Well, wasn't that a choice, Karrie? Last I heard, a decent marriage doesn't farewell if one side is a mouse and the other is a tyrant. Around here, we both work, so we divy stuff up.
It'd be nice if people didn't judge all feminists to be wannabe tyrants, but people are either/or these days it seems. Nothing in the middle.
The women you're describing tend to fall more into the human rights camp, than the women's rights camp, and I don't hear them labeling themselves feminists. They're just people who want people to have the rights to set their lives up as works for their families.

Godfrey Bloom, the UKIP Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire and the Humber, who recently said that Britain should stop giving aid to "Bongo Bongo Land", has also said that women have a "genetic predisposition" to prioritise family over working hard.



'Most women can find the mustard in the pantry quicker than a man, most men can reverse a car better than a woman,' he said in an article.

'Men and women care about different things on a micro-scale. Leaving the lavatory seat up, wet towels on the bed and the top left off the toothpaste will drive a wife mad.

'A man simply cannot understand what the problem is. Most wives do not regard putting petrol in the car as any part of their responsibility.

'Men cannot see the point in making the bed if you are going to get back in it tonight.'

He also boasted of being 'just about as Alpha' as a man can be.

'I am not a 'new man', would not be caught dead at the birth of a baby and [would be] happy to punch the first man who tries to steal my beer,' he said in the article last month.

He also lashed out at modern feminism 'spawned in the bra burning 1970s by rather shrill, bored, middleclass women of a certain physical genre'.

He said they represented few women but are now supported by 'the slightly effete politically correct chaps who get sand kicked in their face on the beach'.


I'm definitely voting UKIP at the next EUSSR and UK elections.

Giving women the right to vote, run for office and have control over their own bodies was such a horrible idea.......right.

A baby in the woman's womb isn't a part of the woman's body. It's a separate human being.

That's why I hate it when numpties bang on about "women should be able to control their own bodies". What a load of tripe.

The Party Of Rape Culture: 40 Republican Rape Quotes Everyone Should Remember



Read more: The Party Of Rape Culture: 40 Republican Rape Quotes Everyone Should Remember -









Republicans are obsessed with rape. It is perhaps the one issue that caused the GOP to implode during the 2012 Election. The foot-in-mouth disease carried by the party has revealed much about the current beliefs of conservatives and it has spread like a plague in just the last year or two, and as Republicans have continued to attack rape victims, they have united women like never before against their extreme anti-abortion agenda.
In just the last six months alone, Republicans have forced draconian anti-abortion legislation into law in Kansas, Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Arkansas even after they acknowledged that they needed to do more to attract women voters. Well, apparently Republicans don’t care about what women think because they have done nothing but double down on the war on women they have been viciously waging since 2010, when Tea Party Republicans took control of state legislatures and governorships in states across the nation. Today’s Republican is required to oppose abortion exceptions for rape victims in order to avoid a primary challenge from someone further to the right. And because of that, Republicans have been saying some really stupid things about rape and rape victims. Here is a comprehensive list of 40 quotes uttered by Republicans about rape that women should keep in mind the next time they go into the voting booth in 2014.

1. “Rape is terrible. Rape is awful. Is it made any better by killing an innocent child? Does it solve the problem for the woman that’s been raped? We need to protect innocent life. Period.”
-Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, declaring that raped women must be additionally forced to carry and give birth to their rapist’s baby against their will in front of an all male crowd at the National Catholic Men’s Conference, June 2007.
2. “Nobody plans to have an accident in a car accident, nobody plans to have their homes flooded. You have to buy extra insurance for those two.”
-Barbara Listing, leader of Right To Life, comparing rape to a car accident, May 2013.
3. “In the emergency room they have what’s called rape kits where a woman can get cleaned out.”
-Texas State Senator Jodie Laubenberg, absurdly claiming that rape kits are used to abort a pregnancy, June 2013.
4. “Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an abortion, of a fetus that is the result of criminal sexual penetration or incest with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime.”
-New Mexico State Rep. Cathrynn Brown, HB 206 language stating that rape victims would be charged and arrested for getting an abortion, January 2013.
5. “Granted, the percentage of pregnancies due to rape is small because it’s an act of violence, because the body is traumatized. I don’t know what percentage of pregnancies are due to the violence of rape. Because of the trauma the body goes through, I don’t know what percentage of pregnancy results from the act.”
-California GOP assembly President Celeste Greig, saying rape victims don’t get pregnant because it’s a traumatic act, March 2013.




Republican sure love rape.
