No White House Wedding: Jenna To Wed May 10th At The Pig Farm

It doesn’t surprise me that people use gender slurs, or equate women and their bodies with all that is bad, and men and their testicles with strength of character and all that is good. Our culture pours these thoughts into our heads. When we try to walk, it’s like we’re carrying all these buckets around that are slightly too full; they slosh and leak over the top, and run down our legs.

They’re filled with derogatory words for women who are sexually active, and for women who aren’t, and for women we wish would be more sexually active, and for women who walk around in public without looking sexually attractive enough, for women who speak when they should be making themselves more sexually attractive, and for women who haven’t learned yet that speaking makes them less sexually attractive.

...

I see this sloshing around when the left talks about conservative women in the news. They tell me their comments aren’t homophobic or misogynistic; they are just serving the right’s hypocrisy back to them on a platter. But that platter’s always filled with words from those same buckets, the same ones they’re using to fill the platters they deliver to women in the news who aren’t involved in politics, and it doesn’t matter whether these women are excessively rich and privileged and white, or underprivileged women of color. I see the same dishes being served to the women on the left, when they step out of line in some way. That happens whether the women on the left are in the public eye or not. The left spends a lot of time drenching all women with what’s in those buckets.

...

If the woman getting drenched is conservative and we voice a complaint, we are accused of sympathizing with the enemy. We are not allowed to simultaneously have contempt for a woman’s political positions or actions, while also believing that sexually degrading her as a woman is offensive.
