Obama, The Radical Feminist

Barack Obama Men’s rights activists aren’t too happy with Obama and his so-called radical feminist agenda.

As you can most likely guess, men’s rights activists view feminism as a “dogmatic belief in a malevolent, all-pervasive conspiracy that renders its victims helpless.” …Heh, “victims.” They also believe that (while comparing Obama’s affiliation with Jeremiah Wright and his hatred for American society) feminists blame every unpleasantness on the alleged shortcomings of men.

So obviously, these men’s rights activists aren’t very well-informed when it comes to the topic of feminism, which we already knew, but why do they believe Obama has a rad fem agenda?

Here are some points that were brought up in the article, saying “As you can see, Sen. Obama is marching lock-step with the radical feminist agenda, pretty much from A to Z.”

  • Abortion: Obama endorses the entire abortion package, including partial birth abortion. The National Abortion Rights Action League gave Obama a perfect 100% score over the last three years.
  • And this is bad…why? Oh yeah, I know, because men deserve to have the last word when it comes to what women do with their bodies, right? Because you know, they know so much more about the bodies of women than actual women; I get it now.

  • Child Support: Obama wants to spend $4.9 billion over 10 years to throw more low-income dads in jail. That will force more single moms onto the welfare rolls. Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?
  • Obviously all cases of child support not being paid is the fault of the economy and these men just having low income and not so much with most men not paying child support being deadbeats who either can’t or won’t keep jobs and not wanting to provide for their children.

  • Contraception: Obama wants to expand teenager’s access to contraception. Remember last month’s comment that he didn’t want his daughters to be “punished” with a baby?
  • All teenagers, everywhere, should have full access to contraception at all times. It has been proving that abstinence-only education doesn’t work and that even more teenagers are going out and having sex now because of the lies they are being told in the classroom. I don’t believe Obama misspoke in the least when using the word punished, either; in all cases of teenage pregnancy where a teenage girl goes through with the pregnancy and becomes a mother at age 14 (or 13, 15, 16 and so on) that girl is most definitely being punished–For not knowing any better, for not getting the facts at a time where she most definitely should have, for not being able to have access to contraception. Hooray for expanding access to contraception!

  • Domestic Violence: The democratic candidate believes that women are never violent towards their husbands. (I guess Hillary laying tracks on Bill’s face and singer Amy Winehouse beating up her hubbie don’t count.)
  • That or perhaps Obama spoke up about domestic violence existing and this writer blowing it completely out of proportion to fit in with the rest of this obviously misogynistic essay. Yeah, I think so, too.

  • Gender Wage Gap: Barack insists discrimination is the reason why women chose to work fewer hours than men, and that needs to be fixed with stronger enforcement of the Equal Pay Act.
  • To hell with the candidate who believes that women should be paid the same wages for the same work. That is just outrageous! What is this world coming to?

  • Women’s Health: Obama wants to fund the separate-and-unequal “Centers of Excellence in Women’s Health” that turn away uninsured men with serious medical problems.
  • Again, the writer twisting words to make it seem that Obama does not care about the men of the United States. Nevertheless, three cheers for cracking down on women’s health!

  • Michelle Obama: An intelligent and charming woman, I’m certain. But is she First Lady material? I have my doubts. At a New York fundraiser, she tweaked the Illinois senator for not “putting his socks actually in the dirty clothes” – a necessary qualification, we know, for every man who one day hopes to become president.
  • Because women are supposed to be seen and not heard and definitely not possess a sense of humor or the free will to crack a joke. Joking with your spouse = bad, folks. Very, very bad. Michelle Obama, you should most definitely be ashamed of yourself for thinking that you are on the same level as a human being as your husband is. Ugh…

The article finishes with:

Barack Obama, the latest hen-pecked Democratic candidate who has pretensions of becoming the next Leader of the Free World.

Hen-pecked, huh? Because all women do is nag, nag, nag; didn’t you know?

    I never cease to be amazed by the Right’s attempt to demonize center and center-left beliefs by tossing adjectives like radical and extremist in front of the ideologies which embody them.

    Obama is clearly the best candidate, partisan hyperbole aside, when faced with the reality that the alternative, MCCain,(and BTW-wake up Hillary supporter-it’s over), has fully embraced the dogma of the religious right and has pledged to place the kind of Supreme Court Judges who WILL overturn Roe.

    Vote smart. Inform yourself. This is perhaps the most critical election of our lifetimes.
