Oh, great—another excuse for a Freeper misogyny thread.

It's not an excuse when it's a fact.

I am late to this thread but-in reading the posts and especially the exchange between Shadowstrike and Revolting Cat, I think you have summed it up best. MISOGNY.
There is a disturbing similiarity between those who claim to be conservatives on this site and the Islamic religion in the blaming of women for damn near everything. Americans complaining about women DRIVING and WORKING.?! That is exactly how the Saudi’s feel- so they restrict women drivers and workers. When longed-for ‘traditions’ go as far as wishing women could be submissive and satisfied to make babies and cookies- and the only difference between that attitude and Sharia law is SEMANTICS- I can see how comparison is valid.
How about the fact that MEN of old were the total support for their families. Women ruled the home- but men paid for everything. How many men now can- or want to- do that?
Control of women is control of women- whether its by Sharia law or wanting western females in 2013 to be more like women were in 1320. The desire-and the message is the same- REGRESSION, STAGNATION for women. A PLACE that should be consistent and maintained. That is precisely the prevailing treatment of women in Islam-and those who agree with the philosophy should be MEN enough to speak plainly and own up to it! Don’t play cute with semantics.

Clinton insulted us with the debate over what ‘is’ is. If any here really believe that womankind is the root of all that is wrong in the world, that they should be controlled and obedient, have the testicular fortitude to SAY it plainly. Then those of us who oppose MISOGNY wherever we find it will classify you with the other barbarians who wish to return to the dark ages. But be prepared- IF you are honest- for the women in your life to stop working to pay for your satellite TV, big screens, WII’s and Xboxes.
Actually, there is nothing stopping men who believe women should be more like their submissive ancestors imposing that philosophy in daily life. Anyone trying that with their wives, daughters, mothers? Live the dream...and let us know how that works for you.

I just like straight talk- and those who espouse the SAME philosophy toward women as those who are terrorizing the world must be prepared to have that pointed out.If you don’t want your beliefs compared to Sharia , perhaps you should hear yourself as you promote it.
Don’t urinate on my head and tell me it’s rain.
