Dear Serena Joy Ann Coulter,
If you are of the opinion that women should not vote, you are welcome to stop voting at any time. And, for that matter, doing anything to support the Republican party.
Love Regards Signed,
Zuzu

Ann Coulter is still allowed to publish things?
Haha, you win! I only have to deal with the embarrassment of Allison Kasic.
Isn’t she single?
And a woman?
And voting stupidly?
Maybe she has a point?
(Single women = stupid, and married women = smart? Because a wedding gown has magical intelligence fibers? Or because married women vote the way their husbands tell them to, and men are smart?)
She’s certainly *registering* stupidly, what with the registering in a district she doesn’t live in thing.
You missed some HTML tags, zuzu:

One more try with a different tag:

in my alumni magazine.Is that an allusion to The Handmaid’s Tale I detect?
I find it increasingly difficult to understand how this woman could have written “best-sellers”…
Zuzu,
I share your pain. Sometimes, I still cannot believe another prominent right-wing anti-civil liberties polemicist attended my alma-mater…
But … wait. Democrats have been elected presidents before women even GOT the vote in America. How … no, wait, I’m trying to make sense of Ann Coulter again. *headslap*
How low have you stooped when you’re ripping off V-x D-y? He made this argument ages ago.
She doesn’t even make any sense. She first blames single women for Democratic victories, then says it’s those demanding soccer moms (wanting healthcare! oh woe!) messing things up – someone better tell her that the stereotypes of “soccer mom” and “single woman” are traditionally polar opposites. Or maybe she intended to blame all women for being, well, women.
Maybe what she really wanted to say is that she is not a woman. Becuase she certainly wouldn’t be saying her dream would be to not have that pesky responsibility of voting…
Oh, and the Coultergeist went to my alma mater too (Cornell), but at least I haven’t seen her featured in my alumni mag – I think there might be a riot if they did.
Well, duh, that was before the stupid broads came along and feminized politics. Before then, the manly men voted for manly men. NO SISSIES ALLOWED.
*sigh*
hard to believe that a republican congress passed that amendment. and some say it had a lot more to do with race than gender, I think at the time it was considered preferable for white women to vote instead of black men.
I went to college with Jonah Goldberg. of course, he finished and I didn’t…the only interesting thing is that we were both in the first (second?) co-ed class admitted to an historically women’s college.
Can’t we vote her off the team or something? Shun her? Exile her from all things woman?
Traitor.
The ONLY good thing about women not being allowed to vote would be that we’d never have to listen to Ann Coulter’s stupidity again. Because who cares what that woman thinks, woman aren’t even allowed to vote. (She is aware she’d be out of a job, right? What a moron.)
She has to be doing/saying all of this for the money. I mean, that would explain it, right?
You poor thing! Even mailboxes aren’t safe.
I claim the prize for worst alma mater wingnut affiliations. Oberlin College (Malkin) and Mich law.
Kind of off topic kind of on topic, but have you ever noticed in places like digg when a Coulter article comes up the comments for it degrade her as being a transvestite and not a real woman, instead of the usual slurs reserved for a woman. I’ve always thought that was odd.
Stephanie: She’s a real woman, all right, just a self-loathing one. I think the “transvestite” comments (which I don’t endorse, BTW–personal attacks are childish, IMHO) are at least partially grounded in the fact that she so palpably, and pathetically, wants to be “one of the boys.”
And if I can go OT myself on the topic of shameful alma mater wingnut affiliations: It makes me absolutely crazy every time I read a reference to “Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.”
The HI is physically located on the Stanford campus, but otherwise has NOTHING TO DO with the university. I wish people would stop hanging that millstone around our necks.
Stephanie,
Not just at Digg, I experienced this earlier this morning at my supposedly liberal work place. When I had the audacity to actually criticize Coutler for what she said rather than the way that she looks, I was met with shocked silence followed shortly by “she doesn’t really mean it.” The topic was then quickly dropped.
My. Sentiments. Exactly.
I envy her ability to disconnect herself from the drivel that finds its way out of her. “Women shouldn’t vote; except for self hating women, like me, because we’ll always vote for strong men who know how to keep us in line.”
not only does coulter hate women an democrats, she also hates men. suggesting that all men vote republican and don’t value health care, education and childcare is a collective insult.
what with the registering in a district she doesn’t live in thing
I thought that was being investigated and all?
She’s doing a very typical wingnut two-step; make an outrageous claim that gets publicity, and then pretend you don’t really mean it but were trying to illustrate a more important point. If she hasn’t already, Coulter will explain that she doesn’t REALLY mean we should legally repeal the vote, but she was just imagining it wistfully because all other women are so stupid.
yes please! same goes for Malkin.
i have absolutely not a care in the world for whether or not ms. coulter is cisgendered, transgendered, gay, straight, a real blonde, a fake blonde, anorexic, a cocaine addict, a republican, a democrat, what college she went to or did not go to, what she eats, how she likes her latte in the morning, what kind of muffins she eats, whether she’s a top or a bottom, etc. etc. etc.
what i care about is that this person has spouted things that are demonstrably:
1. racist
2. homophobic
3. misogynistic
4. fascistic
5. promoting violence
and a host of other immoralities or amoralities, in fora both public and private, is feted lavishly by her fans, receives generous television and radio airtime for her vomitatious spew of hatred, and yet because some deem her physically attractive by some archaic heterosexist standard, she is deemed beyond reproach. even far-right republicans occasionally are overheard to say “i like pat buchanan, but sometimes the man goes too far.” but pat buchanan isn’t, as they say, fuckable.
i resist the urge to verbally attack ms. coulter on grounds which question her sexuality, although it is strangely de riguer to do so. i prefer to attack her on the grounds that she is demonstrably, factually evil, and commands an inordinate amount of public attention. if she were just some ranting barfly, i’d drink to her first amendment rights before throwing the rest of my drink in her face; however, because she has the power of her position as beloved spokesperson for the right, i think it only reasonable that people who find her cant to be more than offensive but actually destructive to suggest that she not be silenced, but rather exposed to any and all possible humiliation on the grounds of logical refutation, which are ample.
if in private i enjoy thoughts of her falling down a manhole, i shall keep those to myself.
I love how women voting for things that are important to them, that affect them, that influence their ability to live a fulfilling life, et cetera, is “stupid.” Funny, I thought that was the purpose of voting—to support political policies that push your society towards being the type of place you’re happy to live in. The women voting liberal do not do so because they’re stupid, they do so because they’re liberal. If your kids don’t have health insurance and your pay is too low to live on comfortably and you have trouble affording birth control, it isn’t stupid to vote for people who want to improve those things rather than leave them unchanged; it’s very, very smart.
And Ann Coulter’s worldview is spectacularly fucked, if she thinks that other people are “stupid” for voting for what they want rather than what she wants. Although I suppose that’s par for the course for anyone who thinks they and theirs are the only people who matter.
Of course, the supreme irony is that if The Creature was actually found guilty of voter fraud and banned from the rolls — which could well happen — she’d sue their pants off from here to Maui.
Polemicists like Ann Coulter tend to view logical consistency and rational thought as things to be discarded when they do not help in facilitating the propagating of their political agendas. Just look at the polemic crap spewed by polemicists like Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, Ishihara, Tanaka, Mao, etc.
Josh,
Looks like we share the same shame as I also graduated from Oberlin in the late 90’s. Around what time did you graduate from there.
Word, r@d@ar. Word word word.
That said, I would love to vote Malkin out of my ethnic background, so where does that leave us?
Maybe I don’t understand what you’re saying because black men did get the vote before white women. Black men got the vote with the 14th A, and women of all races with the 19th. White women did not get the vote as “white women,” though some people advocated for that.
and by 14th, I mean 15th. Slip of the finger.
r@d@r, I applaud both your kickass summary of everything I was thinking and your superior knowledge of the second declension neuter.
I beat you all — we had four (4) Watergate figures graduate from USC.
Go Trojans!
Mnemosyne,
A few friends doing poli-sci PhDs there would not be too surprised. Every one of them has mentioned how conservative the USC undergraduates they’ve TAed tended to be. Was this also your impression or were my TA friends just happened to be TAing courses dominated by conservative right-wing students?
Most of my co-workers still cannot fathom how Michelle Malkin was able to go through 4 years and graduate from what they perceived to be a bastion of “loony left-leaning” progressive activism considering her anti-civil liberties stance and extreme right-wing politics.
I suppose every school has students it and/or other students/alumni would rather forget……such as a certain alumnus from two prominent east coast institutions…one in Connecticut and one in Cambridge, Mass on the Charles.
On the flip side, a person who is feminist, anti-racist, progressive, LGBT-friendly, peaceful, etc. is okay in my book.
flowers – you’re one-up on me, I couldn’t remember the number of the amendment and didn’t even look it up. shame on me.
black men were given suffrage technically, BUT were prevented from actually voting when the time came, due to all manner of state/local restrictions. I don’t think women were under any similar state/local restrictions once they got the vote (though it would be interesting to see if that’s true).
I guess my comment was a little mushy and unclear. thanks for the help!
After spending four years in Ann Arbor myself, I enjoy contemplating the frustration Ms Coulter must have felt living in such a liberal bastion.
r@d@r, very well said.
Coulter should have to live in the world she envisions.
(the rest of us can live in the real one) I don’t think she’d like it.
Serena Joy is particularly apt there.
