For those who think I rant about the patriarchy and misogyny too much

15. Going Back To The Future

I was recently chastised by a young lady when I posted a thread where I was expressing concern that younger women might not be active enough in challenging the "war on women". I was glad to hear from this person that they were very active in politics. And it is very important to be involved in these elections. So I am glad to see participation on that level.

I remember well the open public demonstrations carried out by the "feminist" movement in the 1960's and 1970's. I do believe that women need to repeat that openly aggressive and outspoken political kickback today more than ever. I do not believe that women
will l succeed in this war unless they get out in the street and challenge the GOP leadership and candidates. They need to be rebuffed on the spot. Militarily when you are being assaulted you have to double down and counter attack immediately.

Retreat or silence is NOT an option in the light of the latest threats to women. I believe your outspokenness is just the response that these fools should get. Letting their lies remain even for an instant is damaging. Women and men of conscience have to aggressively attack publicly and never apologize.

When Phyliss Schafly comes out at the Eagle Forum and directly says that she plans to make "feminism" an evil word like liberal, then women have to respond and even be personal with that witch who was pretty much responsible for stopping the ratification of ERA. Any insult hurled at that her is justified. There are no rules in this war on women's rights.

Were I to see he in person I would not care if I insulted her to her face and called her every terrible name in the book. The savagery that she plans to inflict on women demands a blistering and unmerciful response. She is a domestic terrorist and needs to be at least verbally terrorized in return. Women need to become militant and confrontive like women in the past. The GOP and conservatives are counting on womens public silence and parliamentary efforts. They own the game there. And they are working on stopping women from voting as well. Social networks are important in this fight. But old fashioned public confrontation and mockery has its place as well.

Believe me the GOP and idiots like Schafly and their religious allies intend to strip women of every right they have and their dignity as well. The attack on feminism is happening because these old white cracker GOP politicians who are mostly men demand the same subservience the Saudis enforce on their women. They are terrified of being put in their place.

The fact that you speak up where you have shows a lot of hutzpa. Speaking up while surrounded by the enemy is one of the most difficult things in the world to do.
