Misandrist Suffers Misogyny

Here we go with the Hillary campaign pulling out the ultimate gender card: claiming that she is the victim of misogyny.

She tried the tactic of accusing her Democratic rivals of attacking her because she is a woman. That didn't work and she finally had to save face by stating accurately that she is being confronted on policy issues as well as her own inability to state a clear position simply because she in the lead.

But with Obama making a strong stand, and the Republicans appearing to be relishing the opportunity to run against her, the ultimate form of the gender card is now showing itself. Anyone that disagrees with her or, in essence, any man that will not vote for her, is a misogynist.

Of course, the story is built around these clubs that have formed on Facebook that should be viewed by any rational person as just some people having fun at the expense of a politician. This is a great tradition in American politics. Does anyone remember when the Democrats favorite saying was that the first Bush was born with a silver foot in his mouth or that he reminded women of their ex-husband?

Of course, some of this stuff is nasty. And the nastiness knows no gender boundries. But, Hillary Rodham has no humor, nor does her staff of gender feminists. Most importantly, they will play the role that gender feminists have used to attack men with things like the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA): claim victimhood. The hope, of course, is that men everywhere, especially Obama and then the Republican man that will likely be running against her, will shrink at the thought of being called misogynist.

The irony of this is that if there ever was a misandrist, Hillary is one. And, yet, her crew will use the misogynist label with abandon.

But, my guess is that, as with the gender card used before, the Hillary campaign is making this claim too early. It might have been effective if used in October 08, before Americans could have time to see through the it. But, having started so soon, most of the American public will have the time to see through the victim role she is playing.

People, and men in particular, dislike Hillary Rodham, not because they are misogynists, but be cause they know that deep down, she just doesn't like them.

McIver, Taste Your Medicine

Seattle Silly Council member Richard McIver is learning first hand the insanity he and hes political brethren have created through the gender politics behind domestic violence laws in Washington State.

A 911 dispatcher returned the call, left a message and then Kiner-McIver called 911 back seeking to cancel the call.

She said the fight had not been physical, charging documents say.

The dispatcher chastised Kiner-McIver for hanging up the first time and told her that domestic violence calls can't be undone. Kiner-McIver has said that she does not want to assist in the prosecution of her husband.

"My client's position has been, and remains, that she will not cooperate in the prosecution of her husband," her attorney, Vonda Sargent, said Wednesday.

Prosecutors said Kiner-McIver has been served with a subpoena to testify and they are prepared to take McIver to trial.

So, McIver, are you getting the idea now of what it is like to be up against a system that forces you to prove innocence instead of the state having to prove your guilt? Are you happy now about your fanatical support of these gender feminist misandrist laws?

And, by the way, shame on you for hitting your wife. In your case, unlike the vast majority, you probably do deserve to be punished.

Sorry, but this is fun to watch.

Perugia

This is about as ugly as it gets. A young woman killed in a violent sex crime.

What are the visions that automatically come to mind? A big, mean, misogynistic man, raping and then killing. But, back up for a minute. At the center of this case is a female Seattle college student studying abroad in Italy. And, no, she is not the victim. She is the perpetrator.

The description of what happened is horrid and I’ll leave that to Newsweek. What is not covered, not in Seattle’s ideologically oppressed newspapers, nor in the national press, is the fact that domestic and sexual violence are not the sole purview of men. This is not what the gender feminist ideologists would have you believe.

Take Nicole Brodeur, the simple minded, gender feminist “columnist” the Seattle Times gives newspaper space and a paycheck to preach her ideology. She says “No Easy Answers in Perugia.” [Perugia is the Italian town where Amanda Knox raped and murdered a British exchange student]. One would think with a title like that, Brodeur may have stepped back and questioned some of her misandrist ideology. Instead, the best she can come up with is blaming the University of Washington for not overseeing their exchange students. Even after noting:

Indeed, such crimes occur stateside. Last month in Boston, a Wellesley student allegedly broke into her ex-boyfriend's dorm room at MIT and stabbed him seven times.

The usual tactic. A smoke screen put up to distract from the acts of a violent and sexually perverse woman. Always find a way to make her a victim. Even when she is a sadistic murderer.

The Mother of All Stupid Propositions

When you look closely at Proposition 1 – the “Roads and Transit” package on the ballot – and then read the emotive claims of politicians and planners about how carefully they choose the projects, you have to wonder what metropolitan region they are actually living in. What planet they are on, for that matter.

The Seattle Times, which recommends a “no” vote on Proposition 1, does a very good job at breaking down the taxes, the funds, the projects, and the time-lines here. The first and most obvious thing you see is what you don’t see. What have been the major transportation issues in our region in the past few years? The Alaskan Way Viaduct. The 520 floating bridge. And, most notably, just generally miserable traffic congestion.

The Alaskan Way Viaduct is not even mentioned. Thanks Mayor Nipples for making the Viaduct an untouchable subject. Only partial funding is provided for the 520 floating bridge and there is no definition of where the additional funds will come from. And, what about general traffic congestion relief? Well, apparently that will be solved by forcing everyone onto light rail, the lines for which will be completed a generation from now. In fact, such a large majority of the money to be raised is allocated to light rail that it’s a joke to include the word “roads” in the title of Proposition 1.

I have to admit that even I, as cynical as I am about Seattle and King County, found myself surprised after finally looking closely at this ghastly expensive Proposition. Why is it so difficult for this area’s politicians and planners to do first things first?

I can’t answer that question except to say that this is the product of single party rule for all of these long years. These people have gotten themselves so twisted up in their ideology and own dogma that they can’t see straight.

In any case, for once, the Seattle Times gets it right. This Proposition is lunacy. And while the populace of the Seattle Metropolitan area generally seems to enjoy and vote for lunacy, they back up pretty damned quick when it hits them in the pocketbook. Especially with regard to property taxes.

So, Proposition 1 will thankfully fail. One would hope that out of the ashes would come some focus on the most pressing projects, but that’s not likely, as we seem to go from the absurd to the more absurd to the just plain dumb. I’d expect the next round, in about 5 years, to include even less for roads and a plan for extending light rail to Spokane.

But, not to worry. The Seattle Silly Council is busy working on a plan to put us all on bicycles. In the rain. And, as if to accentuate the nature of all of this nonsense, Mayor Nickels and the Silly Council have declared today to be JP Patches Day. He was a clown.
