Not Hardly, or, Perhaps Even Worse; or Disillusionment

Let’s get a few things straight.  Writing in and telling me you are a liberal earns you absolutely no credence with me.  There are puh-LENTY of liberal misogynists in this world.  This is a fact that every human being on the planet needs to clarify and permanently brand onto his or her brain:  so-called liberals are absolutely, equally as hating of women as conservatives, on a number of different issues.

A strange new development has emerged out in the editorial opinion pieces. Liberals have always heretofore been hailed as the harbingers of revolution, the bastions of positive social change.  But lately, it seems they have revealed their true ugly natures.  It appears that they are gruesome dumbazzez.

You liberals accuse conservatives of being stuck-up, snobbish, conceited, displaying holier-than-thou behavior.

Why?  Because they have standards?  Because they want to be true to themselves rather than kowtow to the morass of your opinion (and of your ilk)?  You are making the claim that the fact that conservatives have morals is the reason you are superior to them. You are essentially saying that the fact that they are human beings who have boundaries that need to be respected, that they have limits beyond which is disgusting for them, is what makes you better than them.

That one wasn't too hard.  But this next one is perplexing, extremely disappointing, heartbreaking, and did I mention confusing?  Unfortunately I had to learn this.

Writing in and telling me you are a woman earns you absolutely no credence with me.  There are puh-LENTY of women who have this weird, sick, permeated hatred of women.

There are a disturbingly large number of editorials, authors of fiction, writers, people I have encountered in daily life, etc. whom I have read over the years, who cannot stand the sight of a woman in power.  For some reason or other, they seethe anger and vitriol at women who have power and authority in the government, in military, in any form of genuine societal authority.

Katie in 9th grade who said, "I don’t think girls are able to handle Citadel military school."  Sara w. in 8th grade who said, "I can't stand Hillary Clinton."  Author of "Animorphs" book series who thinks that the only way a woman could possibly be in power, is that she must be bad.  She must be working for the bad guys.  Consider the sheer number of people who don’t like Hillary Clinton.

Some black women who, when encountering facts of any men's infidelities, sexual promiscuity, unfaithfulness.  For example Bill Clinton cheating on Hillary, they will say, "He's a man, he's going to act that way."  Some black women making excuses for misogynistic lyrics, rap music videos, the way the gangsta rap culture portrays women specifically in general.  They say, oh well that's just the culture, it's just how it is.  That one girl in Columbia College public speaking class.

It would cease to be "how it is" if women refused to accept it.
