Pat Powers put up an interesting post has he pointed out the Dakota Women web site going after Shantel Krebs. Here is an excerpt from Dakota Women:
The Krebs MO: promoting an agenda of women’s equality in business…not to be confused with just plain women’s equality. True to Republican form, Krebs prefers her poverty (and like issues) out of sight and out of mind. A party superwoman, she’s apparently a-okay laying her own ovaries on the line for the greater political good – yikes. Just because she’s a woman doesn’t mean she gives a damn about the rest of us gals out there.
Troy Jones left a comment that hits on a theme that I have exposed as Cultural Marxism:
K, as you admit, you are "not sure what (Pat is) getting at here." Pat was just pointing out that writer of the blog was making bigoted hate speech under the guise of a self-appointment to define how women should stand on certain issues. The thrust of the blog is similar to the idea that only blacks can use the N word to denigrate other blacks. Denigration and hate speech should just be admonished. People (regardless of gender) of goodwill are turned of by hate-speech.
Troy is right, it is not Shantel Krebs who hates, it is the anonymous far-left feminists at Dakota Women. And Bill Fleming left a comment in response to Troy’s position that exposes the Marxism in the left’s thinking:
5. Troy. Clearly there are female issues just as there are race issues and a host of other minority issues, with corresponding laws and constitutional amendments to go with them.
Take the ERA for example, or any abortion issue. Those issues are far more urgent and relevant to women than to men, just as Jim Crow laws were far more urgent and relevant to blacks than to whites.
I don’t understand why you are arguing to the contrary.
Surely your position on abortion would be different than a woman’s since you, yourself will never become pregnant. And I would even go so far as to argue that your opinion on such issues carries far less weight.
In fact, on the extreme edges, I would say that if you were supportive of Jim Crow laws for example, chances are you were a bigot.
Do you see what I’m saying?
The minority being oppressed will always have a special and ultimately more moral position than will the oppressor.
Note the oppressed versus the oppressor? This is the classic Marxist class warfare that is divisive and promotes hate. The multiculturists’ diversity as being tolerant is a lie. It is the far-left who is intolerant and is creating hatred in America and disunity. All to undermine traditional American Judeo-Christian principles so that a one-world government can replace this country’s sovereignty.
The ideas that abortion is only women’s issue is also a myth as Mark Crutcher destroys it with his latest column:
I write this to America's pro-choice community.
It seems that a shop-worn old theme you people regurgitate from time to time is back making the rounds once more. On several radio talk shows I've done recently, I have been admonished that I have no right to be involved in the abortion issue because I am male. Some of you have even gone so far as to advocate that only female elected officials be allowed to vote on legislation that might impact abortion.
Even if we ignore your blatant sexism, I advise you to be careful what you ask for. After all, when polls are broken down by gender, they consistently find that women oppose abortion at a higher rate than men, are more opposed to government funding of abortion, are more active in the pro-life movement, and are more likely to favor banning abortion outright. In other words, if you exclude men, support for legal abortions plummet.
The reality is the most numerous proponents of legalized abortion are men. Of course, that makes perfect sense given that men are the ones who most profit from it. That is why, with almost no exceptions, pioneers of the women's movement like Susan B. Anthony, Mattie Brinkerhoff, Sarah Norton, Emma Goldman, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were outspoken opponents of legalized abortion. It is also true that suffragist newspapers such as Woodhull's and Claflin's Weekly had editorial policies that openly attacked both abortion and abortionists. Even Alice Paul, the woman who wrote the original Equal Rights Amendment, considered legalized abortion to be the ultimate exploitation of women.
These early feminists saw that abortion is patronizing and paternalistic and that it doesn't free women, it devalues them. They understood that, as a practical matter, legalized abortion is nothing more than a safety net for sexually predatory and sexually irresponsible men.
Abortion is not just a women’s issue. Statistically, I argue half of the aborted pre-borns are male. All of the aborted pre-borns have fathers. Dakota Women do not represent the majority of women in South Dakota. Their views do not represent America. Their views do not represent the truth. Those anonymous far-left feminists don't even represent themselves.
