrieking uncontrollably.  I’m not sure why.  See one of the more insanity-inducing tweets here. Make sure you read the smug comments. They’re a scream.

The Democrat’s Hate-Filled War on Minority Women

Scratch a Leftist and you will find not only a racist, but also a misogynist.  After Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a “slut”, President Obama phoned Fluke to “send a message to his daughters and all women” that they shouldn’t be “attacked or called horrible names because they are being good citizens.” Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. That’s why he’s repeated his personal condolence calls to Conservative women who have been attacked or called horrible names. Oh wait. No, he hasn’t. Ever.

Nikki Haley is the first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina. She is also the first non-Euro-American woman to have been elected as governor of a Southern state. At the age of 42, Haley is also the youngest current governor in the United States and one of only two of Indian ethnicity, the other being fellow Republican Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. If she weren’t a Republican, the Identity Politicians on the Left would lurve her. But you know them. Women and members of melanin-rich ethnic minorities are heroic servants of the people if they’re Democrat, but self-haters and sell-outs if they’re Republican.

  • May 2011: SC Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian called Haley “the gubernatorial equivalent of the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey.'”
  • April 2012: Harpootlian complained about Haley campaigning for Romney when she should have been governing, then likened her to the Kardashians and Snooki for publishing an autobiography when she allegedly had not yet “accomplished anything significant.”
    • I think he could have more appropriately likened her to Barack Obama, who didn’t do his job as Senator because he was too busy campaigning in 2008, and who has spent a great deal of time since campaigning and fund-raising instead of governing.  Plus, Obama published an autobiography right after graduating from college … unless Harpootlian thinks that a black man graduating from college is a significant enough accomplishment to warrant a 464 page autobiography?  Cuz that wouldn’t be even a little bit racist. ::snort::
  • May 2012: The political director of South Carolina’s Senate Democratic Caucus labeled Nikki Haley the “Sikh Jesus” and warned heatedly that “her daddy wears a turban around Lexington and her mommy has a ruby between her head.”
  • September 2012: The AFL-CIO president smashed a Nikki Haley pinata and kept whacking at it, to cheers of “Smash her again!”, until the pinata was demolished. Isn’t it good to see Democrats demonstrating against violence against women using a baseball bat? ::coughcrosshairscough::

  • November 2012: Harpootlian likened Governor Haley to Hitler’s mistress, Eva Braun, and said Haley prefers South Carolina have bad schools, because only uneducated people would elect someone like her. [Project much, Mr. Democrat Person?]
  • May 2013: Harpootlian said he wished Haley would go “back to wherever the hell she came from.” That would be her hometown of Bamberg, South Carolina, but one must wonder what the Lefties would have made of a Republican saying those words about a non-white Democrat. Dog whistles anyone?
  • This past week, Democrat SC State Senator Vincent Sheheen said of his opponent Republican SC Governor Nikki Haley, “We’re going to escort whore out the door.” Then he corrected himself and said, “We’re going to escort her out the door.” His campaign said it was his accent and/or he just misspoke and see how he corrected himself? Yes, I did. I also saw how he and his audience snickered and how he then said, “You gotta tell the truth.”

2014_10 Dem calls opponent a whore

This reminds me of all those times Obama was “just scratching an itch” when he raised his middle finger while mentioning an opponent in a speech. His audiences laughed and he snickered and mugged too. So maybe Sheheen planned to call Haley a “whore” or maybe it really was a Freudian slip. Still … once he had done it and gotten a laugh, he seemed delighted to go along with it. Watch the video and see.

Michelle Malkin said she was sorry Rush called Fluke a “slut”, but noted that “‘slut’ is one of the nicer things I’ve been called over 20 years of public life. In college during the late 1980s, it was ‘race traitor’, ‘coconut’ (brown on the outside white on the inside) and ‘white man’s puppet’. After my first book, ‘Invasion’, came out in 2001, it was ‘immigrant-hater’, the ‘Radical Right’s Asian Pitbull’, ‘Tokyo Rose’ and ‘Aunt Tomasina’. In my third book, 2005′s ‘Unhinged’, I published entire chapters of hate mail rife with degrading, unprintable sexual epithets and mockery of my Filipino heritage.”

If you can stand to see more examples of the Democrat’s War on Conservative Women … here are some compiled by Lori Ziganto:

  • “What about saying she’s a wh*re?” – Jerry Brown and aide in reference to Meg Whitman
  • “You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote!” – Democrat Congresswoman State Rep. Janis Sontany (D-TN)
  • “She works the pole” (as in stripper pole) – Joe Scarborough about Jerri Thompson
  • “She performed [redacted sexual act] on all the talk show hosts in Milwaukee” – John Sylvester, WDTY about Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch
  • “She’s a balloon head” – Chris Matthews, MSNBC in reference to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann
  • “Christian Stepford wife in a ‘sexy librarian’ costume” — “hardcore pornographic centerfold spread.” – Salon, about Sarah Palin
  • “Vote for only ‘authentic’ female candidates” – Patricia Ireland of N.O.W.
  • “Sarah Palin is Pat Buchanan in drag” – Eleanor Clift, in Newsweek
  • “Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.” – Wendy Doniger, The Washington Post
  • “Do you cheer if the (glass) ceiling is crashed by two conservative businesswomen?” – Slate
  • “I feels as if all these women winning are kind of a blow to feminism.” – Tina Brown, Daily Beast on Good Morning America
  • “Sarah Palin’s Mama Grizzlies are merely the latest incarnation of the anti-women’s movement — a movement to oppose real solutions for women, dressed up in a skirt and lipstick, as if to legitimize their efforts to block progress.” – Alternet
  • “She may be a lady, but she ain’t no woman” – Salon, in reference to Sarah Palin

None of this should be surprising coming from the party that removed any mention of God from their platform, cheered more for abortion than for national security, compared Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan to Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, and declared loudly that all our rights are granted to us by the government, not the other way around as the Declaration and Constitution clearly state.

Obama Drone in Hollywood

2014_10 09 Paltrow Obama drone

Here’s what TMZ wrote:

The idiocy of Hollywood was in full bloom Thursday night when Gwyneth Paltrow turned an already-embarrassing Hollywood fundraiser into “The Dating Game.”

Paltrow — who hosted the event at her Brentwood home — gushed as she introduced President Obama, “You’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly.”

She then showed utter ignorance about, and contempt for, the Constitution and separation of powers — the basic tenets of our government — by saying, “It would be wonderful if we were able to give this man all of the power that he needs to pass the things that he needs to pass.”

It’s the latest example of how demeaning it has become for Presidents to act like circus animals — performing for crowds that will feed them … in this case, feed them with money to line political coffers.

It’s revolting that celebrities and other rich people feel such a need for self-importance — contributing money but ONLY if they can have their picture taken with the president and tell their friends they had dinner with him. If they’re so committed to him, just send him a check and let him stay in Washington and do his job.

Fact is … it has little to do with Obama. It’s about how the celebrity circus has sullied the Presidency of the United States.

As Iowahawk put it, “When even TMZ is embarrassed by a display of ‘Hollywood idiocy’, we’ve hit the Final Frontier of idiocy.”  Indeed.

In a particularly dim-witted remark, Paltrow said that, as a working mom, it is especially important to her that Obama be allowed to close the [alleged, mythical, often debunked] “wage gap.”

Straight Talk About The Wage Gap [2:59]

One can totes see how a mega-millionaire hosting a glitterati fund-raiser in her $10 million American estate would really NEED Obama’s help to get her fair share. (Tickets to the affair started at $1,000.)

I’m thinking Paltrow probably has some staff keeping those 8 bathrooms all spic and span and somehow I just have the teensiest weensiest bit of doubt that she pays the toilet scrubber the same as she pays the chef, the chauffeur or the gardener. I am also a tad skeptical that her staff’s minimum wage is $15 per hour or that she includes full health and dental in her employee packages. But that’s just me. Maybe the staff at her London home gets a better deal, since THAT mansion is not in stinky old racist, backwards, imperialistic, Obama-should-be-king-of America.

Holly Hobby Lobby

When Holly Fisher vented on Twitter about how she lost her baby’s pediatric cardiologist thanks to Obamacare, the Always-Tolerant, Ever-Caring “It’s For The Children” Leftists declared her a hate target.

If you find this confusing, please remember that Lefties consider only other Lefties to be REAL in any way. In their teensy weensy little minds, Conservative women are not Real Women, so making rape and death threats against them doesn’t count as making War On Women.

One of them said as much to Holly: “Conservatives aren’t human to me. They’re subhuman scum with no hearts or souls.

Earlier this week, Holly had some fun, tweeting a photo of herself wearing a Pro-Life T-shirt and enjoying a drink from Chick-fil-A while standing in the parking lot of a Hobby Lobby. It got 5 MILLION likes in just one day. Holly also got tweeted a lot. Kudos and thumbs up from the “subhuman scum” and the usual round of hate-filled verbal sewage from the tolerance police.

Hysterical GOP candidate response to Dumbocrat attack

The following is from an article at Catholic Vote:

Democrat Rep. Gary Peters of suburban Detroit is normally a very strong campaigner. But he’s having a tougher time than expected as he tries to win the Senate seat of retiring Democrat Carl Levin.

To help him sagging poll numbers, Peters thought he would bring back the “war on women” campaign tactic that proved very successful for Democrats in 2012.

Surely you remember the faux “war or women.” This is where feminists and Democratic candidates went before tv cameras and aired commercials asserting that if Republicans like Mitt Romney won women would somehow be unable to purchase contraception anymore.

What?!?

The Pill has been readily available at every corner drug store for over 50 years. Contraception has even been subsidized by state and federal governments for decades.

No political candidate has suggested making the Pill illegal.

We expect politicians to lie, but the “war on women” attack has got to be the most disingenuous political attack of the last 50 years.

If you don’t favor forcing businesses to offer contraception as a free benefit to employees, then somehow you are “anti-woman” and you want to make contraception illegal.

It’s a total lie. But it worked in 2012. So Gary Peters went for this attack and called his opponent “anti-woman.”

The only problem? Gary Peters’ opponent is a woman.

And Terri Lynn Land refused to let this garbage attack go unanswered. She pounced on Peters’ nonsense talk with a very clever ad of her own.

Terri Lynn Land’s reply to Gary Peters’ attack < FUNNY!

This Democrat called his opponent anti-woman. You have to watch the response.

Jan Schakowsky: Foot Soldier in the Democrat War on Women

2014_03 22 Schakowsky lies for Obamacare

Dana Loesch tweets in response to Schakowsky’s lie:

  • @janschakowsky How is it empowering to lie to us? Offensive to assume females are that stupid.
  • @janschakowsky Are you misleading women because you don’t know the law? Or is this a malicious lie? Which?
  • It represents women horribly for @janschakowsky to exploit them with propaganda. Women deserve better.
  • “Oh no! March 31 is coming and we are millions short of our goal! Better scare us up some wimmins to enroll!”
  • “It’s Women’s History Month. No better way to honor women than by assuming they’re all idiots and will believe our healthcare lies.”
  • “It’s Women’s History Month. Let’s celebrate women’s independence from men by making them pay for things we can buy ourselves.”

The indisputable Pro-Choice argument

Progressivism

In his recent blog “I am afraid of this indisputable pro-choice argument”, Matt Walsh responds to an email that claims to blow his Pro-Life position out of the water.

Rachel emailed to him, “If you had the guts or the brains you’d try to respond to the most important abortion rights argument … bodily autonomy or bodily integrity. This means that we have the final jurisdiction over our own bodies. … A fetus must survive on a woman’s body so the woman has a right to withdrawal her consent and her body at any time. This is the pro-choice argument that no anti-choice fanatic … especially one as stubborn and simpleminded as you … could ever possibly dispute.”

Matt responds with ten points that are so logical and clear, I must only refer you to the original. To whet your appetite, here is a quick sample of his snarky wit and his ten talking points:

Dear Rachel,

You’re right. You win. I have no response. I can’t think of any reason why you’re wrong about any of the points you raised.

Well, I can’t think of any reason — except for, like, ten reasons.

  1. Relationships are relevant.
  2. Situations are relevant.
  3. Your own argument defeats itself.
  4. Natural order matters.
  5. Withdrawing life support is nothing like actively killing a healthy unborn child.
  6. You must allow pregnant women to do whatever they please, no matter how it may harm her unborn child.
  7. You must allow abortion at every stage of development.
  8. You must allow people to abandon or murder any child that makes unpleasant demands on them.
  9. You must allow a range of other offensive and dangerous behaviors, like men who want to masturbate in front of chilren at a playground.
  10. We are not autonomous beings. We live in a complex society that requires us to use our bodies in many ways. If you concede that we ought to be expected or even required to do certain things, then you are placing limits on our bodily autonomy.

If you place limits on our bodily autonomy, then you are admitting that limits can be placed on our bodily autonomy. Personally, I think that abortion goes well beyond the limits on bodily autonomy, for all of the reasons I’ve previously stipulated.
