What's With Stupid Women and the Right?

[dynasaw]

Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Christine O'Donell, Jan Brewer et.c.etc.
Can it get any worse?

As a 60's feminist I never dreamed that we the fight for equal rights could unleash this bunch. :crazy:

1. Psst. The guys are stupid, too.

[Matariki]

9. +1 The difference is their looks, not their IQ's

[tavalon]

2. I don't know

I'm mortified. But then, lets look at the men on the right. Quite a few of them don't qualify as brainiacs either.

[Hansel]

3. Because only stupid women would be on the right.

Or very wealthy ones.

17. Don't you realize

that people of any gender, ethnicity, age or beliefs will embrace anything as long as it gives them access to power. That is humanity.

5. They're the product of opportunistic right-wing men, not feminism.

Women stopped listening to misogynistic old men, so they got their Stepford Wives to do the talking. Added bonus... sexually repressed men will vote for a Republican babe every time.

6. It doesn't matter the gender, why do people vote against their own interest? /nt

[baldguy]

7. There are stupid people on the left, too.

It's just that we usually don't let them run the show.

8. Gender Does Not Pre-Determine Your Political Leanings

It's sexist to believe that women, by virtue of their gender alone, are going to be progressive.

See Margaret Thatcher, Phyllis Schafly, and Anita Bryant as past examples.

11. Exactly, and these are the women the patriarchy allows to succeed

See: Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman.

12. +1

Everyone likes to ignore the reality that these women are exactly what patriarchy wants in women who achieve status and power - they are generally stupid, easily led, and vicious against women's interests.

10. Margaret Atwood warned us about what happens to right-wing women...

They get exactly what they asked for, and then have to live with it.

13. Stupidity is non discriminatory in regards to Creed, Race or gender

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.”

Einstein



“It's too bad that stupidity isn't painful.”

Anton LaVey



“Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!”

George Carlin

14. Stupid women like stupid men. That's got "Republican" written all over it.

[demwing]

15. Don't forget Sharron Angle

And please never ask "Can it get any worse?" because that very act always seems to be an open door to "it" getting worse. :P

16. See that's what is getting me...the republicans never ever

would let a woman any where near a place of authority. Now they are all voting for women, but not just women themselves, they are voting for crazy nutcase ignorant women. What are they trying to do, blame the decline of the republican party on the women.
