Fascist feminism strikes again: victorious conservative women are “a blow to feminism”

[ Feminist Nonsense ]   

One would think that feminists would rejoice to see women victorious in political elections. But today’s feminism is not after equality; the movement has been hijacked by rabid fascist feminists. These new feminists require that, in order to be a “real” feminist, you have to walk in lock step with them, toe the fascist feminist line, and never disagree with them on a single issue. And their stance on every issue is always, of course, liberal. They want unlimited taxpayer-funded abortions available right up until the moment of birth, universal health care, universal day care, open borders, a weaker military, massive welfare systems, the government taking the place of fathers in families — basically anything you can think of to destroy western civilization.

So it isn’t altogether surprising that these fascist feminists would show such vitriol towards conservative women like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. They denounce them for their conservative views, while saying that no one can make a litmus test for true feminists. They say that they champion strong, empowered women, yet they consistently try to instill a victim mentality in women, telling them that the patriarchy is always keeping them down and that everything women have accomplished is thanks to feminism. (Apparently, for these fascist feminists, women aren’t strong enough to accomplish anything based on their own merits.)

Given all of this, Tina Brown’s reaction to four wins by conservative women over male opponents on Tuesday is unsurprising. Because these women are conservative, their successes are considered “a blow to feminism”.

As Allah pointed out, these women won based on merit, and not because of their gender. Fascist feminists want gender to be the sole focus… well, gender and espousing liberal “women’s issues”. The thought of women caring about things like less gun control, a stronger military, closing the border, fiscal responsibility, and smaller government sends them into a self-righteous rage. And so, they’ll engage in… misogyny! They’ll demean conservative women, insult them, refuse to defend them when they’re attacked, smeared, and sexualized, and sometimes even take part in the abuse. All of the misogynistic rage on the part of fascist feminists is always in the name of feminism, because somehow, people like Jessica Valenti, Melissa McEwan, Amanda Marcotte, and this Tina Brown have become feminism’s gatekeepers. Believe abortion is wrong, like, say, Sarah Palin? Even though Palin is intelligent, powerful, accomplished, and empowered, they’ll still discredit her. They’ll scream in outrage about Palin calling herself a feminist, and all because she has the audacity to be pro-life. They engage in sexism to defeat her, just because she thinks for herself instead of letting Valenti & Co. dictate how she should think.

[W]hen Wonkette and the merry band of leftist misfits diminish a gorgeous, POWERFUL, conservative woman the day after she has demonstrated proof of said power by drawing attention to her breasts, they are being sexist pigs. Even if they’re feminists. Even if they’re women.

They are using this age-old tool to diminish and degrade her power as a politician and human. They are no different than the sleazy boss ogling the assistant and making a comment about her nice new blouse (wink wink) after she has asked for a raise for doing excellent work.

What is appalling is that these same sexist dirtbags will cry foul about anyone making a comment about Elena Kagan or Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama’s changing appearance. In addition, these are the same people who have worked out multiple ways to restrict and diminish free speech so no one gets offended.

And then, when useful to them, they turn around and use the very same rhetorical device to destroy a political opponent.

This is why I call them fascist feminists. If you want to have a home in today’s feminist movement, then you cannot think for yourself. You have to have the exact same ideals, values, and principles that the fascist feminists have. If you don’t, then they will try to destroy you by any means possible, even while they say they’re working for women.

It’s condescending, really. Basically, these feminists are saying that it’s OK for men to have different thoughts and perspectives, but women must all think exactly the same and only care about a certain set of “women’s issues”.

This is why when women like Nikki Haley, Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman, and Sharron Angle, who think for themselves and don’t toe the fascist feminist line, are victorious, feminists are furious. They aren’t out for the advancement and success for women. They’re out to advance their own radical agenda, an agenda that most American women don’t agree with. Women may be wing nuts? Well, feminists can be misogynists. Tina Brown, Amanda Marcotte, and Jessica Valenti are perfect examples.

These feminists don’t speak for women anymore. And unless these fascist feminists change their ways, they’ll find themselves fading more and more into obscurity and irrelevance.
