The GOP Balkanizing The Women's Movement

[TheMastersNemesis]

In order to win the "war on women" the GOP is engaging in a balkanization political strategy to divide the vote. They are putting nationally known women forward who support their agenda that is against family planning and Planned Parenthood. Many of these well heeled women are touting the benefits of only working in the home and raising a family. They are advertising the benefits of the "Ozzie And Harriet" era where a women is mostly seen but not heard.

At the same time they are demonizing "feminism" as unAmerican and unpatriotic if not evil. The rights of women to seek their own destiny and control their own family is being characterized as selfish.

The question is whether women will fall for their ploy. The GOP is counting on the younger generation not to vote and they are quietly building barriers to that vote. . And they are counting on older more conservative women to convince their peers that women must depend on a man and be willing to listen to the husband as ordained in the bible. It is the American way.

1. Quislings...every single one of them

And when the GOP/Theocrats have what they want, these women will be tossed under a bus, too!

2. Who? Like Phyllis Fucking Schlafly

Or, her evil spawn who hosts Conservapedia?

Right, these are the people who will divide the women's movement.

Not!

Schlafly will probably talk about the evils of unisex bathrooms again. Whatta maroon!

Honestly, who honestly thinks these knuckleheads could Balkanize the women's movement?

3. I was shocked to discover that some

women who post right here on DU do not consider themselves feminists. The fifth column is among us.

4. They have created an economy where where most families need both parents to work.

They don't see the irony & hypocrisy of that.

on edit: I did like this: "Many of these well heeled women..." Well heeled, like a dog. What is up with these women? I just cannot understand their mindset.
