They’re Everywhere!…And They Don’t Even Know They’re Feminists!

Posted on January 10, 2009 by nls

It used to be that everyone was a comedian.  Today…everyone’s a feminist.  Go figure.  I suspect that next we’ll see these gems on the cover of Ms. Mag:

Homer Simpson

Larry Flynt

Beavis and Butthead

or even

The Dice Man.

    This is your masterpiece. Bravo!

    why thank you BB! You and myiq2xu certainly inspired my creativity!

    Maybe after his appearance at the most historical inauguration evah, we can find some way to think Rick Warren for all his fine feminist works.

    If you’re gonna do Homer, what about Al Bundy?

    With friends like this who needs enemies?
    To the young females that gave up all that the older women fought for you deserve this.
    But the smart females that are still fighting for our rights both young and old do not deserve this.
    It has just become harder then ever to be treated with respect and equality. But we will prevail.
    We make them nervous that is a good thing.

    Terrific, SOD! Here’s what a commenter said over at Joseph’s place:

    I want Larry Flynt to put up a cover on his rag of a suitably un-attired young woman with “this is what an ALPHA male looks like” across her chest.

    The adoration and anticipation of the inaugural continue. Maybe he’ll have his superman costume on underneath his great coat and can rip it open and fly off:

    The AP notes history “wants something for the ages” in Barack Obama’s Jan. 20 inaugural speech. “Not just pretty words that melt like gumdrops but something that will settle in the nation’s soul and be worth making schoolchildren memorize 100 years from now.”

    There are so many other possibilities… Al Bundy! Ted Bundy! Andrew Dice Clay! The Pope!

    I was thinking John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Howard Dean would make good editions.

    Love the post SOD!!!

    LOL —

    This is to funny… Mind you — I finding it funny that the so called Feminist blogs haven’t said a peep about this, nada, nothing, ziltch… A big fat negative.

    Oh yeah, that’s right, we are bitter dried up old dingbats who don’t understand Obama is everything to everyone. He even has a place for Rick Warren!

    I really don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I have outrage fatigue. The whole country seems to have entered the Twilight zone.

    Tremendous SOD! You all have been on fire yesterday and today.

    myiq – you had me going with that buyout of Ms. post.

    SOD can you do a cover with ‘MSogynist?’ I mean tell it like it is.

    Maybe the next 4 or so years could be a golden age of satire. We certainly need it desperately.

    Hillaryorbust has a call for a boycoot of MS and contact info to let them know what we think of all this (also posted at NQ. I haven’t actually READ this rag in years, but I’ll definitely be letting them know this is not MY idea of what a feminist looks like – perhaps we should send them some REAL options for that cover (Hillary, Lily Ledbetter, Gerry Ferraro, Victoria Woodhull, Frances Perkins, etc. You get my drift, but I’m not Photoshop-literate yet).

  35. Sophie, on January 10, 2009 at 3:20 pm said:

    SOD: I hope you have a good lawyer. Only MS gets to determine who a real Feminist ™ is.

  36. madamab, on January 10, 2009 at 3:21 pm said:

    Personally, I am offended that feminists like Michael Savage, Howard “Take off your top” Stern and Glenn Beck were not considered for this honor. Is Ms. ignoring the conservative achievers in this area? For shame, Ms. I thought we were all post-partisan now!

    SOD, absolutely wonderful. It’s amazing, but some of those who you have “honored” would actually believe they deserve it especially since they are suffering from “post partisan syndrome.” One that hasn’t made it to your Wall of Shame — Ms. Huffpoop herself Arrrrrriiiiiaaaannnaaa.

    “wants something for the ages”

    Oh, god, no, not another Lincoln comparison before the man has served one single day. This is the 200th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth in KY, and the state plans big-time tourism-drawing celebrations. If there are connections to this & the Lincoln Messiah, I really will lose what’s left of my 2008 mind. I swear, if they haul in busloads of kids to Hodgenville to indocrinate the little minds to Obama-fawn, I’ll…..

    Now that I think about it, this could be the gift that keeps on giving. We should have a periodic “Feminist of the Month” post.

    BTW – Considering that Al Bundy has made a career of selling women’s shoes, I think he’s done more to help women than Barack Obama.

    ok state of disbelief-

    but I bet Teddy B at least inspired the “purpose driven bigot” Mr Rev Rick Warren who in your picture is doing a mighty good impression of a “Bear” (gay man of size with facial hair). Man in that picture Rev Warren looks like he could be Gov Richardsons cousin.

    I bet that is why Rev ricky hates us so his repressed sexual desire for furry cigar smokin’ men in leather and jackboots!

    Madamab did rev ricky come up on you repressed Homo radar?

    I found it odd that Donna Brazile is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the WOMEN’S AND GENDER STUDIES PROGRAM at Georgetown University…

    http://explore.georgetown.edu/people/dlb42/?PageTemplateID=101

    It seems historically there have been times when women’s and AA’s civil rights progress have been in conflict (for example, the split in the Women’s Movement over support for the 15th amendment to the constitution because it did not include protections for women). So, I wonder if many people in today’s naional women’s organizations want to support AA’s via B0 to pave the way for allying more with people of color…especially women…in the future? Or is this the influence of some women of color in these women’s organizations who may feel that it is more important in their lives to support an AA man than to support women’s rights? Well, of course, people can choose whatever they want but to me, the purpose of a “women’s” organization should be primarily to support women’s human rights.

    Pat-none of the above. Really.

    Though I was one of the “original” labled anorexics when I was quite young–in 1972. In KC, I was the first documented case. Hospitalized and at my lowest (sit-down) 58lbs.

    Pat J — not all campaign promises can be kept? He is actually f*cking saying that? Of course they can if you don’t go promising everything to everyone. Of course, I personally don’t expect Obama to keep one of his campaign promises. I hope those morons who voted for him are happy — when I pointed out obvious promises that Obama could not keep (for example, in NOLA he made a speech promising to have the levees completely re-built within one year after taking office — I pointed out to people that promise was impossible because it would take one year just to haul the dirt needed to LA to do it) I was called a r@cist for my troubles. How dare I try to use logic or examine what the f*ck the guy was saying!?!?! UGH! Idiots! I’m surrounded by intellectual pygmies!

  122. DYB, on January 10, 2009 at 5:29 pm said:

    Maybe he’s admitting this stuff now, before the inauguration, because he knows it won’t do too much damage to his image. The coronation that’s coming is going to consume every news outlet in the most glowing of terms. So he’s getting the bad news out now so later he can say: “But I told you all this ages ago!”

    DYB — you are right — that is exactly what he is doing — I told you all so don’t blame me! But it is still infuriating because the Obots would slam Hillary for not promising everything to everyone (for example, she said she didn’t know about public financing) & praise Obama for making promises he had no intention or ability to keep. When he eventually broke said promised (public financing, FISA) they still excused him & had the nerve to continue to bash Hillary for keeping hers (her FISA vote was just to “show Obama up” — I’m still enraged by that one)

    The One speaks tomorrow with Georgie:

    “I’m focused on a pretty heavy lift, which is making sure we get that reinvestment and recovery package in place,” Obama said.

    The interview with George Stephanopoulos, Obama’s first since returning to Washington as presisdent-elect last weekend, was taped Saturday at the Newseum, where “This Week” has its studio, and will air on Sunday.

    “George, I want to be realistic here: Not everything that we talked about during the campaign are we going to be able to do on the pace we had hoped,” Obama said in brief excerpts released by ABC.

    Obama also hinted at future tax increases and spending cuts.

    “Everybody’s going to have to give,” Obama said. “Everybody’s going to have to have some skin in the game.”

    Obama has said he will repeal President Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans or – more likely, now – allow them to expire as scheduled at the end of 2010. And he has said he will cut or eliminate wasteful programs.

    “Our challenge is going to be identifying what works and putting more money into that, eliminating things that don’t work and making things that we have more efficient,” he said.

    Stephanopoulos wrote on his blog:

    “I asked the president-elect, ‘At the end of the day, are you really talking about over the course of your campaign some kind of grand bargain? That you have tax reform, healthcare reform, entitlement reform including Social Security and Medicare, where everybody in the country is going to have to sacrifice something, accept change for the greater good?’

    “‘Yes,’ Obama said.

    “‘And when will that get done?’ I asked. …

    “‘[W]hat you described is exactly what we’re going to have to do. What we have to do is to take a look at our structural deficit, how are we paying for government? What are we getting for it? And how do we make the system more efficient?'”

    Hey Mr. Douchebag: Social Security is not an entitlement program!!!! Americans contribute to Social Security via payroll deductions! 😡

Yes — after campaigning against that notion, he’s honoring McCain using the same thing from MCCain’s campaign. This is about as shocking as the Ms. Mag photo.

    Fredster and DYB, I think what they are really after but don’t dare say is that the “entitlement program” they want to cut first is Social Security Disabiity. How do I reach this conclusion? Well, for starters, O’s faithful supporter Deval here in MA just took a 27 million dollar hatchet to the Department of Mental Health. 300 caseworkers laid off in one day. Day programs closing. Outpatient clinic closing with 400 mentally disabled clients told they have to find new psychiatrists to write their precriptions. “First they came for the weak….”, and then, …..won’t be long before they get to the rest of us.

    Several weeks ago on This Week with George S, the topic of Caroline Kennedy as appointee to take Hillary’s position was underway. Donna Brazile was running off at the mouth and accidentally exposed her hatred for Hillary was a personal vendetta because Hillary had “come out of nowhere to take the Senate seat that [Donna’s] friend wanted to run for”.

    Her face belongs on a t-shirt that shows her pathetic role in this farce of an election, but I’m not sure this one is accurately descriptive of her prejudice against Hillary.
