Our Tomorrow: A World Without Feminists, Contraception, and Domestic Violence

So you thought it was all about freedom of religion, government out of our lives, and the virtue of women, didn't you?

Right.

In fact, it's all about putting us women right back in our places. In the 19th century.

Oh, to be back in those halcyon days, when men were men and women were HOME.

'Rick Santorum...in his 2005 book, “It Takes a Family,”...disparaged “radical feminists” for giving women the idea that they might find greater fulfillment outside the home.'

And dare they venture as far as to join the military, well, they'll get just what they deserve: raped.

'In response to...a new Pentagon report on sexual abuse in the military [that states that since 2006, there's been a 64% increase in violent sexual assaults]', Fox News contributor Liz Trotta says, 'Now, what did they expect?'

And now, audaciously! '...feminists...[are directing the Pentagon] to spend a lot of money. They have sexual counselors all over the place, victims’ advocates, sexual response coordinators. … So, you have this whole bureaucracy upon bureaucracy being built up with all kinds of levels of people to support women in the military who are now being raped too much.'

Oh, if they'd just stayed HOME! Where women are cherished, treasured, pedastaled. And beaten.

'Current [domestic violence] law in New Hampshire states...that an officer “has the discretion to decide when an arrest is warranted with or without corroborating evidence.” This means that if an officer shows up to a house, he or she takes a look at the scene to assess the situation and makes a decision about whether the alleged assault took place.

But a piece of legislation proposed by state Republicans would require police to get a judge or justice of the peace to issue a warrant for the alleged perpetrator’s arrest...So even if a cop shows up, the victim is covered in bruises, the neighbors say they heard screaming, and there is a hole punched in the wall...it is not too difficult to figure out what happens next: “The officer leaves [to get a warrant], and the abuser renews his attack with even more ferocity, punishing his victim for having called for help.”


And should those cherished women wish to choose when and how many children they'd like to have and raise....think again, 21st/19th century fairer sex...

'Republican legislators are trying to extend the exemption (extended to Catholic charities, hospitals, and universities...which would allow religious groups to opt out of the mandate [to provide free contraceptive care] and require insurers to provide birth control directly to consumers) to any employer opposed to birth control, not just the Catholic church.'

Dear women! Beware of conservative outrage—and the laws that follow—cloaked in the dictates of religion, the 'veneration' of women, and the demonization of government.

The real target is you.
