In related news, bonehead PhD type calls for “sex strike” against pro-lifers July 2, 2013

Madam, as if we would even be interested. As I used to say in my drinking days, there isn’t enough beer in the world………

There are so many things wrong with the below, which I’m getting off CMR via concerned reader S, that I’ll just have to fisk it as we go:

We’ve all been there, attracted to that man who does not mean well for us. We sure would not want our daughters dating or married to these kinds of guys who think they should decide what is best for women. [OK, right off the bat we’re completely off into radical feminist illogic.  First of all, how many pro-life men are involved with pro-abort women?  Especially in something resembling a serious relationship?  I doubt it’s that many.  This is just “I am woman hear me roar” red meat for brain damaged feminists]  How perfectly patriarchal, these Texas men trying to not hear what women want have shown themselves to be, but how incredibly out of touch with today’s reality. Women of Texas, it’s going to be a long hot summer — make sure the men who do not deeply respect and support women feel it. [Notice some key errors. First, only MEN oppose abortion to this overeducated ignoramus.  Please, look at it any way you choose, the pro-life movement is most often organized, energized, and certainly led by women. The most passionate anti-choicers I know are women, and thank God for that. Who organized the annual March for Life in DC? A woman. Who runs the Susan B. Anthony List? A woman. Who has the most effective undercover research and expose service against abortionists in the country (LiveAction)? A woman.  But this is simply an attempt, as they did with Sarah Palin in 2008, to pretend that women who oppose abortion aren’t real “women.”  Yes, certainly, that makes sense, it’s the women who hate motherhood and the offspring associated that are the real women!]

As a native Texan, and someone who has survived 100-plus-degree temperatures for many summers, I can tell you, this summer in Texas is surely going to be hotter than usual. Sultry, sweaty summers can be made much nicer when good old-fashioned sex is part of the picture. [For crying out loud. What are you, 16?  Can we move past making our crotches the focus of our entire lives (provided that a child never results from all that focus, right!)?] But women, take heed: Don’t give in if your man, boyfriend, husband, toyboy is not voting for your best interests, your reproductive health — do not sleep with that man! [Once again, we have the nonsensical, hypocritical definition of “woman” as nothing more than her reproductive organs by a supposed feminist, who at the same time notes, by implication, that many women are being used by men for sex.  Which is supposed to be empowering, or something.] I don’t care how cute or charming he is! I don’t care if he is your husband of many years. Resist! Go swimming! Meditate! [I guess you could describe the author as a single issue voter?]

Do not make him dinner, do not go fetch him a cold beer from the fridge, do not iron that shirt, hell, do not change that diaper… do not make his life a little nicer this summer if he does not “get it” and learn to respect women! [Is this a snide attack on traditional feminine roles, or at least this wacko’s vision of such?]   Instead, volunteer some time for senators like Wendy Davis, go with a group of women to Austin and make your voices heard. Get on the computer and the social networks and organize. [Everything must revolve around abortion. Nothing else matters]

I am seeing so many cross-currents of thought in my life right now it’s not even funny. I keep reading Solzhenitsyn, and of late he’s been describing the illogical impenetrability of communist thought, and how NO evidence of the evil, the injustice, or just the plain unworkability of the communist system could ever even slightly shake the communist true believer. And I see more and more left wing true believers in our country, and it frightens me.  I also see more and more hijacking of language so that terms like “women’s health” come to mean nothing but weird code speak for unimaginable barbarity.  That’s another similarity with Soviet Russia.

Yay.
