So, let me get this straight: defending women against crude, sexist attacks is merely a matter of logistics and (pardon the pun) manpower…
You’re trying to take up our time getting us to defend your friend Sarah Palin. If you keep us busy defending her, we have less time to defend women’s bodies from the onslaught of reproductive rights attacks and other threats to our freedom, safety, livelihood, etc. Sorry, but we can’t defend Palin or even Hillary Clinton from every sexist insult hurled at them in the media. That task would be impossible, and it would consume us. You know this would not be a productive way to fight for women’s equal rights, which is why you want us stuck in this morass.
— Lisa Bennett, NOW communications director
I wonder how much time would be allotted by NOW if I called Ms. Bennett a slut, bitch, whore, twat, cunt, and/or directed any of those assorted adjectives towards her family members? I’d be willing to bet the good women at NOW could (and would) find time to address it.

Lady, if you don’t want to do your job I am sure that there are other people who would be happy to.
Maybe she’s part of a union. There are many investors of those corporations who would rather not follow through on their responsibility and are more than eager to deny the opportunity to others.
NOW doesn’t represent women as a whole; it is progressive Marxist front group. It obeys the orthodoxy and knows that Palin cannot be one of its its victims.
From Robert H. Bork 1996: “There is a great deal of reckless disregard for the truth in radical feminism. Some of it is so blatant that it certainly deserves to be called lying, but some of it appears to reflect the delusions of paranoia. What is worrisome is that so much serious misrepresentation passes into the realm of “truth.” One might think that misrepresentations about checkable facts could not survive long in an open society, but they can and do, probably because the press and academe are very pro-feminist. When a sensational report about the amount of domestic violence against women appears, newspapers, magazines, and even textbooks relay the news, and it quickly becomes established folklore. The attitudes formed as a result are embedded in the culture. Yet the facts, for those who care about them, indicate that these reports are wild exaggerations or flat misrepresentations… Feminists’ ideology is a fantasy of persecution.”
Wow. That sounds so familiar. So, NOW is just another for-profit “non-profit” business.
In the meantime, gender warfare will continue… At least by those who deny the issues of merit and rational compromises between individuals of dignity.
NOW is a women’s government trough feeder amalgamation. Over a billion dollars just here in one part.

Once the government loses their “AAA” credit card, the consequences of progressive corruption will be undeniable. America will become Detroit will become America.
I wonder what original Progressives think about the corruption which they have spawned and continue to protect. They should have heeded the warning offered by their elders, or at least reviewed the historical outcomes that always follow implementation of their principles. But no, they wanted it all and instant gratification. They could not resist following the path of least resistance.
At the very least, the individuals acting in good faith should dissociate themselves from the collective and the ideology underlying its formation.
In light of new evidence offered by “RADAR”, I am now more cynical, more pessimistic. There just may be too many established corruptive forces to prevent a regression. I wonder how some people (and I would still assume most) manage to avoid following the “rabbit” down the hole. This is seriously a dark whimsy that pervades our society and humanity in general.
I also wonder how denigrating individual dignity and devaluing human life has contributed to this broken path. Well, as long as the “rights” businesses are fat and healthy, then at least they are happy… for now.
“Reproductive rights” must begin with the right (and responsibility) to keep ones legs closed.
Until I hear that message emanating from NOW, nothing else they say makes a difference.
That should be the goal for men and women alike. To accept responsibility for their actions. Beyond “keep ones legs closed”, there are many options that are available, long before sacrificing virginal human life ever becomes a consideration.
Whatever happened to “think of the children” and “those without a voice”? Surely this sentiment does not only apply to animals. I mean that would just be demented.
Remember, Liberalism tries to gain power by promising the enable hedonism for the masses. Consequence-free sex, labor-free income, Legal intoxicants, and thought-free education are the four pillars.
NOW is getting hammered in the comments on that blog. Richly deserved too.
I’m pretty sure that most people are fed up by now with the NAGs.

NOW has no standing in my mind, when they supported a sexual harrasser and not the victum. Yes, when they stood behind Clinton and made the statement that in this case the victum wanted it. That, in my opinion, made them a non-entity.
Lewinsky was merely collateral damage arising from the sexual revolution. Some women will not be spared the loss of their dignity. This is a war after all.
As for Clinton, he has either always lacked dignity, or for some reason, at some time, he chose to follow the path of least resistance. The outcome was the inevitable progressive corruption of him and all of who voluntarily associated with him.
Viva la revolucion! Until it can no longer be denied that human civilization is no longer a viable enterprise.
But don’t you love the way they have to twist, turn and jumpjive in order to answer the relatively simple question?
The psychosis dance.
It is quite odd, isn’t it. While their principles are weak, inconsistent, and often contradictory, they do represent the path of least resistance, and that is sufficient to keep them aloft.
For some reason, modern people (especially the immature) seem to think they are enlightened by virtue of their technology and education. Too many have failed to recognize the rise of a secular cult to replace the monotheistic religions, and specifically the principles, which assured them the opportunity. I guess they would like to conduct an experiment to establish the separation of chicken and egg. I think they will, if they haven’t already, discover that they are the egg.
Well, what else can be expected from generational progressives. They assume they are the superiors of their ancestors, that they possess a hidden knowledge and supernatural skill, that they are entitled to an inequitable “equitable” state of being. While we have developed means to improve our standard of living, the human condition has never changed throughout its history. The fundamentals are in force today as they have always been. However, it is our right to choose a path, even one that is counterproductive, and even self-destructive.
