Killing babies is the first thing I think about when bad weather comes around!

So what's your point? To spread right wing ideology? Before you scream "Liberal!!!" I am a moderate fiscal conservative and will vote for John McCain if he runs.

The point was to illustrate how the feminists use every crisis to promote a gender-fascist agenda, and color every disaster as something that requires attention to women first, and men are invisible.
Katrina for Ms. Magazine is like the Titanic.
Only some humans are worthy of survival, and none of them are male.

"Only some humans are worthy of survival, and none of them are male."
During the Yugoslavian Civil war, in the early 1990's, reports came out of widespread human rights abuses. There were reports of civilian men being rounded up, sent to camps where they were tortured and massacred. There were reports of widespread rape of women.
Clearly shocked that such things could happen in Europe to-day, the fairer sex decided that something should be done. Petitions of protest were organised . One of them circulated in my workplace. Only womens signatures were sought.
The petitions demanded the end of the rape of women. They did not demand the end the massacre of men.
To the anon poster who asked "whats your point". The point is this. In a disaster situation, feminists want a gender specific approach. Funding should be directed to saving women. Indeed feminists believe it is more important to provide funding for abortions rather than provide funding for saving mens lives.

Careful. One doesnt have to be a "right wing conservative" to think abortion is wrong.
I am a registered Democrat, although I'm more of an independent, and I think abortion is wrong.
Now, to be fair, a lot of that opinion comes from being a traditional Cherokee, where as we believe that all life is sacred, including that of the unborn.
So you've got to be careful throwing "right wing" or "left wing" around.
Thundercloud.

Well I think you guys are being harsh; the funding is also for contraception: so even though most of your city is destroyed and people are starving what they are trying to say is that you can still have a great time!
These woMEN may have intellect but it comes to no use if emotion gets in the way. They are irrational beings.

...is that the two things that they care about most are abortion and subjugating men.
Those are THEE MOST important things to them. That is what they fight hardest to do and protect.

Anyone else notice that when the media is interviewing victims of the hurricane the interviewee is almost always female.
What's THAT about...?

Because to the media, men are not as important.

Well, obviously all the men who might have been interviewed were too busy raping and pillaging, just off-camera.
It's kinda ironic that it took Mother Nature to unleash all this evil patriarchal rampaging.
(BTW, it's becoming clear that all the hysteria about New Orleans in "anarchy" with murders and rapes and babies getting their throats sliced were fabrications of mass media reporters who needed to hype up their stories to get airtime.)
What kind of coverage do you think would have happened if Katrina had devastated yuppie Boston instead?
One thing is sure ... "looting" would be described as "the orderly redistribution of survival supplies!"

This entire subject, brought about by the Ms Foundation, is absolutely disgusting. It really is, it's appalling that race, gender, economics, and politics enter a disaster like this. People are dying, or are in terrible health, and it looks like every organization is trying to spin it off one way or another when they should just care about saving those lives. Not only do I agree with you guys on the media views towards men and their radical bias, being quite obvious in news coverage, but it makes you sit and think that for all the "advancements" this country supposedly has, we really can be quite primitive.

The same thing happens with children. Just about all the 'tragic child victims' of the hurricane seem to be girls. Don't any boys get born in New Orleans, or are they immune to disaster? Maybe it's only to be expected. After all, according to Hillary Clinton, women are the first casualties of war. Chances are they're the first casualties of everything else. Maybe we should give them lots of money and stuff - several billion dollars at least, every year. They could pass a new bill in Congress called Annual Relief For Women In Trouble, or ARFWIT for short.

I'm fully in support of ARFWIT, as long as it's administered by a new Cabinet level office titled the Bureau About Resisting Feminism, or BARF.
It would be great to read a headline like --
"VAWA Expelled by BARF, Budget for ARFWIT N.O.W. Gender-Inclusive!"

Trudy Schuett's excellent desertlightjournal web blog has published a brief article by T.S. about the DV Industry's efforts to exploit the Katrina crisis to try to ensure that they will not go out of business when their victim population leaves town. It's a worthwhile read in full.
-----
(Excerpts) --
DUBIOUS "RELIEF" CAMPAIGNS BEGIN TO EMERGE
On Friday, the National Network to End Domestic Violence, and the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence issued a press release announcing their intentions to provide $6000 grants to women’s shelters, and $2000 grants to individual victims of DV in cooperation with cosmetics giant Mary Kay, and the Altria group, (the parent company of Kraft Foods, and Philip Morris which also has an interest in SABMiller brewing).
... This campaign is a thinly-veiled attempt to create a special class of hurricane victims by claiming that those who are already "battered victims" as the release says, are somehow "invisible" and in danger of "slipping through the cracks."
