Mitt Romney’s Misogynistic Agenda is Designed to Punish Every Woman

It would be an exercise in futility to quantify hate in America because there is an abundance of groups that a certain segment of the population abhors based on racism, socio-economic status, and ancient religious mythos. There is an alarming increase in the hatred of women, and according to feminist theory, misogyny manifests itself in numerous ways, including sexual discrimination, denigration of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification of women. It is an outrage that in 21st Century America, after generations of struggle and progress, the level of hatred targeting women is increasing, and it is primarily the purview of conservative Christians. Equally spectacular is the number of conservative women misogynists supporting and working hand-in-hand with Republican men to assign all women the roles dictated in the Christian bible, and whether they comprehend it or not, they are punishing themselves, their female family members, and every woman in America.

After Willard Romney tap-danced around the abortion issue on Wednesday, for a minute it appeared he softened his stance to appeal to women and voters in the middle with his assertion that “there’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda.” It was classic Romney mendacity and belies the statements he has made throughout the Republican primary and general election campaign, and in typical Romney fashion, he walked back his comments two hours later when his campaign stated, “Governor Romney would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life” to fit the extremist Christian pro-life crowd’s demand that America follow Old Testament edicts instead of the U.S. Constitution and established law.

Romney fits the feminist theory of misogyny exquisitely, and for good measure throws in a healthy dose of Mormon ideology on women’s role in America. Romney, and his running mate, Paul Ryan, have established their position on women’s rights that should frighten every semi-intelligent woman in America, but unfortunately, when religious fanaticism, racism, and self-hatred enter the picture, an alarming percentage of America’s women become little more than tools to expedite an environment for women that will rival the harshest Islamic theocracy.

For the record, Romney supports the Blunt Amendment, defunding Planned Parenthood, a national Personhood Amendment, overturning Roe v. Wade, and his running mate co-sponsored Todd Akins Sanctity of Human Life Act (legitimate rape law), and voted six times against gender equality in pay, against expanding protections for battered women, and against education funding. It is gross understatement to assert Romney and Ryan represent a clear and present danger to America’s women, and yet every woman who intends to vote for the masters of misogyny are culpable for the impending patriarchal doom the Republican Party and bible prescribe.

3. As I said elsewhere earlier today ...

I am sick and tired of all of these Republican MEN spouting off about what they think women should and should not be allowed to do with our own bodies.

It is way past time to elect more WOMEN to Congress!

We women are 50% of the U.S. population and we are not being represented sufficiently on women's issues.

As of 2012, only 17 of the 100 U.S.Senators are women (17%)
As of 2012, only 76 of the 435 U.S. House Representatives are women (16.6%)

We need a national uprising and kick all the Republicans OUT-of-Office and elect many more Democrats and WOMEN


And another thing that pisses me off about the Republicans: If the Republicans were actually concerned about lowering the abortion rates in The USA then they would not be so very opposed to providing women with low-cost birth control. Contraception and sex education equals less abortions.
