A while ago I came to the realization that much (not all I admit) of the geo-political problems we see today are rooted in the hatred of women, much of which can be traced back to religious doctrines. The oppression of women in fundamentalist religions, be it Islam, Christianity, or whatever, creates a society in which a member hates one half of who it is, resulting in violence and irrational thought. This is nothing new and the feminist movement in the U.S.A. is now seeing the hateful backlash coming from conservative, religious fundamentalists, many of whom are women. The ONLY agency or business in the U.S. where terrorism is allowed is women's health clinics. Their hatred of women runs deep and results in violence from abortion clinic bombings to unjustified war.
In the argument of abortion, many state that women are some of the biggest champions of the "right-to-run-women's-lifers" movement. This is true. After all, their religious interpretation dictates that they themselves are not as worthy as a man, thus their impassioned crusade against women who stray from their biblical interpretation.
All of this leads me to a perfect illustration of what average conservative Joe American thinks of women; a chain email MY FATHER sent to me. Actually it is a conservative snark about "stupid, worthless" liberals but they equate liberals to being weak... to being like women. You may have seen this a year ago, and I saved this because it sparked a deep split in my relationship with my father. I thought I would share more insight into the minds of American conservatives masked as humor.
Lesson for the day -- Human History:
Division of the human family into 2 distinct political groups began some 12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains in the summer & would go to the beach & live on fish & lobster in winter. The 2 most important events in all of history were the invention of beer & the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization & together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into 2 distinct subgroups: Liberals &Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered it required grain & that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking & killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as "the Conservative movement."
Other men who were weaker & less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's & doing the sewing, fetching & hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as 'girleymen.'
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy & group hugs & the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat & beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, & French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting revolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood & group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat & still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, soldiers, athletes & generally anyone who works productively outside government.
Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the producers & decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tame & created a business of trying to get MORE for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history.
My response to him was:
"Wow Dad. Nice email. So in your opinion, "faggy" liberal men turned into women? Nice comment on the views of women, and those how have an opinion you don't share. Not to mention what you think about homosexuals. Nice insight about how you perceive your two daughters and your wife."
His one line response to that was:
"It came from a woman."
Women can hate women too, because they live in a culture that hates them.
