Good morning!

My friend Mirna posted this on my Facebook page in response to my FaceBook post, that I tweeted last week. Thank you Mirna!

Since  I have been posting about sick men so much lately, this is kind of refreshing, don’t you think? In my opinion, this is a clarion call to men to break the complicit silence and do something to support women by challenging the men that abuse women.

Jackson Katz: Violence against women—it’s a men’s issue

Jackson Katz asks a very important question that gets at the root of why sexual abuse, rape and domestic abuse remain a problem: What’s going on with men?

Jackson Katz is an educator, author, filmmaker and cultural theorist who is a pioneer in the fields of gender violence prevention education and media literacy. He is co-founder of Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP), which enlists men in the struggle to prevent men’s violence against women. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, MVP has become a widely used sexual and domestic violence prevention initiative in college and professional athletics across North America. Katz and his MVP colleagues have also worked extensively with schools, youth sports associations and community organizations, as well as with all major branches of the U.S. military.

Katz is the creator of popular educational videos including Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity. He is the author of The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help and Leading Men: Presidential Campaigns and the Politics of Manhood. He has also appeared in several documentaries, including Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes andMissRepresentation.

*******

Readers: Part of the problem is that men are always going to think they are better than women because they believe, because they have been told, that they were created in the image of God. No one seems to discuss that part. As long as men think this, they will think they are better than women, and women will be treated as less than.

Good morning!

I feel like all I keep saying is how sick some men can be. But then I keep reading writes that proves it over and over again. There’s never not enough news to be written on this subject to keep my blog busy. And I keep posting them because I am so sick (there’s that word again) of reading them over and over and not seeing much progress in changing this extremely bad attitude and behavior of men.

Is anyone feeling the same same? Are we just getting so used to it, that nothing is surprising anymore, because it is so damn prevalent in our society?I’m not used to it – never will be. It still sickens me and shocks me. Especially when I don’t see the outrage that should be heard on a daily basis from women and men when men say such sick things?

Let me be blunt here. When will women get that some men just think we are a receptacle to drop their load in? They want to put us back on the shelf for use whenever they are horny and need their needs met, or they need to be waited on. When will women learn that we need to stick together because men are always waiting in the wings to divide and conquer?

Here it is. Plain and simply said on FOX News: Men suggesting that women are inferior.

All-Male Fox Panel Freaks Out About Female Breadwinners

The all-male panel on Wednesday’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight” was in total agreement about the deep danger posed to society by women bringing home the bacon.

The Fox Business host fulminated about a recently released Pew study which showed that women were the sole or primary breadwinners in four out of ten households with children. There have been many nuanced reactions to the study, but Dobbs and his guests agreed that it was a complete catastrophe for the country.

Juan Williams said it was “something going terribly wrong in American society, and it’s hurting our children, and it’s going to have impact for generations to come.”

Fellow guest Erick Erickson said it was a downright repudiation of nature itself.

“When you look at biology, look at the natural world, the roles of a male and a female in society, and other animals, the male typically is the dominant role. The female, it’s not antithesis, or it’s not competing, it’s a complementary role. We as people in a smart society have lost the ability to have complementary relationships in nuclear families, and it’s tearing us apart.”

“The politicians won’t say it,” Williams said. “They won’t admit this!”

At no point were women invited to share their thoughts.

UPDATE: One woman, Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, reacted with disbelief:

Have these men lost their minds? (and these are my colleagues??!! oh brother… maybe I need to have a little chat with them if it isn’t too late….)

*****

Greta: You act so surprised like you didn’t know these men were like they are. Hello…do you ever listen to half the stuff that comes from their mouths or are you just usually in agreement with them? I mean you do work for FOX news. I don’t watch enough of FOX, and I honestly don’t know anything about you, except that you work for FAUX news and that says a lot. Perhaps you are just waking up and realizing just how sick they are. If so, you have no excuse to not be on their case about a lot more than this. They most likely will not change but it is never too late to stand up for your sisters and be a loud voice. I’m happy you did this time. I HOPE you continue to.

Readers: The panel is freaking out. I’m freaking out over their sick attitude. What should be in large letters across America is how men’s attitude and behavior is ruining our society. Not that women are earning more and it’s hurting our children. What’s hurting our children is allowing men and boys to run around with 30 magazine guns killing our children at will. Whats hurting our children is the pedophile men who prey on them. That’s what is tearing apart our society, not female breadwinners. When will men take responsibility for their sick actions, instead of once again blaming women for how messed up our society is?

Sick. How many times did I use that word this morning? There’s plenty more to say about this panel’s discussion. Your turn. Blog me.

Happy Monday – Let’s get this week off to a good start – OK? Thanks for being here with me. Peace out.

Good morning!

And this is the kind of crazy thinking that women need to deal with. When will women rise up and refuse to support these kind of men? Southern boys will be Southern boys. Sick. When the time comes…vote ‘em out!

A write from Think Progress:

Congressman: Women Should Be Forced To Give Birth To Fetuses With No Brain Function

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)

At a congressional committee hearing to discuss a proposed measure to criminalize abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a Texas lawmaker told a woman who made the difficult choice to terminate a non-viable pregnancy that she should have carried the fetus to term anyway — even though an MRI had already revealed that he was missing a large part of his brain and didn’t have much chance of survival.

On Thursday, Christy Zink testified in opposition to H.R. 1797, a 20-week abortion ban that anti-abortion representatives of Congress keep attempting to impose upon the women in the nation’s capital. Abortion opponents claim that 20-week bans are necessary to prevent “fetal pain.” But in her testimony, Zink pointed out it’s misleading to suggest that this abortion restriction would serve this purpose, since forcing her to carry her pregnancy to term would have actually caused her unborn son considerable pain.

At 21 weeks, Zink’s doctors discovered that her fetus had no brain function. That type of fetal abnormality was impossible to detect earlier in her pregnancy. “If this bill had been passed before my pregnancy, I would have had to carry to term and give birth to a baby whom the doctors concurred had no chance of a life and would have experienced near-constant pain,” Zink explained. “If he had survived the pregnancy — which was not certain — he might never have left the hospital. My daughter’s life, too, would have been irrevocably hurt by an almost always-absent parent.”

In order to justify his support for H.R. 1797, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) suggested that Zink should have given birth to her son anyway, regardless of the pain that may have caused her family. The congressman told a story about a different couple who decided to give birth to a fetus with different types of disabilities — suggesting that Zink should have made the same choice for her son, instead of deciding to “rip him apart”:

GOHMERT: Ms. Zink, having my great sympathy and empathy both. I still come back wondering, shouldn’t we wait, like that couple did, and see if the child can survive before we decide to rip him apart? So. These are ethical issues, they’re moral issues, they’re difficult issues, and the parents should certainly be consulted. But it just seems like, it’s a more educated decision if the child is in front of you to make those decisions.

Watch it (around the 5 minute mark):

Even though medical experts have repeatedly warned that cutting off legal abortion access at 20 weeks will force more women to carry non-viable fetuses to term, several states have enacted “fetal pain” bans over the past several years. After Arizona passed this type of stringent measure in 2012, the volunteer organizations that counsel women whose unborn children die from fatal fetal defects braced for an influx of new families dealing with that grief. When that restrictive law ended up in court, and opponents pointed out that it’s cruel to require women to give birth to children only to be forced to watch them die, Arizona defended its abortion ban by claiming that those fetal abnormalities are “the woman’s problem.”

Just earlier this week, Arizona’s abortion ban was struck down by a panel of judges, sparing the women in that state from potentially devastating effects of being denied the choice that Zink had. Nonetheless, that hasn’t deterred the anti-choice politicians in the state. Arizona Rep. Trent Franks (R), who has repeatedly pushed the 20-week abortion ban for the District of Columbia, recently announced that he intends to expand H.R. 1797 to apply to women in every state.

Good morning!

“Just noticing…” And yes, I am judging too.

In my opinion, this girl is an idiot. If you ask me she has been listening to and taking advice from Pat Robertson. Or perhaps just her husband and his hurt feelings and prayers.

Here’s the write from the Huff Po:

Kylie Bisutti, Former Victoria’s Secret Model, Says She Quit Modeling For Husband, God (VIDEO)

Former Victoria’s Secret model Kylie Bisutti stopped by HuffPost Live Wednesday and opened up about her decision to quit modeling to protect her marriage and her relationship with God.

Bisutti told host Alicia Menendez that while her husband never asked her to stop modeling, she did feel that her flirtatious model persona hurt his feelings.

“He did not [ask me to stop modeling], he was very supportive. He just prayed, and his prayers have been answered,” Bisutti said.

She also said that God spoke to her during her modeling career, telling her to leave the industry because she “wasn’t being the right kind of role model.”

“It’s the wife’s job to focus on the positive.”

Good morning!

Ah…More words of wisdom from a girl’s fave: Pat Robertson.  This ought to give you a good laugh this morning if it weren’t so sick. Aren’t you glad he’s not your daddy giving you advice. You certainly couldn’t run to mother, she married him.

Pat Robertson Tells Wife Of Cheating Husband To Be Grateful For Marriage, Make Home Enticing (VIDEO)

Pat Robertson has many opinions on subjects including homosexuality, politics and the coming of the Mark of the Beast, but it was the famous televangelist’s opinion on marriage that took center stage during Wednesday’s episode of his daily television program, “The 700 Club.”

Responding to a question from a viewer, Robertson said that married men “have a tendency to wander” and it is the spurned wife’s job to focus on the positive and make sure the home is so enticing, he doesn’t want to stray.

“I’ve been trying to forgive my husband for cheating on me,” the viewer writes. “We have gone to counseling, but I just can’t seem to forgive, nor can I trust. How do you let go of the anger? How do you trust again?”

While Robertson’s co-host hedged on the question, calling forgiveness “difficult” and spousal infidelity “one of the ultimate betrayals,” Robertson got right to the point.

“Here’s the secret,” the famous evangelical said. “Stop talking the cheating. He cheated on you, well, he’s a man.”

The wife needs to focus on the reasons she married her spouse, he continued.

“Does he provide a home for you to live in,” Robertson said. ‘Does he provide food for you to eat? Does he provide clothes for you to wear? Is he nice to the children… Is he handsome?”

Robertson also offered a little advice on the “tendency of man.”

“Recognize also, like it or not, males have a tendency to wander a little bit,” Robertson said. “What you want to do is make a home so wonderful that he doesn’t want to wander” or give in to the “salacious” magazine pictures and Internet filled with porn.

This is certainly not Robertson’s first foray into anecdotal marital counseling, however.

In January, Robertson told viewers that “awful-looking” women can cause marriages to lose their spark.

“It just isn’t something to just lie there, ‘Well, I’m married to him so he’s got to take me slatternly looking,’” he said. “You’ve got to fix yourself up, look pretty.”

Similarly, in 2010 the host advised a woman complaining about her husband’s flirtatious ways not to “hassle him about it” and just make herself as attractive as possible.

He also once told a husband upset that his wife didn’t respect him that he could always just “become a Muslim and you could beat her.”
