Women, aren't you tired of being pandered to?

[blobfish]

Obama's guys are fearmongering with the "war on women" shit, and Romney's guys are countering by trotting out inanities to prove how progressive he is.

Has anyone stopped to ask why this is suddenly a major issue? Neither candidate wants to outlaw abortion or birth control, so why is this garbage in the news constantly? Maybe, just maybe it's because women are a very important voting block in this election.

Stop and think for a moment: if Asians were the most important voters, wouldn't Obama accuse Romney of engaging in a "war on Asians", and wouldn't Romney be talking about his folder full of Asians?

It appears as an 'X' to me.

I'll stick with Obama. He's been consistent about women. As far as Asians go, sure, if Asians were constantly being denied rights and autonomy that no other group was being denied.

Yeah, because women are denied so many rights. Historically, minorities have had it far worse.

I don't pay much attention to their views on such things unless they say something really outrageous. Politicians can be vile human beings. Doesn't mean they can't do the job.

This is all meaningless, because neither of them are going to change anything related to women's issues in any significant way. It's not 1970 anymore.

 

[LadyVer]

Right, blob. You know what pisses me off? Men who think they know so much about women and their rights. It never fails to amaze me how brilliant they think they are. While you sit here and blather on about how much you know about women and their rights women have to put up with elected leaders and other asshats who say women should never have gotten the right to vote, rhey should have no right to contraception or the decision to have an abortion, that there's rape then there's real rape, that women don't have the right to get paid as much as a man nor to sue when they're paid less for doing the same job as a man, that a woman is only good for birthing babies and staying at home. You're just another self-righeous man who doesn't know anything about women and their rights.

 

[KRCummings]

That's why I don't much care what they think about these things. Waste of time and distracts from subjects they really can influence.

Yeah, cuz he totally said all that.

Could be, or it could be that I'm not so quick to cry victim. There's a misogynist around every corner, isn't there? To top it all off, you've missed my point by several miles.

Also, please provide evidence of the politician that wants to repeal the ninteenth amendnent.

Enjoy voting for Obama. Good thing you don't want to marry a woman.

Do you think that's what most of your friends believe as well? I think that most women understand that this is meant as a distraction, but the vocal minority drowns them out.

I am so happy blob is around to tell us what we think.

I know people who vote based on what they're fed by TV and people who stop and think. In my experience women tend to stop and think more but they also get more emotional when there is a perceived attack.

 

[blobfish]

Ha, this one was pretty funny.

 

[LillyO]

Oh did Romney change his view on abortion again? I keep losing track of what it is this year.

 

[blobfish]

Yeah, I can see that. To be fair, both men and women are pretty well hooked on the TV drip. It makes me wonder if people are dumber now, or if they just blindly believed newspapers before.

I have never heard anybody say seriously that women should not have gotten the right to vote. The only people who say women should have no right to birth control are members of relicious hierarchies, and even they know they are shouting into the wind. There are many people, men and women, who oppose abortion, and I AM NOT one of them.

As for rape and real rape, they have a certain point there. As for equal pay for doing the same work, women have the right to that, and have had it since the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed.

 

[KRCummings]

Yeah, I can see that. To be fair, both men and women are pretty well hooked on the TV drip. It makes me wonder if people are dumber now, or if they just blindly believed newspapers before.

It's always been this way but only recently has so much bad information been available. We were all less stupid before the internet.

Give him a break, not everyone has a binder full of women on hand.

 

[blobfish]

I think so. It was around the same time that Obama stopped opposing gay marriage.

Also, you seem to be confusing me with a Romney supporter.

 

[blobfish]

I think the internet has had a positive impact. At the least, it allows for a little more exposure to alternative viewpoints. Idiots might not know how to take it with a grain of salt, though.

 

[blobfish]

I'm actually in the process of converting to digital.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Actually, I think pandering, like pimping, is something one does with women, not to them.

You mean the Pink Pander? I did that with a girl once. It's alright, but she needs to take a shower both before and after.
