As to the ad, no, I doubt she could cook an omelette without help. But, G_d help you if you step into the ring with her. Obamacare won’t adequately cover your trauma bill, I’m betting.

Dante, you’re a sack of excrement. Your only purpose here to dissemble, to run ”damage control” for your illiberal ideologiocy.

It plays to the Dem feminist base, too, offering them an picture (monumentally false as it is), of a stay-at-home mom, a (shudder) non-working unprofessional woman.

And, if the recipe theme has NOTHING to do with her gender, where’s the House Majority PAC’s kitchen-themed ad about one of the male candidates it’s attacking? Find it for me.

I’m shocked you would trot out a logical fallacy.

Dante on October 12, 2012 at 2:03 PM

You know, MKH, I understand why conservative blogs allow lefty posters the privilege of posting, unlike DU or Kos – the principle of fair-mindedness and allowing all points of view and all that. But, here at Hot Air, the lefty posters, AKA trolls, don’t really care to debate their points of view vis a vis conservatives. All they care about is the dissemination of strawmen, red herrings, and squirrels in order to distract and divert the conversation, especially when their side is getting the worst of it.

Which leads me to my question: Aren’t you authorized to swing the banhammer? Because if anyone deserves it, it’s Dante.

Had to reread your comment again. If I take you correctly, if I do, you realize “you” are who everyone was referring to in the mentality that makes this ad sexist.

I read your comments and have never seen this side of your rationale. Please tell me I’m mistaken about your context. Specifically that McSally was promoted because of gender and you’d vote for the donk over her because you hate seeing women progress in the military?

Surly I’m mistaken.

BigSven on October 13, 2012 at 6:02 AM

How many “Big” years did Sven serve?

Give me a break.

Been saying it for some time now. This guy was never voting for Paul. He’s an Obama Boy.

If you want to put a total “Pain in the ass” in Congress—- Martha McSally is your man !!

All the “below the radar” stuff seen on this “male” wannabe , military ass-pain, prima-dona makes BigSven suddenly become bi-partisan.

BigSven is sticking with Ron Barber on this one !!

“For crying out loud, I served 26 years in the military. I was too busy shooting 30 mm out of my A-10 at the Taliban and al Qaeda to spend any time in a kitchen.”–whined McSally (careful–when angered, she might “kick you in the jimmy”)

Sorry man…this alone gives YOU NO cred with BigSven….government “diversity” pain-in-the-ass promotees —Had a bellyfull of them !!

That shift was where the feminists lost me in the seventies.

A-yep, I hear you. Coming of age in the ’80s as I did, I found so-called “second wave” feminism (i.e. gender feminism) exceedingly unappealing. Later on it became lunatic, creating its own myths of a matriarchal past with no war (yeah, right! Ask an archaeologist if there was ever a time with no war.). Ursula K. LeGuin (whose science fiction I love) has advocated for a female-run society “ruled by custom, not by law”. She has no idea what a straitjacket that would be. At least, under law, you can face your accusers, sue for injunctive relief, appeal an adverse decision, campaign to change a law, etc. Custom, on the other hand, is merciless. Imagine a society run by whispering campaign. The thought makes me shudder.

Feminism didn’t just lose you and me. It lost its way. Modern feminism has moved on from improving women’s lot in life and has tackled the destruction of Western society. It is objectively pro-Islamofascism: Modern feminism doesn’t seem to give a damn about the actual plight of modern women who are being mutilated in their tenderest parts as children, stoned to death for wearing make-up, etc. Oh, no — it’s much more important to win the “pronoun wars,” or lead the fight against gendered restrooms.

Feminism as it presently stands has damaged our culture, possibly beyond repair (though I hope not).

The answer lies in the progressive mindset. Early feminism (equity feminism) said, “You don’t have to stay in the kitchen just because you’re female, ladies! If you want to work outside the house, you can and should be able to.” Modern feminism (gender feminism) says, “You must abandon the kitchen. Moreover, you must denounce and deplore it as a symbol and tool of the Male Oppressor. Your personal desires are irrelevant and must be sacrificed for the Greater Good of Ending Male Oppression and exacting revenge for the thousands of years of Oppression practiced upon us all by Males. If you make the same choice your ancestresses did, simply because you prefer it, you are a Traitor and a Quisling.”

LOL, I did have similar thoughts.

Dante on October 12, 2012 at 9:32 AM

Sure. Arm, leg or skull?

Now here is the first concrete example of a sexist.

Dante on October 12, 2012 at 7:40 PM

aside from yourself that is.

Sorry, I want her to win but women need to stay out of combat.
