(33 posts)in waging a "War" on those despicable Vaginal Vampires, VagHags, and Rape-Uglicanasaurouses that are waging this "War on Women". We must bring every one of them, form their leaders to the lowly sign waving Planned Parenthood protesters "Into the Light". Tag 'em, flag 'em, and let everyone know who and what they are. This is not a game - this is a war for the freedom of the American people who don't want to live under a fundamentalist christian regime.
Vaginal Vampire (VagVamp slang, link, label)
Any person, group of people, or organization that through their speech, writings, and/or actions are implicitly attempting to control, direct, and/or subjugate a womans inherent rights to the control of her body, her mind, her sexuality, and medical choices made between her and her doctor. Most of these Vaginal Vampire attacks are veiled in authoritarian religious dogma and conservative political rhetoric in an attempt to steal and control the power of the Womb and/ or Woman. This is accomplished through the demonizing of birth control, abortion, Planned Parenthood, the dumbing down and/or elimination of sexual education, the defining down of the violent crime of rape, the propagation of abstinence only, and the theft of a womens rights of equality. The tactics employed to accomplish these goals run the gamut from intimidation, fear, propaganda, terror, violence, and murder/assassination.
As with imaginary vampires, these Vaginal Vampires gain their power, wealth, notoriety, and prestige among their piers and the media by employing deceit, propaganda, and out right lies to suck the lifeblood from women who are making their own religious, moral, and heart wrenching decisions based on their individual medical and health circumstances.
VagVamps consider no measure of action to be too vile or contemptible, not even terrorism or murder, to attain their most reprehensible ends. It also appears that those most concerned with a womans womb are way at the back of the pack in the caring and support after that child is born. This manifests itself in their unrelenting promotion of the cutting of early child health care, pre-natal care, head start, education, Planned Parenthood, and food programs, just to mention a few.

(55 posts)Get over it, and get with the program. The program that would make sex discrimination, male and female alike, A VIOLATION OF THE US CONSTITUTION! Finally, the Equal Rights Amendment is recognized in the President's Proclamation of Women's Equality Day, Aug 28 ! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Equal pay (not just an average of 72% in FL of what men are paid for the same job, same credentials); gender-equal treatment in all spheres of government, medicine, law, education, politics, sports....
What an IDEA! "EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW SHALL NOT BE DENIED OR ABRIDGED BY THE UNITED STATES OR BY ANY STATE ON ACCOUNT OF SEX."/GENDER.
What an Idea: increase in the GDP by 9%!!! ; more harmony in marriage where equality is the standard; Strict Scrutiny for sex discrimination lawsuits means more sex discrimination cases victorious..

(60,071 posts)I photographed it with the emphasis on women, because the rally was about women.
The men there were hard core feminist.
Anyway, I saw the media coverage and it was pretty good.
The men who showed up at the ERA Rally-Protest at the US Capitol, DC, were strong for us women. THEY know the ERA benefits males, too!
The average guy never thinks about sex discrimination, even his own. But once they get the list of what women do not have rights to because there's no Equal Rights Amendment in the US CONSTITUTION, they rise up in wrath!

(60,071 posts)Us men need to shut up and listen, then act when called upon to act. I am comfortable with a supporting role.

sandyo--ERA
(55 posts)Didja know that American females are not in the contract with their nation? Men are, 39 times--I counted.
ERA would fix that and a bunch of other stuff you don't think about.
Click on "ERA for Women" at 2PassERA.org, and be shocked at what we women miss out on without an ERA.
Didja know that "every nation since WWII already Has AN ERA?

(27,985 posts)I was out at a campground with a bunch of my fellow subversives, and we had converted all of the bathrooms to unisex. I remember how the ERA was derailed by such stupidity as the idea that it would inevitably lead to.....OMG, unisex bathrooms! I never understood the connection but I was a child when that boogeyman was trotted out. Most of the alternative groups I hang with don't abide by such silly notions as gender toileting, but that was the big old boogeyman to scare all the peeples! Funny, my alt.net families of choice don't seem to scare that easily. Would that the rest of the sheeple wouldn't.
