"Women are sacred"

[boston bean]

that is why we name call and berate the empty barrel.

1. Pretty sure he meant "white women" and

no, they weren't held up a sacred back in BeaverCleaver Land either.

6. Not every white woman.

Imaginary white women who stayed home where they belonged, made babies and devoted their lives lives to serving their masters, uh, husbands. Perfect white women who never had a bad day, never talked back, never put a foot wrong. These perfect women never existed in real life, and creeps like Kelly never respected real women of any color.

3. I don't think he's calling all of us goddesses.

4. And when he stood there and defended his boss

that was the most aggregious lie of all.He's as bad as all of them, but then we already knew that.

5. Which is why...

His boss's most extreme supporters attacked Heather Heyer's spirit and memory of her by blaming her for her death?

His boss's most extreme supporters rushed forth to gleefully say it wasn't a hate crime when Nabra Hassanen was murdered?

7. I think he mis-spelled the word, it should have been women are scared.

Scared because the republicans are doing everything in their power to make them scared.

8. As Lawrence O. said, many were getting the crap beat out of them

by their husband's at night and if they went to their Parish Priest, he told the women that they could not divorce, that they just had to take it. This is where Kelly was raised too. And according to Lawrence, racism was baked in also. Racism and misogyny were "normal."

The women being beaten? This is white, middle class women we're talking about. The only jobs we were "allowed" to have back in the 60's was Nurse, Teacher (not College) and store clerk. Job listings in the newspaper the year I graduated, 1966, were still listed as "Jobs for men" and "Jobs for women." That continued into the 70's. No birth control without your husband's permission. Couldn't buy anything, car, etc., without a male cosigner, on and on.

No way out. Women were sacred, my ass. And Black women? Ha!
