Phyllis Schlafly: The Feminists Demand and Receive

Submitted by anthony on Wed, 2009-09-09 17:16

Article here. Excerpt:

'The feminists had no sympathy with the fact that men were victims of most of the lost jobs because the majority of manufacturing and construction jobs are men's jobs. The segments of our economy dominated by women, social services, education, health, child care, and welfare have actually gained jobs during this recession.

Nevertheless, the feminists demanded that half the Stimulus jobs be given to women. The feminists worked to achieve this result by directing the Stimulus funds into the types of jobs where women predominate and by allocating at least a third of the spending in manufacturing and construction industries to training women for those men's jobs.

All the feminist organizations joined in the political clatter. They called for a meeting so they could lecture Obama's economic advisers and hurl their demands that the Stimulus package create jobs that women like, such as workplace-comfortable inside jobs with air-conditioned offices and carpeted floors.

As one tactic to intimidate Obama Administration officials, the feminists successfully insisted that participants in the meeting be seated in a circle without a table between them, a format that enabled the feminists to be confrontational. The feminists created their own vocabulary to shout at the men, demanding jobs for "human infrastructure" and "human bridges," which were euphemisms for social service, health-care, child care, and librarian jobs.'

Not only did men get the short end of the stick, but the money they did get was reduced by 33% to recruit more women into the jobs lost by men?

"Obama's chief economist is Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard University"

(though as the article points out, in this capacity he is a pushover for feminists.)

Summers was the guy who dared say that sex differences in the human brain may partly account for the predominance of men in science [and math(?)] fields. He was subsequently forced to resign by P.C./feminist sh**-heads

Feminists are probably the biggest beneficiaries of a politically correct society.

From what I read, Obama wanted Larry Summers as his Treasury Secretary. However, Summers comments at Harvard disqualified him from consideration. After Hillary lost the primaries, Obama had to kiss NOW's ass in order to get their endorsement. Our economy is secondary to feminist hyper sensitivity. There's no way they would have tolerated Summers even though he was instrumental during the economic boom of the 1990's. Its frightening they got their grubby little hands on the stimulus package.

Considering the Lilly Ledbetter Act was the first bill signed by Obama, it leads me to believe this gesture was a campaign promise in order to gain feminist support.

I also read an article suggesting NOW and The Feminist Majority League wanted an official cabinet office for women. Even though they got a women's and girls council, they didn't get the power and clout that comes with a cabinet office.
