How the Freepers find their wives
The Freepers are now complaining about how the "liberals" got a new law passed which requires that a man disclose if he has a criminal record if he "orders" a mail-order bride. The Freepers are complaining about this:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1565877/posts

The first comment is:

"I guess the feminists don't want American men to marry traditional ladies from the Philippines, Russia, etc. I thought they were 'pro-choice'!!"

Third comment:

"As hard as the MSM tries to get us men to link up with an American feminist, many of us are wise enough to ignore that route, and thus marry a women who hasn't been corrupted (i.e., one not born in the US)."

The Freeper post is based on this article -

Sad, very sad.

1. They find them online after they get boned and disowned by liberal men
Edited on Thu Jan-26-06 10:17 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
like Rush.
Thing is they'd rather get boned and disowned by liberal men who won't respect them in the morning because they're freeptardettes.

Freeptardettes are EASY it's like fish in a barrel but you don't want to have a conversation with them and you don't want much more unless it's last call.

2. Not just sad, it's unbelievable.
I thought they were the party of "law and order" who were "tough on crime and criminals?" Indeed, I thought they loved to blast Dems for being "soft on crime." Wonder how many of them bitching have some type of criminal record? And if they have to go outside the country to find a "non-corrupted" female, then more power to them because the foreign ladies can have their sorry asses.

What they really want is a woman who'll be barefoot and pregnant every year and who will cook and clean herself to death for him, all the while sitting down and shutting up and taking whatever he wants to dish out. No fucking thanks. The foreign gals can have that shit all to themselves. What fucking century are they living in, anyway?

10. True, but another possible motivation --
We know how important 'keeping score' is to a certain type of man who buys into Repub philosophy -- you know, having the right house with a 4 car garage where they can keep their new Escalade and their new boat, because having all that new stuff means you're a winner. The "trophy wife" is part of this mindset; if you're a fat middle-aged pig with a little money, you probably have a better chance of finding your young, skinny second or third wife by importing a woman from a poor country.

(And yeah, it always amazed me too how the 'trade your old wife in for a newer model' crowd makes political common cause with the 'family values' bunch...)

8. Here's my idea of Feminism - Women lead the world then...
all "male" leaders who committed crimes are sent
to: "HOW to Find the Women In Me Prisons" (may need a few facilities)

1. All cells painted dusty rose
2. No sports to watch except figure skating and Gymnastics
3. Martha Stewart Cooking Lessons Mandatory
4. Mandatory Music: Cher, Celine, Mannilow
5. No weights, only pilates.
6. Must attend Poetry Classes.
7. Brokeback Mountain Screening and Analysis

The need for violence on this planet needs to be nipped in the bud.

11. Although most are just pathetic ......
..... I did see 2 funny posts.


I wanna marry one of them sherpa gals and have her carry me around the city. Think of the money I'll save on taxis...

That's why I am glad I only use domestic prison pen pals websites to look for my women. Funny that the lady inmates always say they need me to send them more money.

You got to admit this is some good stuff. :rofl:

Which reminded me .... I was in England and all the jokes I heard about West Virginians in Ohio I heard about
people from New Zealand from an Aussie ......

I heard the same jokes in Utah about being from Idaho .......
Oh well I am babbling

68. I know, creepty isn't it. But what's really funny is that freepers think
Asian women are dumb. I think they play dumb just to get here, and they are pretty good at spotting a sucker when they see one. I have a feeling there are a lot of early divorces between freeps and their mail-order brides with the brides getting nice settlements, citizenship, and then they can go and find a real man, most likely one of those 'fiery liberal' types, and live happily ever after. :rofl:

27. Of course......
the biggest problem (apart from the fact that the gene pool needs chlorine) is that the fastest way to raise the standard of living is to educate (drum roll please) women. Not men, women.

So I suspect the fastest way to take us back to the stone age is to keep them barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.

Can we send these fellows to some little planet all their own??

33. I think this is important to understand.
These people are actually mail-ordering impoverished women to buy female subservience. This about sums the problem up with both late capitalism and anti-feminist rhetoric. Hey (p.s.) why can't they just go to a battered women's shelter in the US and find abused, impoverished women. Oh, right, those battered women are their ex-wives and the battered women's shelter are those 'feminists' who won't let the freeptards into the shelter to re-beat their wives and kids.

Oh yeah. Another synonym for freeper in the thesaurus of life: stalker.

43. Exactly. It reminds me, in a creepy way, of families that hire
women from overseas to watch children/do housework, and then refuse to pay them. I've seen several stories lately about women who were essentially kept as slaves. These women are already taking a risk in moving here ... don't they deserve to know whether their husband-to-be is a violent sociopath?

47. What is so very sad is that what these men are really looking for
Is a woman who is completely, totally dependent on them. Can't speak the language, has to remain married to the guy for fear of being deported back home, can't work, and the big one, can't complain or raise a fuss when they're abused.

However what's funny is that as soon as the woman has her citizenship, speaks the language and can hold a job, they're outta that marriage as fast as they can run. My RW brother in law picked up one of these Russian women, and now that she is a full citizen, the family pool on when they get a divorce is on. My pick is within six months, we'll see.

of the "Cherry Blossom"?
Subservient manners are just the icing on the cake, or the "insurance".

They are buying women out of catalogs, based on their AGE AND LOOKS.

They are paying for sex. Because we all know that money can't buy you love, only gratitude, and gratitude doesn't get MY juices flowing....

American brides who might actually be aware of their rights, and aren't afraid of being sent home.

Sad enough for them; horribly sad for the women that have to prostitute themselves for an American.

62. I used to see a shit-load of mail order brides at my old job.
I kid you not!

I live in a fairly red state and this is a growing trend among middle age suburban-ites. These poor, mostly Russian, women would come in looking shell shocked most of the time. The "husband" would almost always speak for them. He would sit with them during their eye exam, pick out or recommend a specific pair of glasses for them as if they couldn't make a decision for themselves and then he would whip out the checkbook acting as if it was under lock and key all the rest of the time. The one woman that I remember coming back on a regular basis finally left her shit-head spouse and is now working as a dental hygienist. She is a changed woman!

These "men" are the dregs of American society. They definitely couldn't get a real woman if their life depended on it. I suspect their wives either end up in a shelter for abused women or die an early death.

65. My wife has an employee who has a mail order bride and he is a freep, LOL.
I guess it must be easier just to cut a check.

I truly feel sorry for a woman who would try to escape poverty and oppression only to be dominated by a sick freeper :puke:

IMHO, the whole mail-order bride thing is disgusting, and so is being attracted to a race or culture of women because they supposedly display a certain set of desired characteristics. The freeper thread was a hoot, though -- pitting confused conservative women who don't know they're feminists against patriarchal, unapologetic American women haters, against a theologian who thinks oral sex is sodomy, against a few well-reasoning posters who, while conservative (or more libertarian, it seems), actually "get" the idea that partnerships should be between two equal people, and that the expectations of roles and stereotypes don't really pan out. Truly fascinating -- and, I must say, not much less confused than some of the "war of the sexes" threads here, at DU -- though I'm glad that here, at least, there is no stereotype of the "traditional woman" (:scared:), for whom most of the men are looking. There are those who insist that judging a woman, primarily based on her looks isn't the commodification of human relationships, but they still seem less offensive than the "fathers' rights" and "I wanna traditional wife" set, over at FR.

71. I wonder what goes through the Freeper women's minds...
When I was reading through this thread, some of the women Freepers said "Oh no, here goes another thread bashing American women..." From the comments alluding to past threads, I guess they have a post where the Freeper men bash American women in general every few weeks. You wonder why women Freepers would stick around if their male counterparts obviously have so low an opinion of them.

One of the funniest things on these threads are the guys who are like "Well, American women, you want to be a feminist? Guess what, I'm done with you, I've ordered myself a mail-order bride from some third world country." They're acting as if that is some threat, as if some Freeper wacko who wants to order a mail-order bride, taking himself off the eligible bachelors list, is some great loss for all American women. These guys are really self-deluded. I guess that should be obvious - they're posters on Free Republic!

72. Title "How Freepers Find Their Wives" was so classic -- I had to click...
Edited on Sat Jan-28-06 04:10 PM by StefanX
As a thread pertaining to sex and marriage, I figured it would generate a lot of heat (and gas).

First of all, notice how they're making it sound like the ONLY way to hook up with a foreign babe is via mail order. Obviously, none of these oafs are going to be jetting over to Europe and offering an attractive woman in a bar in London, Paris or Munich a drink -- or getting to know an interesting overseas colleage at school or work or in their community. The only way they can avoid the "shrieking harpies" and "feminazis" and "Marxists" and "wymyn" which they claim have taken over America is mail-order brides. I've never seen such bitterness in a bunch of men before.

And by the way, the last time I ever even really saw the word "Marxist" or "wymyn" used in earnest was about 20 years ago at college, in a few scattered flyers and grafitti. Ah, those Freepers -- still smarting over the papercuts of yesteryear, furiously waging a never-ending rearguard battle against an imaginary foe.

And I loved the way this female Freeper stood up for her sex (and her sister citizens) by smacking down a quote from a lame male poster:

Some of us guys are sick and tired of women trying to be men; they aren't good at it.

And all of us gals are tired of wimpy men and unfortuntely they ARE good at it.


... a typical, textbook Freeper paranoia: "People aren't living up to their standard gender ideals!!"

Funny how Freepers and Fundies feel they have to spend SO much of their time making sure that men aren't manly enough and women aren't womanly enough...

Or check this one out:

These liberal Feminazis are only concerned when it doesn't concern the murdering (genocide) of 47 million innocent babies.

I also see this as another attempt by the homosexual and lesbian crowd at branding heterosexual men as something less than human beings.

I thought Murdering Ted Kennedy and his ilk were worried about privacy of American individuals.

Or is that only if it coincides with the wishes of the extreme fringe crowd.


There you have it folks. The full array of Freeper talking points and all-purpose bogeymen -- suitable for any topic that can't be blamed on the Clintons! Just wave your fists and start sputtering about the "Marxists" and the "Feminazis", the "47 million innocent babies" and the "homosexual and lesbian crowd," "Murdering Ted Kennedy" and, last but not least, "the extreme fringe crowd". Guaranteed to win any argument!

74. LOL - they think women from the Philippines & Russia are traditional?
Before marrying my wife (who is from China, but I met right here in CT), I dated a few women that were born in Russia and several that were born in the Philippines. If these guys are expecting them to be subservient women who stay home, barefoot & pregnant in the kitchen, they'll be in for a rude awakening!!! I've actually found a lot of foreign born women, while sometimes outwardly quiet at first, to be very self confident and strong willed when you get to know them.

And, don't even get me started on Chinese women...

:evilgrin:
