I’m Every Woman, by Martha Thomases – Brilliant Disguise | @MDWorld

This hasn’t been a great week for women in the media.  There have been events in which women have been depicted as ignorant sluts, or too stupid to know what’s good for them.

The most sensational of these is the discovery of Amanda Berry and two other women held captive in a house in Cleveland for more than a decade.  They were beaten and raped repeatedly, forced to have children or forced to miscarry, by a man who tricked them into getting into his car, claiming to be the father of a classmate.

(By the way, this was true in at least one case).

 

If the charges are true, I would call the accused is one sick puppy, except that would be an insult to puppies.  Yet I am more disturbed by the second, less tawdry report.

The Pentagon reports that sexual assault of women is an epidemic throughout all branches of service.  And the man who was supposed to investigate this problem is himself accused of violent behavior towards women.

Another psychopath?  Maybe.  But  in the military, at least from remarks like this, it seems as if the psychopaths are in charge.  The general described in the link blames the increase in rape on a “hook-up culture” prevalent today.

Let’s think about that.  Because women may have consensual casual sex, they can no longer complain about being raped.  I mean, a woman who agrees to have sex with the partners of her choice has no right to refuse to have sex with partners she doesn’t choose. It’s not fair to the men who might be in the latter group.  How are they supposed to know?

Reasonable people might assume that women who can be trusted to serve in the armed forces and carry weapons might be able to express themselves, and that their words might be credible.  But that assumes a climate in which women are presumed to be rational humans.

(By the way, doesn’t this show that the NRA proposal to arm every living human to prevent crime won’t work?)

Instead, both stories reveal men who think of women as interchangeable collections of body parts.  She is either assorted orifices to fuck, or a uterus to carry a child.  She certainly has no brain to decide how she might choose to use these parts.

If there is a way to prevent people from growing up to be psychopaths, I don’t know what it us.  But I do know that a civilized society doesn’t cater to crazy people.  And it certainly doesn’t put those who do in charge of the military.

Martha Thomases, Media Goddess, may someday decide to use her parts again.
