Talking to Neanderthals ~ Megyn Kelly VS. Erick Erickson and Lou Dobbs

photo MegynKelly.jpg

Erick Erickson on Red State
Many feminist and emo lefties have their panties in a wad over my statements in the past 24 hours about families. I said, in a statement reflecting the view of three quarters of those surveyed in a Pew Research Center poll, that more women being the primary or sole breadwinners in families is harmful to raising children. This result came from a survey that found “nearly four in 10 families with children under the age of 18 are now headed by women who are the sole or primary breadwinners for their families.”
I also noted that the left, which tells us all the time we’re just another animal in the animal kingdom, is rather anti-science when it comes to this. In many, many animal species, the male and female of the species play complementary roles, with the male dominant in strength and protection and the female dominant in nurture. It’s the female who tames the male beast. One notable exception is the lion, where the male lion looks flashy but behaves mostly like a lazy beta-male MSNBC producer.

Have these men lost their minds? (and these are my colleagues??!! oh brother… maybe I need to have a little chat with them) (next thing they will have a segment to discuss eliminating women’s right to vote?)
~ Greta Van Susteren of Fox News on Gretawire

MEGYN KELLY: So I'll start with you, Erick. What makes you dominant and me submissive, and who died and made you scientist-in-chief?
ERICKSON: Oh, it doesn't have anything to do with submissiveness per se, and it was certainly poorly constructed how I said it. What I meant by that was, when you look throughout society, look at other animals, the male of the species tends to be the protector, the dominant one in that regard, and we've gotten to a point in this country where you have a lot of feminists who think that the male and female roles are completely interchangeable, that there is no need for a man to support his family. You've got men walking away, you've got women becoming single mothers not by their choice, you've got a lot of people thinking it's a lifestyle choice. This isn't healthy for society when we think that roles of gender are completely -- can be interchangeable. No one's saying women can't be or shouldn't be a breadwinner or even the primary breadwinner. It's just that when we forced ourselves to this point in society where they have to be, that's not a good, healthy thing for society.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DOBBS: . . . And for people and for anyone in any discussion, in any debate on what is happening with women in the workplace to ignore the fact that we have marriages breaking up, shattering in this society and we know that reduces by at least --

KELLY: Why are you attributing that to women in the workforce?

DOBBS: Excuse me. Let me just finish what I'm saying if I may, oh dominant one. The fact is --
KELLY: Excuse me?

KELLY: . . . In this country in the ’50s and ’60s there were huge numbers of people that believed that the children of interracial marriages were biologically inferior and that is why it was illegal for blacks and whites to marry in some states in the country up until 1967. And they said it was science and fact if you were the child of a black father and white mother or vice versa you were inferior and not set up for success. Tell that to Barack Obama.




When Lou Dobbs called her "oh dominant one" I wanted to toss my computer out the window and go on a misogyny ax murder spree.
She handled it better than I would have.
~ ValeriesDancingMuppets on Jezebel

Maybe we've finally found some aspect of modern conservatism that the Blond Brigade can't stomach. The utter dismissal bot Lou and Erick give her & her opinions is both infuriating and deeply satisfying. This is who these people are, Megyn - it's who they've always been and always will be. They don't respect you and they never, ever will. Kick them both in the nuts and walk away. You can still save yourself.
~ iamlegion on Crooks and Liars

So, 69 studies in 50+ years says it makes no difference who the bread winner is and Erick THINKS, it makes a difference. There's a scientific study, what Erick the racist/bigot/sexist thinks.
~ Gump on Crooks and Liars

You know that when the Fox News Spokesmodels are trashing you for your misogyny, you've gone just a few steps too far.
~ Dave K. on Crooks and Liars

Megan doesn't seem to get it. She works for a network that promotes the kind of social conservatism that holds women in low esteem.
~ Sugarfunk on Huffington Post

That's it Megyn, come to the light.
COME TO THE LIGHT.

Akin Breakin' in Missouri ~ Should He Stay or Should He Go?

Photobucket

Should he stay or should he go?

My Previous Post: Todd Akin (R-MO) Needs Legitimate Sex Education
My other blog:
Todd Akins and the Magical Pregnancy Shield

What he said:

From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist.

Akin must go…now. I am willing to give leeway to candidates saying dumb things once in a while, things that are a slip of the tongue, or a simple misunderstanding. This is none of those. The video of this is worse than the quote. It shows a man that is clueless beyond all measure, and shouldn’t be voted in as a local dog catcher, let along as a U.S. Senator.
It is time for the GOP and the conservatives of America to stand up and replace this man, because he is not fit to be a member of the U.S. Senate.
~ comment by Neoavatara at Red State

You argue Todd Akin should be rejected because he is ignorant of a biological fact.
I argue ignorance pervades the senate and that Akin’s alleged ignorance is irrelevant to how he will perform as a senator.
~ comment by Viet71 on Red State

The libs are having a field day with this. We need this seat. This guy’s an idiot. He has to go
~ comment by merrie7137 on Red State

His race is now solely defined by something he said that was so inherently stupid that the issues will have almost no relevance. People look to basic competency before they look to the issues. He must withdraw.
~ comment by pdawk on Red State

I understand that his comments could be considered offensive to victims of legitimate rape, or even feminists, but the majority of women in Missouri share Akin’s views on rape and abortion, and even though he now says he misspoke (clearly to avoid the PC backlash) actual women voters are not going abandon him. If this were California, or New York, getting 5% of the female vote would definitely hurt. But we are talking about Tea Party Missouri, and the women there weren’t burning bras in the 60s. They aren’t so much concerned about “equality” because they know better and they don’t fall for every media claptrap trend they see. Most importantly, like Akin, they know the difference between forcible rape and just rape, and how it’s just language designed to legalize abortion.
I wish Akin hadn’t claimed he misspoke, because this was what they call a teachable moment. The majority of women votes he loses over this will be negligible. Possibly some rape victims in Missouri, but statistically, most rapes occur in poorer, minority areas that aren’t likely to vote Republican anyway. Maybe a few hundred are enraged enough to actually vote this year, but I’ll bet thousands more women learn of Akin’s stance on abortion because of this story, which brings them to the polls, too.
~ comment by reclaimit on Red State

Akin won the primary. Replacing him in a smoke-filled backroom deal is going to throw away all the campaigning Akin has done from the primary to now, as well as the momentum he has.
I’d suggest that the “throw him overboard!” crowd need to grow some patience and see whether the polling of likely voters shows this to be a problem.
The urge to “Do Something!” oft overwhelms the need to understand, and then do the Right thing.
~ comment by acat on Red State

I’d vote for Godzilla over Claire McCaskill but what the hell this idiot was thinking I’ll never know…
~ comment by retrocon87 at Red State

Nothing inarticulate or unintelligent about relating what everybody understands makes sense, that when the body undergoes violent trauma, it affects our chemical balances, which in turn affect reproductive conditions.
This smells like a bunch of bullcrap from whiny rhinos that want the media to like them soooooo bad and the quickest way to do that is to go pro-choice, because let’s face it, all this anti-Akin talk (especially after he apologized, which I don’t even think was necessary) is just promoting the pro-choice Democrat, which COSTS LIVES AND COURT JUSTICES AND THE ENTIRE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA.
Unless you find him with a dead girl or a live boy, or some similar felony, you had best start supporting the Republican nominee. IF YOU DON’T LIKE HIM, VOTE FOR CLAIRE AND GET OFF THIS WEBSITE.
~ comment by texasref at Red State

I imagine public policy polling will come out with a poll within the next few days that shows Akin down at least 25.
~ comment by sagettaurus on Red State

Aiken is not too bright. He had this thing sewn up.
~ comment by Signalman on Free Republic

did he mean rape-rape?
~ comment by 2banana on Free Republic

Couldn’t agree more. not only was it an horrific comment, he now has handed the seat to the Dems. he is done.
Why on EARTH would the Mo Tea Party nominate someone this flat out stupid?? There are some wonderful, intelligent Tea Partiers in this nation and they picked him?
Even I’d vote for his opponent after this and I’ve never voted Dem in my life. This isn’t just bad, this is horrible. I prosecuted more rape cases than I can count. This fool has no place representing anyone for ANYTHING.
~ comment by RightwardHo on Free Republic

If you want to fire this guy over a 38 second sound bite, you’re going to fire anyone over anything.
Not standing up for him would signal to the Demonrats that we are pansies who will fold like a cheap suit over any screaming accusation.
Dana Loesch, a woman, said it best when she said Akin failed a sound bite, whereas McCaskill failed us on the economy over six years. McCaskill’s actions are far, far worse.
We need to get a spine, not a noodly back.
~ comment by SoFloFreeper on Free Republic

He is not wrong.
Rape rarely results in pregnancy.
~ comment by roylene on Free Republic

Folks, Claire-Bear voted for the DEATH PANELS!!!
We’re so quick to form the circular firing squad.
~ comment by Kolath on Free Republic

He also said "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” The underlying implication being that pregnant rape victims are liars and not actual victims of rape.

Todd Akin (R-MO) Needs Legitimate Sex Education ~ UPDATES

Photobucket

On Pregnancy from Rape:
From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist.
~ Congressman Todd Akin, R-Missouri, running for Senate

We're going to prove to Missourians that Todd Akin is out of touch with their problems, out of touch with the pain that they feel, and out of touch with the views that they hold dear.

Todd Akins Press Release
St. Louis - Congressman Todd Akin just released the following statement regarding his interview on the "Jaco Report" broadcast this morning in St. Louis:

"As a member of Congress, I believe that working to protect the most vulnerable in our society is one of my most important responsibilities, and that includes protecting both the unborn and victims of sexual assault. In reviewing my off-the-cuff remarks, it's clear that I misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year. Those who perpetrate these crimes are the lowest of the low in our society and their victims will have no stronger advocate in the Senate to help ensure they have the justice they deserve.

"I recognize that abortion, and particularly in the case of rape, is a very emotionally charged issue. But I believe deeply in the protection of all life and I do not believe that harming another innocent victim is the right course of action. I also recognize that there are those who, like my opponent, support abortion and I understand I may not have their support in this election.

"But I also believe that this election is about a wide-range of very important issues, starting with the economy and the type of country we will be leaving our children and grandchildren. We've had 42 straight months of unacceptably high unemployment, trillion dollar deficits, and Democratic leaders in Washington who are focused on growing government, instead of jobs. That is my primary focus in this campaign and while there are those who want to distract from that, knowing they cannot defend the Democrats' failed economic record of the last four years, that will continue to be my focus in the months ahead."
