LET THE FEMINISTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
Andrew E. Carlan

Never in the field of human endeavor has so little been owed by so many to so few. Adapted from Churchill on Feminism

Femininity appears to be one of those pivotal qualities that is so important no one can define it. ~ Caroline Bird, former justice California Supreme Court, actiually dismissed before California went over the bend on a recall petition ~

The bird is wrong.. I have the definition in front of me. Serious mental illness or disorder impairing a person’s capacity to function normally and safely.

My own definition of Feminism is much more Hegelian. That is, it goes on for pages and pages. Here is an excerpt.

There is nothing new about Feminism. It is not a theory. It is a recurring social disease. It is today's Witchcraft, Theosophy, Puritanism and the whole European peasantry during Black Plagues who went collectively beserk on psychotic roller-coaster rides. 

I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven Barbra Steissand.

I can attest to this. I saw her led into a limo by two men in white coats. She drove herself mad drinking from the elixir of far-left Democrats. Now she was being driven to an asylum for the wealthy, which in California includes some well-known entertainers, professors, politicians, churchmen, psychiatrists, children of psychiatrists, lawyers, doctors, school board members and teachers, ethnic leaders, university presidents and students, especially at Berkeley. In fact, The whole state of California has been declared an emergency ward by Governor Grey Davis, who also took time off for electro-shock R&R.

Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so.~ Andrea Dworkin ~

I didn’t realize Dworkin lived in California. Well we now know who Barbra is sharing her room with.

However sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group’s greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, class, religion or all four. However far it may expand, the progression inevitably rests on unequal power and airtight roles within the family.

For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can’t possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman’s body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.

Law and justice are not always the same. When they aren’t, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it.

Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.

Over sixty years Steinem was able during lucid moments to write this somewhat readable gibberish. As far as the bras and panties are concerned more power and slippage to them. Gloria herself got in and out of them fast with almost every powerful man in New York and Washington. Remember she’s the only Feminist men can fantasize about. She didn’t have to be a Feminist like the others. She could have made it as a Playboy bunny.

Gloria Steinem shares with Freud the distinction that everything he said that was true wasn’t new and everything he said that was new wasn’t true.

The heaviness of these ideas could give you the bends if you come up for air too quickly. On the other hand, if anything keeps alive the idea that women are weightless from the neck up it is spongy and humdrum ideas like these. What’s to disagree? They could mean everything, which, naturally, means they don’t mean anything.

Gloria is a very sick person. She has a multiple father fixation. She had affairs only with the richest and most powerful men including Henry Kissenger. What she and Henry talked about defies imagination. He speaks an English dialect which is a combination of throat cancer, intellectual gibberish and a German accent even his mother couldn’t understand although they lived in the same house together in Germany until he was nine. Henry’s mother spoke English without an accent. His accent makes him sound like a rural Bavarian secondary school teacher. But Gloria never seemed particularly interested in dialogue.

Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.

We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.

We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.- Ursula K. Le Guin ~

Now you know why normal people, females as well as males make wide detours around volcanoes. All that comes out of them is hot garbage like this from inside the earth’s core. Besides most are dormant or extinct.

The great mass of women throughout history have been confined to the cultural level of animal life in providing the male with sexual outlet and exercising the animal functions of reproduction and care of the young.~ Kate Millet

Kate, could you come with me when I represent a father in family court? You could repeat this ranting to the thickheaded judge ready to apply the "tender age doctrine." Just tell him in your own inimitable and charming way that care of the young makes women nothing more than teats. I’ve been telling judges for years that the Feminists openly express hatred of motherhood. But family court judges are functional illiterates. They assume their bathroom talk with other judges is like Plato’s forum. How could it be otherwise? They know more than anyone who happens into their courtroom.

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.~ Virginia Woolf ~

I noticed. We saw for a few seconds after 9-11 NOW shut its big mouth in the face of a sudden burst of patriotism. But Kim Handy Dandy Gandhi quickly broke the spell. She demanded NOW get (the used most word in NOW’s limited vocabulary) the same amount the government gave widows and orphans of the heroic firemen, the unfortunates who burnt to crisps inside the towers or smashed themselves to death hurtling out of the 80th story. Only one of the over 400 firemen, yes men, who gave their lives was a woman. Shows exactly where Kim Handy Dandy Gandhi’s bedraggled mind lies in wait. This Big Mouth could really get hurt. You don’t play word games with the grieving New York Police and Fire Departments like you do with intellectuals and politicians. She should be straightjacketed off wherever Streisand and Dworkin are locked up for her own protection.

Those who live in a world of human beings can only retrace their steps --Nathalie Sarraute

Anyone who can unlock the meaning of this sentence should see a psychiatrist immediately. And the psychiatrist should see one too.

And to end this section on a serious note:

Folly is a more dangerous enemy to the good than evil. One can protest against evil; it can be unmasked and, if need be, prevented by force. Evil always carries the seeds of its own destruction... Against folly we have no such defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it; reasoning is no use...

So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied; in fact, he can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make him aggressive. A fool must therefore be treated more cautiously than a scoundrel.—Dietrich Bonhöffer,

Dietrich Bonhoffer was a Lutheran pastor who headed the underground protestant church during the Third Reich. He paid for protesting the Holocaust by being hung on meathooks until dead and filmed for Hitler’s pleasure. He could have remained in the safety of America where he had joined the faculty of Union Theological Seminary. His friends begged him not to go back. But he did his duty.

NOW I GET MY CHANCE FOR A FEW MADEUP TEASERS AT THEIR EXPENSE

"A landed immigrant from Saudi Arabia in smoking sneakers should enjoy the same rights as a citizen" said Carol Gilligan, of Gilligan’s Island. Since escaping that antediluvian paradise Gilligan hooked up as Professor of Education at Harvard University in Cambridge. Cambridge hasn’t had either a nuclear or Catholic mass in 40 years. But it does have 55 mosques, many with feudal weaponry on the roof and modern arms stockpiles in the basement. One adjacent to a Unitarian Church blew up in 1999. The Unitarians believe everyone is basically good as does most of Cambridge, except for men and Christians. The Unitarians invited the Muslim congregation to use their church. It blew up six months later. Six Unitarians now know whether or not there is a hell.  

Arguing with Feminists is about as useful as arguing with chickens while on a stampede from ravenous wolves.

Lots of people think feminists are stupid. Affirmative action doesn’t do much to refute this. Notice who vibrates skillfully and painfully to the jackhammer and who holds the drooping red flag at construction sites.  

When Feminists claim they are liberals and humanists, I laugh. I know they know they are pulling my leg.  

There is much emptiness and little joy in the Feminist twilight of our civilization.
