The recurring narrative of human history is that females are assailed by their very real enemies while being abandoned by their very false friends. Women are not baby machines to be alternately glorified and repressed by the right wing, nor are they eternal children to be endlessly patronized and betrayed by the left wing. They are human beings, and are therefore entitled to all the rights inherent in being human.Attaining those rights remains an elusive quest. At home and abroad, misogynists are on the march. While some privileged females rise higher than ever, women worldwide are generally scorned as inferiors. There are a few heroines seeking to stem the tide, intrepid souls like Ayaan Hirsi Ali who risk their lives by insisting that women everywhere must be treated humanely. Yet theirs is a lonely fight, and they are losing.
So is everyone else who believes that defending women must involve more than rhetorical self-indulgence. The endless assault upon females constitutes a crime against every person who values women. Integrity demands that the criminals be vanquished, but most people – even most good people – are just too busy worrying about higher priorities.
There can be no higher priority. At stake is the liberty of more than half the human population. For people of conscience, securing women’s rights must be the ultimate priority.
It is a mistake to believe that the tide of history guarantees such progress. In the United States, women stopped progressing economically decades ago and are now regressing. Meanwhile, their social gains are being systematically eroded by wholesome, clean-cut, bible quoting degenerates. Across the globe, more women are currently enslaved than at any time in history, usually by religious zealots so saturated with Godly love that they pray towards Mecca five times daily.
So where is the outrage? And where is the pushback?
Nowhere, mon frère. There has long been an all-out war pitting a multicultural coalition of misogynists against women, but only one side has been fighting. Until that battle is joined the savagery visited upon females will not end. Feeble Feminism must be replaced by Kick Ass Feminism. The time has come to stop turning the other cheek and start turning the cheeks of the reprobates.
That vigilance begins where all vigilance begins… at home. Ostensible allies must be placed on notice that the free ride has ended and the Era of Earned Support has begun. Democratic politicians must have it impressed upon them that they can enable misogynists onto the Supreme Court or they can have the votes of people who care about women.
Roberts Court Discord Rises Over Abortion, Death-Penalty Cases
By Greg Stohr
In two of those cases, Ginsburg, 74, the only female justice, accused the majority of callousness toward women. The abortion decision, she said, reflected ``ancient notions about women's place in the family and under the Constitution.''In the pay-disparity case, Ginsburg said from the bench that the majority ``does not comprehend, or is indifferent to, the insidious way in which women can be victims of pay discrimination.''
