From the title of this post you might think that this is yet another blog entry calling out leftist hypocrisy over Rush Limbaugh’s comments toward Sandra Fluke. There is no need for me to add to those arguments – leftist misogyny has already been well documented, at least when it comes to conservative women. Apparently love for diversity and respectful dialog ends for the leftist when a woman (or any other member of the permanent victimhood community based on their gender, race, or sexual orientation) strays from leftist orthodoxy. But I’m not just talking about conservative women today. The recent Fluke controversy shows the left’s disdain for all women.
How does this media circus prove that leftists hate all women? Look no further than the recently discovered "right" to free contraception – sterilizations services, birth control pills, and of course, morning after abortifacient pills. These of course, give the woman the freedom to explore their sexuality without fear of that most dreadful, life ruining condition that could impede their right to pleasure known as pregnancy. Anyone reading this who is old enough to remember the 80′s or 90′s will remember some buzzwords from those ancient times like "Herpes" and "AIDS". Not to mention many other joys that were around long before those days, such as syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Does anyone know how much protection that the "free" items from above offer from these diseases? That’s right, none. While other Sexually Transmitted Diseases’ (STDs) infection rates have remained steady over the years, chlamydia has been on the rise, and when this piece Obamacare is implemented, our government’s subsidy for unprotected sex will make these diseases even more widespread.
So if you enjoy warts on your genitalia, cold sores, a burning sensation when you pee, having to get penicillin treatments, just follow this administration’s "advice" for how you should take care of yourself. And if you’re lucky you’ll only get one of the maladies that’s actually curable. As the old joke goes, "What’s the difference between love and herpes? Herpes is forever!" (snare drum) Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week. Be sure to tip your bartenders.
If only there were a way to protect women from diseases that was not only reliable but also inexpensive… Yes, I am talking about condoms. They’re cheap, easily available, and actually will protect women (and men, who leftists hate even more) from STD’s. So why wouldn’t leftists favor condom use? There are several reasons:
- They’re cheap. In the left’s efforts to get the public to accept sacrificing any freedom over their health care decisions, having expensive medical needs are necessary to show why average citizens need the government to protect them.
- Condoms are easily accessible. The evil, capitalist system has crated a product that is so cheap and easy to purchase that it would be difficult for the government to swoop in and take over their distribution, thus the need to force solutions that are easier to control.
- It’s a nice payback for Big Pharma for not fighting too hard against Obamacare, forcing citizens to pay them more premiums for these services whether they have any need for them or not.
- If women get diseases and need treatment, that increases their dependency on Obamacare, and government in general. While that will sound insane to most people in the ears of a leftist, to use an Information Technology term, "It’s not a bug; it’s a feature."
"When you entertain your men don’t you know the risk of getting… disease?"
Does that last point sound far fetched? I’ll admit that it does, but consider this – if George W. Bush was putting record numbers of Americans onto food stamps, do you think the mainstream press would acknowledge this for the problem that it is, rather than pretend it is in any way compassionate or that criticism of said policy should be seen as racist. Making more women dependent on the government somehow equates liberation in the left’s eyes.
I understand that my last few points might make me sound like someone typing this in his pajamas as I adjust my tin foil hat. But can someone explain to me how opposing a policy whose net effect will be to hurt more womens’ health equates a “war on women”?

Don’t underestimate yourself, Bob. The Left has a habit of destroying people in its quest to take care of them. The idea that the young woman would have willingly sacrificed her life in anonymity if she had a preview of what a great legislator Teddy was going to be all too often permeates the Leftist psyche. Being willing to sacrifice your dignity as in Fluke and Lewinsky for the greater good of the party or in reality the Socialist Revolution is expected of the mindless followers, but it is articles like yours that will help enlighten those that haven’t traded their should and common sense to the cause. Many more article that explore this phenomenon are needed, if we are to reach those who have not become mindless drones.
The left hates everyone, it is impossible to hate one’s country the way they hate the US without also hating themselves. Self loathing masked with a narcissistic veneer combined with class guilt are necessary to maintain the lunacy that is modern “liberalism”.
This sounded so familiar I thought when I read it, Brother Bob, that I looked for why.
Take a look at what I wrote back on March 6.
A couple days later I became aware that many birth control pills were under recall by the Obama gov’t.
Now, you get something FREE from the gov’t and it kills or maims you.
Who do you or your estate sue?
Evidently a substantial majority of women voters don’t agree that the left is the problem:
“Obama’s lead over Romney is boosted by female voters, who support the president 55 percent to 38 percent over Romney – a 17 point advantage.”
Poll: Female voters put Obama in the lead
A blog post on leftist misogyny that quotes Iron Maiden (well, sort of). I love you, man.
“Surely when you reach the age of forty,
I bet you’ll regret the days when you were laying….”
@Greg: Thank you BOHICAman for your erudite assessment of the poll; may it be ever flawed. Just think, without your inane comments, we wouldn’t have anything to be inflamed over today on FA.
Marine72 It’s true,woman vote Dem. in higher percentages than their male counterparts which is why my Conservative male friends want to repeal the 19th Amendent. lol and Semper Fi
It seems too many women are looking for a daddy to take care of them. They find it in big government of the type the left is pushing.

That might have been so at one time, but the times are changing:

@Scot Z: Dang it! I had an image of Bruce onstage just above the quote but the code must not have come through properly when I sent this to Curt.
Up the irons!
@Brother Bob: Fixed it for ya Brother Bob
Thanks Curt – you rock!
@Greg:
The trend was down in 2010 for women voting for democrats.
Female voters, once a reliable force for Democrats, were roughly split in 2010 between the Democrats and Republicans running for Congress and governor.
Republicans are favored by female likely voters, 49% to 46%.

Over the last two years, Obama has been offering “free” goodies to women to try to get them back.
As others here point out, lots of dependent-types can be swayed by ”free” goodies.
Lucky for Obama that he personally doesn’t have to PAY for his freebies to women….we, taxpayers have to do that.
Brother Bob says, “There is no need for me to add to those arguments – leftist misogyny has already been well documented, at least when it comes to conservative women.” However, he fails to mention the insults of liberal women by Republican—some of which I’ve mentioned on this blog—but, what would you expect?
What insults, Liberal1?
Unless you haven’t noticed, most Conservative minded folk try to be polite and honest to people and especialy more so to women.
It’s funny watching you try to smear a group you don’t like and the, “facts” you use are only just opinions.
I just had to share this:
Dan Rather was talking with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC about the subject of ObamaCare, birth control and the religious mandate.
Dan actually asked Rachel, “Do you know any woman, of any race, creed, color or religion, who doesn’t use some form of birth control?”
Well, lol Mr. Rather!

@Nan G, #13:
I don’t think the President’s current 17 percent advantage with women voters has much to do with “free goodies”. I think it has to do with the right’s negative attitudes about women’s sovereignty over their own bodies, and with the increasingly oppressive laws and regulations they’re pushing across the nation to diminish that sovereignty. It also has to do with the right’s opposition to equal pay laws, the right’s resistance to guaranteed health insurance for children, the right’s apparent indifference to children living in poverty, the right’s hostility toward public education, etc. Women pay close attention to such things.
Republican candidates have either bought into such regressive ideas, or have pandered to the far right minority that advocates them. The result is the 17 point disadvantage among women. I’m surprised it isn’t even worse.
Voting age women outnumber voting age men. A higher percentage of women actually vote than men. There will be consequences.
@Greg:
You cannot fight discrimination by administering legislation that is discriminatory in practice. Doing so actually contradicts the idea that we are all born equal. It also contradicts the idea that the source of our freedoms and liberties is not government, but God, or natural.
For example, equal pay laws. To legislate an equality in pay means that in addressing a real issue, that is, unequal pay for women doing the same job as men, means that you subscribe to the idea, whether you realize it or not, that women are, in fact, unequal to men. I know of no conservative who feels or believes this way. It also means that you subscribe to the feeling that in order to make an equal result, in this case wages, that government has the right and ability to dictate wage scales. Not just for women, but for all of us.
Once you give that right and ability to government, you also give them the right to legislate exactly what anyone, anywhere in the country, can be paid for a particular job. If you are a business owner, you then have lost the freedom to pay your employees more, or less, than the prevailing wages for the job(s) in question. You, as a business owner, have lost an important incentive to use to hire employees to your business, rather than a competitor’s. It’s the law of unintended consequences, Greg.
And, if you assume that conservatives are truly against women, then what you have given them is the ability to create differing wages for not only gender, but also race, age, sexual preference, etc, when they are the ones in power. Yes, it sounds silly, but that is the truth. And also, I might add, unrealistic given what I know of conservatives.
Just as the affirmative action legislation has done, such legislation as above will not result in equality, especially in opportunity, but rather, the opposite. Again, it’s the law of unintended consequences, Greg.
It’s funny, really…
Most women in the work places I’ve been in have held high paying positions due to their skillsets, focus of detail, and tribute to a Company’s success… Oh wait, most of these women also spent their time training, testing, and passing various classes and certification processes that their male counterparts can equaly enter into and have surpassed most of their male counterparts…
This isn’t the 1950’s.
THE LEFTIST HATE WOMAN BECAUSE THE WOMAN ARE ANGRY AND THEY LIFT THE FINGER ON EVERY ONE OF THEM, BECAUSE THEY FIND THE LEFT GUTLESS TO EXPOSE THEIR OWN UP THE LADDER, AND THAT IS THE WORSE THING THAT WOMAN HATE AND DISRESPECT ARE THE COWARDS,
OF THE LEFT they are discovering.
