'Heard on a fundie religious station in Chgo today re: domestic abuse month-
"Many abusers are women and they are worse than men as they use violent language and that is much more hurtful than physical scars or pain. Plus they often turn around and abuse their own children because THEY are abused!"
"Women are often pushed into victim status by their GIRLFRIENDS!!"
"There is such a thing as a woman PROVOKING violence in a marriage."
"A marriage between an abusive husband and wife is DEFINITELY able to be saved as the abuse (no lie!!) actually PROVES that he CARES about her while the worst thing in a relationship is indifference. Then it is very hard to ever salvage a relationship."
Repeatedly this jackass used the phrase "women have told me" - that was the basis for his wild, sexist opinions.
No wonder I've been in a foul mood all day!! I had insomnia and that is the first thing I heard this morning.
This is why I despise fundies be they Prods or Catholic.
Pat Robertson talking about how if your wife gets Alzheimer's you should leave her? Yes Mr "Marriage is sacred" Mr "till death do us part" thinks you should dump your wife if she gets sick.
The hypocrisy is rampant. Since the government is broke maybe we ought to start taxing these assholes and their bullshit little myths.
