Trumping the Feminists

October 14, 2016
By Patricia McCarthy

As of last Friday, feminists across the country are melting down over the shock of having to see and hear a twelve-year-old tape of Donald Trump talking about behaving badly toward women. One can only assume that these mighty warriors for women have been living in a bubble for the last forty years. They apparently thought their plan to transform men into full-fledged wimps had been fully implemented.

Trump obviously missed two generations of enforced indoctrination and sublimation that has indeed turned many men into pajama boys. He, on the other hand, has behaved like a thug rapper who thinks the words he spews are a how-to manual. Everyone is offended by his past exploits, his apparent belief that because he was rich, he could get away with brutish conduct.

Trump clearly has a history of inappropriate behavior, not unlike several past presidents and politicians, but not quite as vile. He hasn't killed anyone, as Ted Kennedy did.

Now the NYT is hawking a video of more women who say he groped them, one of them thirty years ago! If true, why did they not haul off and slug him? Where was all that girl power? Wasn't that the height of the feminist movement, when they were all taking self-defense classes?

These women who are so, so offended by tales of Trump from long ago are pathetic. Have none of them ever been to Italy? All over the world, men have been known to be, and often are, boors. It has been known to be the nature of the beast.

Do those of us with daughters teach them to plug their ears and run as fast as they can from ugly words? No. They have to learn that not everyone is civilized or well-mannered, kind or respectful. We teach them to have self-respect and, if bothered by another person, male or female, to fight back, with words, distance, or physical force if necessary. We teach them not to take aggressive intrusion on their person from anyone. To be human, one must be aware.

Much of such commonsense parenting is being undermined by the foolishness of trigger warnings and safe spaces on college campuses. Young people are being taught that speech must be severely regulated lest someone's feelings be hurt. All in all, feminism has been turned upside-down and inside out. These women want to be considered equal to men – powerful, competent, advocates for other women. At the same time, they act like fragile children, as afraid of gutter language as they are of an inappropriate touch. But these same women do not speak out for the millions of women in the Muslim world who are oppressed and abused; that would be politically incorrect. They do not speak out for the Yazidi women who have for several years now been sold into sex slavery in service of barbaric jihadists. That too would be an affront to Obama's rule that we must speak no evil about radical Islamic terrorists.

In short, no modern woman should have her feathers ruffled by unseemly words uttered years ago. Better we worry about the words Hillary Clinton utters today. She promises to raise our taxes by trillions of dollars, which means more massive debt. She promises to increase refugee immigration by 500%, which will guarantee an increase in domestic terrorism. She wants more gun control, more divisive racial rhetoric, more restrictions on law enforcement, more federal control of our schools, and Supreme Court justices who will further abrogate the Constitution. In short, the end of America as founded.

Everyone knows that Hillary Clinton has a forty-year history of pathological lying. Everyone knows she, in the words of Colin Powell, has "unbridled ambition." People know she abused the women who threatened her husband's political career. She was the one who hired the detectives to dig up dirt on them. Those detectives stalked and harassed some of them. Hillary name-called, lied, and dismissed her husband's predatory behavior as Bill being Bill. Those women were victims of her as much as they were victims of Bill Clinton.

Hillary has as gritty and perhaps an even grittier history than Trump of bad behavior toward women. She has taken millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc. – Muslim countries where women cannot drive, must be covered head to toe in burkas, and can be stoned for a variety of small reasons. Using Trump's past as a weapon to take attention away from her own crimes that are being exposed on a daily basis by Wikileaks is so calculated, so transparent. But it's what the Clintons do.

The feminist movement has done terrible damage to several generations of women who embraced it. The first wave, that began just after the advent of the birth control pill, taught girls that they "could have it all" – education, career, and family. Millions of them put off the family for too long, until it was too late, and regretted their choice. Others had children in their forties when their own parents were too old to be hands-on grandparents. The second wave taught that women could be as sexually promiscuous as men without consequences. But there were consequences: STDs, drug abuse, loss of self-respect. And now we have the third wave, a complete turnabout, in which young women must be shielded from offensive words and "trigger warned " in case there may come by something offensive in a work of literature (so many books they cannot read!) or in a campus speaker who may have views antithetical to their own.

Feminist culture has created women who would be unrecognizable to the women of the American past – women of the Colonial, Revolutionary, Civil War and industrial, WWI, and WWII eras. Those women were tough, strong, and competent, whether they had educations or not. And their lives were truly difficult in countless ways women of today cannot imagine.

Women of the twenty-first century have so much for which to be eternally grateful, but it seems all the feminists among us do is complain about the silliest, most irrelevant things. They have won on every front but cannot stop whining. If Hillary wins the election, their lives are not going to be better; they will be decidedly worse – less free, less secure economically, and less safe, for them and their families. There will be more chaos in the Middle East and around the world.

Trump's past behavior is odious, but he is the only option at this late date. He just might turn things around. Hillary will double down on all of Obama's failed policies.

The women supporting Hillary are not "feminists". Suffragettes and real feminists would be ashamed of the whiny, dependent, unsustainable women supporting Hillary. Hillary Women are not the leaders of our nation, because women who led and supported all the battles of our country did not whine because some man tried to kiss them or rub their boobs, they slapped the hell out of 'em. Women who have made the enormous contributions to this nation didn't look to government for food, they grew it, they didn't look to government to take care of their children, they took care of their children, they didn't look to government for money, they worked for it, and that is how women got equal rights, that is how they proved they were equal, that is how they demanded and received equal treatment under the law.

The Hillary Women are the dependent women, women who depend on government for income, food, health care, and work. Yes, that's right, look around at the women supporting Hillary. They DEPEND on everything and everyone around them. Look at these women in the MEDIA, totally owned by the networks that employ them, totally DEPENDENT on doing whatever their bosses and the network ownership tell them to do, look at the writers for the New York Times and the Washington Post, same thing.

Hillary Women have allowed themselves to be brain-washed and scuttled into an old dock no one wants any more, and that many of US Women never did.

Governments in liberal areas have come to be dominated by a type of feminist: ones that cannot do physical work, but learn how to be critical and demanding and to be political opportunists. Elizabeth Warren for example. Our state and local government is full of them. Politics is a dirtbag business to begin with, but this type of feminist politician has little other than "ideas." I am not questioning there administrative ability, but it is subject to their willingness to be a tool.

And because the Hillary Women don't actually know how to do very many things these days, they are dependent upon all talk, no action jobs, which for the most part confines them to government or media jobs which is why they hate Trump, because they think he's going to change things enough to where they have to go get a real job to maintain their lifestyle.

Not all Democrat voting women are like that, in fact most are not, but they often listen to the ones who are. And there are many all talk, no action jobs in government that are necessary, but many are not, and they are the highest paying types of jobs that many people could do and would do a much better job.

Hillary Women rely on the theory of it's not what you know, it's who you know, which is true in life to a certain extent but not to the extent that they push it to be.
