Hilary Clinton is a lawyer she therefore, parses more than talks..uses legally ok and therefore..blameless words when she speaks.When she claims misogyny, both from men and women, for her loss in her presidential bid, we have to take note of what she means, especially as she has made sexism such a bone of contention in the media and in politics.
There have been many well thought of leaders who were also women, Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher..and women currently leading countries..Merkel and May. That's a wide span of time and cultures. Obviously women can be elected to political positions. Mrs. Clinton herself has been a Senator, and Secretary of State, positions of weight and authority. So , what she is claiming is about a deeper down, hidden level of belief that women are worth less than men, the rage about her loss shows she has tied into a culture that believes this. No matter how much money they make, how much fame they have, somehow men are keeping them from achieving. Interestingly, I read a report in the last couple of months that states the only lower-than-population segment in the bureaucracies of our government...is white men. Feminists have linked themselves to LGBT issues. minorities ( generally just called brown skinned people..how degrading) Islam, and socialists. Never mind that boys now play on girls teams,without hormone therapy therefore..still fully male. That a girl was allowed to wrestle while taking testosterone. that positions on Olympic teams, standings for scholarships, all the benefits of girls sports, can now be legally taken by..males. That..they could lie. they may never"transition." That Islam has a record of treatment of women that is abominable. That socialism reduces everyone to the same level of survival, and fails as national policy.The liberals themselves have reduced themselves to being vaginas, while claiming a surgically created vagina is equal to their own. Such a mindset, that does not allow thought or care for birth bonding and breastfeeding, is a doomed ideology. We don't live forever..new humans will get born and do get born. Nope, gotta get rid of the patriarchy. No one can help being white...or brown,, or any other shade of skin. Most of us have a religion we grew up with. Deliberate conversion is, frankly, rare.The focus on white males as having too much power is a little strange, It was white settlers who came here, many of the feminists, including Mr Clinton herself, are descendants of these white settlers. Some of us came here in the 1700's. and some last week. Many immigrant groups suffered and worked hard , from the Welsh to the Irish to the Cubans, and of course, those of African descent often came here unwillingly.Slaves. a brutal mark on our progression in human rights, Treating people as property,,also doesn't work, We have had the vote (women) for 100 years. We have been leaving home and working since the 1960's (though poorer women always worked if they could.) Divorce is legal,women can go to any school in any profession, serve in the military.. So the record is not what women are talking about, the number of women in the work force is not what they are talking about, and they have allied themselves with other groups to present a united front against..patriarchy. If half the world is male, what in the world are they so angry about? I am not saying individuals can not be misogynists, or that businesses do not take advantage of women..because they have kids to feed,or because they will work harder, to hire for less/not promote it is a predatory way of doing business..the same reason they are so adamant about illegal workers and immigrant workers. They will work for less. Governments can work to stem the most brutal impulses of businesses..but often, they do not. Politicians live or die by donations, This is a class and power struggle more than a feminist struggle. Would a more..female..government make the changes needed? I doubt it. they need donations too. Leaving the power structure in place is what works, for big business. So we have to dig deeper for who the targets are, of the claim of misogyny. I think it is Christianity., Yes, she used to carry a Bible to meetings, when it suited her purposes (during her husband's presidency... this woman is the master of re-inventing herself. And what feminist woman would "stand by her man" during a sex scandal? It was for power, a pay off, Meaning...did she really earn that Senate seat or was it handed to her?) Christians who espouse the social mores presented in the Bible will tell you,, God made families, with men in charge, A bit of an oversimplification, but women were to be nourished, protected,, as a Paul says so clearly in his letters.Moses set standards for divorce, because in most of this world, most of the time, a man could send a woman packing,,back to her family if she was lucky, and take any mate he chose. Jesus further refined this, saying adultery ( breaking the marriage vows) were the only legitimate reason for divorce. Interestingly, women did do business in Israel, and were praised for their industry Proverbs 31 10b A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 15She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants. 16She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. ... Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29“Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” 30Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. The Church ( born again believers) is presented as a Bride for Christ, Christ is the Head, this follows the same pattern of right relationship. God and Israel, How often is adultery used as a synonym for spiritual abandonment? Deborah was a judge.Sarah and Rachel were prophetesses..women of spiritual worth in their own right. Many of those who followed Jesus and supported Paul were women (and both was celibate..nothing personal for them to gain out of that support) Esther, Rahab, Ruth....where is there no power in their stories?or condemnation for being female, and in some cases, gentile? How many former priestesses and prostitutes did Paul convert? Given this pattern, that men should properly guide both home and church, a pattern that is godly, and does not diminish women, but allows them to do their best for family and church, but which totally negates the current mantra of victimization, hatred of women, and "refusal" to share power to women, LGBT and people "of color" ... Her statement is about rebellion towards God, that anyone who can get advantage over another human being, should do so that. Christianity is the only fly in the ointment as far as making a modern global society.( note antisemitism is also on the rise, that God might have a chosen people, or that Jewish people might do well in this world, enrages some people) Christians do a lot of charity work, teach their members to stay way from sexual sin, gambling, addiction..divorce..though our record is not far different from our secular counterparts, sadly. Insisting that each human has worth, that freedoms be respected, and that maybe, trying to make society genderless (so obviously, feminists think that with that done, women will get ahead more than their share. they secretly do think women are superior) is a ridiculous notion that flies in the face of common sense and nature....is the idea of..patriarchy. that men somehow use their strength to withhold society's fruits from women. the idea of a balance between the sexes, of a couple being"one body" that makes its way in this world, the nucleus of a family (also hated by most liberals, yet even scientific study suggests an intact family, a father and mother, is best for children) is to be overturned for women "doing as they please." well, every child wants that, and every adult knows there are limits. The very first rebel was Satan, He too wanted to take a seat of power, without being entitled to it (the Throne of God) Mrs Clinton wants power in this world, also still ruled by Satan. God always has the final say. Whether we believe it or not.. We were not subjected to this amoral abysmal version of society..at least not yet. Democrats..liberals and progressives all, have been handed nearly 1000 defeats in the last 8 years.We may survive as a country for a while longer. God has a plan, the globalists don;t win..until he allows it ( removes the Restrainer) Hillary threw her lot in with Satan and the rise of the Antichrist. Strangely, he is a man. So the whole feminist ideology that blames misogyny is a grasping for power . that's it. It accomplishes.nothing for women as a whole. |
