Reply #137: Rush was the main demonizer, as I recall [View All]

Rush called us all feminazis. It's gone downhill from there. Rather than look inside themselves and try to improve something within THEM, they make themselves feel better by demonizing somebody else. I also think they demonize what they fear most, what threatens them. Powerful women, ooooohhhhh, scary! Liberals, ooooohhhh, scary.

Here's a couple good quotes I found that came around the same time as Rush chose to paint us with a broad brush.

Feminism:

Jerry Falwell: "Most of these feminists are radical, frustrated lesbians, many of them, and man-haters, and failures in their relationships with men, and who have declared war on the male gender. The Biblical condemnation of feminism has to do with its radical philosophy and goals. That's the bottom line."

Randall Terry, head of Operation Rescue; from a speech to a group of anti-abortion Roman Catholic priests, quoted in Front Lines Research : "...make dads the godly leaders with the women in submission, raising kids for the glory of God."

Is it no wonder women are afraid to declare their feminism? If it's radical to want to control my reproductive organs and not let some strange 80-year old dude in Washington do it for me, color me feminist. If it's radical to expect equal pay for equal work, color me a feminist.

Now we're in a testosterone-charged fascist state where women barely exist or are acknowledged. It's all about "who's tough." Who can "kick some ass."
