		<description>I read the female male chauvinist article quite a while ago, but for some reason i never made a comment . .   so i thought i would now . . . 

First off, the whole article just makes me very angry . . does this woman know how hard our ancestors have worked just so that we can vote?  I think this woman needs a little lesson in women&#039;s studies.  Second did anyone happen to notice that the picture of hillary clinton looks looks as though she is posing like hitler. .. . awww that&#039;s just great.  This whole article is just completely ridiculous.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Huckabee is on my last good nerve. The signs popped up overnight, so I guess the fundies were out late putting them up EVERYWHERE. If he takes SC, I will scream.&lt;/i&gt;

Sadly, he will.  If he wins SC, he&#039;ll win the GOP nomination and he&#039;ll easily win the White House.</description>

		<description>They didn&#039;t post my comment there either....If she lived up to her beliefs she would shut up, let a man do the talking, and stay home and bake her husband a pie like a &quot;good little girl.&quot;
Needless to say she&#039;s a clueless hypocrite who spoon feeds regurgitated male privilege to whiney misogynist males...
I didn&#039;t even really read the article, because it would have been a waste of 5 to 7 minutes of my precious and valuable life.</description>

		<description>This is in regards to the Huckabee calls for wifely submission article . . . . 

&quot;&lt;strong&gt;A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband&lt;/strong&gt; even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus &lt;strong&gt;equal &lt;/strong&gt;to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation.&quot;

I would love to know how when &quot;submitting&quot; to my husband and &quot;serving&quot; him I am some how considered to be &quot;equal to him&quot;.  I&#039;m pretty sure that does not sound like equality.  It&#039;s completely contradictory.</description>

		<description>Thankfully, her daughters will probably be so repelled by her helplessness that they explicitly reject her teachings, model themselves after Daddy, and go out to do everything themselves.

Unfortunately, they will probably soak up a good bit of Mom&#039;s misogyny unconsciously and her weakness will just back it up for them, so instead of being open feminists, they&#039;ll be &quot;I&#039;m not a feminist because I think *most* women are retarded, but I&#039;m a fantastic exception because all the guys think I&#039;m one of them&quot; apologist for anti-feminism.

And now we know where those kind of women come from -- the Carly Fiorinas (at least when she was CEO) of the world, who say &quot;Being a woman never hurt me, and therefore any woman who claims it hurt her is just being a whiny weak bitch like my mom.&quot; (Okay, Fiorina never actually said that, but I imagine that the Female Male Chauvinist&#039;s daughters will.)</description>

		<description>Sheesh, why doesn&#039;t she just plaster up a sign saying: I DON&#039;T WANT ANY RESPONSIBILITY and be done with it?

Doesn&#039;t like to fly in a plane flown by a female pilot, can&#039;t change a tire...kiddies probably run to each other and to Daddy because they know Mommy will just wring her hands and wail: &quot;oh, I&#039;m a poor weak helpless female, I can&#039;t do anything!&quot; 

Feh.  Luckily the rest of us don&#039;t think that being an adult female means we have a life-long &quot;run away from responsibility&quot; card.</description>

		<description>woo.  the female chauvinist caught my attention, as well.  terrifying.
But I totally understand why her kids run to their &lt;em&gt;dad&lt;/em&gt; for help, instead of her.  Good idea, actually.

Poor kids.</description>

		<description>. . . I am obviously a defective woman, since I failed to receive my copy of the princess gene (tm).  I wonder if they offer gene therapy for this yet??

. . . and I don&#039;t think anyone else has pointed this out yet re: famale male chauvinists (apologies if I missed it scrolling through the comments), but what are MEN supposed to do when they&#039;re &quot;tired, weak, compromised, in need of sympathy and vulnerable&quot; if they have to be on call 24/7 to cater to our every physical and emotional need?  Are women, like, incapable of growing beyond the emotional age of three?  And can guys never be the cared-for ones?  

I know I&#039;m preaching to the choir, but as human beings men, just as much as women, deserve to be nurtured when they need it.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;The fact is that when &lt;strong&gt;I&lt;/strong&gt; am tired, weak, compromised, in need of sympathy and vulnerable, nothing beats the...&lt;/em&gt; soothing, understanding purr of my four female cats and the way they have of always knowing when to commiserate and when to play.  :) I have some fine male friends and I appreciate them when it&#039;s appropriate, but when I am  tired and weepy and hurting,  I would rather cuddle my cats. 

As for the rest, my dad - a male chauvinist pig par excellance - taught me to change the oil, the spart plugs, the battery and the tires on my truck.  A couple years ago, I left work only to find the battery on the truck had gone dead. I walked back in and told a co-worker I needed to borrow her car to jump off my truck. A customer - an older woman - looked at me incredulously and said &#039;don&#039;t you have a &lt;em&gt;man&lt;/em&gt; to do that?&#039;  That customer and the writer of that article are obviously cut from the same cloth. Although, my co-worker, also an older woman, didn&#039;t even blink at my request.</description>

		<description>Alara, you hit it dead-center.  I&#039;d rather wait for the librarian.  At least she won&#039;t pull the shit on me that&#039;s been pulled before of helping me out and then standing there waiting for his thank-you BJ.

And where no BJ is forthcoming or appropriate, like you said, it&#039;s women who help.  Picking up stuff that falls, holding a door, etc.  Where the assistance is just polite one-person-to-another and can&#039;t be used to extort sexual favors (meaning almost always), it&#039;s a woman who helps.

That said, if my ass is ON FIRE, I&#039;m taking any help I can get, the opinion of some dipshit in the Daily Wail be damned.</description>
