Rule #1. If you have a panel about women, invite some women.
Red State Women tweeted a congratulations to themselves for having a man challenge “Democrats false war on women” in front of men.
That’s either a room full of men or a whole bunch of really unfortunate-looking Republican women.
I suspect the wimmen-folks were busy cooking for their men.
Thanks to Cindy for the heads up.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
The wimminfolk are sitting on the other side of that row of KKK costumes.
1It seems to be a fine Republican tradition to exempt the women-folk from having to tax their brains by participating in any discussions of issues directly relating to persons of the female persuasion. Misplaced gallantry, blatant misogyny, or out-and-out stupidity? Hmmm…
2Reminds me of the woman I heard pronounce sanctimoniously, “I’m a stay-at-home mom by God’s design”.
3Conservatives really do lack self-awareness…. and a whole bunch of other stuff as well.
4I can see 2 who are almost certainly possessed of 2 X-chromosomes and no Y. There’s the frosted/died blond bob hairstyle off to the left up front and then over to the right there’s a tropical-style shirt that no Republican male would wear unless he was in Hawaii or on the beach.
5Republicans are noted for having panels and Congressional meetings to decide what to do about women and not having any actual women allowed to speak, so wouldn’t surprise me.
6I think I see 3 or 4 critters of the female species … kinda difficult to tell for sure.
7Not even Tootsie showed up? Or Mrs. Doubtfire? (hopefully it’s not too soon)
Republicans could take a lesson from Hollywood in this instance. When you need a woman, make one if you have to.
8So if the Democrats are waging the “false” war on women,
9it must be the repugs who are waging the “actual” war on women, minorities, voters, immigrants, poor and middle class.
georgepbush? Would that be Prescott–the young son of Jeb? Oh, Lordy, not another smug entitled Bush ready to make money and mayhem from government “service.”
10Old Mayfly, they’re all Pee Bushes, as in what most people think they deserve, once planted in the ground.
11@Old Mayfly,
12As PKM said, yep.
I’d add that in late 2007 or so I read in a printed article about how cute the Georges were, how George HM referred to George W as “43”, while George W referred to George HW as “41”. That article went on to say the two referred to George P as “45”.
Sorry. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Whippin’ up them sammiches.
13The only women that Republicans invite to the party are strippers.
14Ralph, you bet! But they have to come packing a crate of diapers.
15You reckon maybe those sweet stay at home moms told their husbands to go to the meeting and come back and report what the women are sposed to be thinking and doing? I think it’s okay for women to stay at home whether they have children or not but I think they need a project that they can run themselves. Myself, I stayed home with our kids, and baked bread and grew huge gardens and kept bees and chickens and was around when the kids and their friends needed a mom. It was a full time job. My husband commuted to work in NYC so somebody had to run Long Island.
16But they don’t need any women at their meetings because the men can and will speak better for them than they can for themselves. I think that really is their belief.
I mean, isn’t a man obviously better suited to make contraceptive decisions than the women in his life?
17i was fortunate to have a mate with a decent salary so i could stay home with the kids and do part time work (running a daycare, substitute teaching, and more) after leaving my first career in fisheries. My sibs with kids, not so lucky. if he had been a geologist with a public agency or educational institution rather than an oil company, things would have been very different. this is why I keep giving back as much as I can, and working to elect folks who get it.
18Each woman attendee had to have three male escorts to make triply sure she did not get off message.
19Over in Afghanistan when the top-dog menfolk get together to discuss things, they call it a “loya jirga”.
Here in Texanistan when the Teabolavangelicals palaver we can call it a “Lyin’ Jerkin’ Session”.
20This is why these clowns can come up with terms like “feminazis” and equate contraceptives with aphrodisiacs: there isn’t anyone there to refute the bubble echo. To believe that white males don’t control reality is simply Not Done.
As a member of the aforementioned group, I believe it my Right to declaim: Really?!
*Sigh*
