Even shaky reason dictates that a robust women's electoral movement
would cleanse repugican patriarchs from Congress, governorships, and
state legislatures, and bring the repugican war on women to an end…
There is no valid argument disputing the simple fact that America is a
paradise for patriarchs and, to a slightly less degree, champions of
misogyny. What defies logic, especially in the 21st Century, is that repugican patriarchs are able to maintain their hold on political power
when women make up 51% of the population. Even shaky reason dictates
that a robust women’s electoral movement would cleanse repugican
patriarchs from Congress, governorships, and state legislatures, and
bring the repugican war on women to an abrupt and just end. However,
that is certainly not the case and it is down to American women’s
greatest enemy and it is not repugican men per se, but the evangelical
women electing them.
The repugicans have historically, and regularly,
opposed any legislation aimed at granting women equal rights as American
citizens, and although no Democrat or repugican has the courage to
admit it, the unspoken and permanently entrenched “male supremacy clause”
is founded in the biblical edict that women are commanded by a
mysterious deity to be subservient to a man; any man, any time, any
place, and under any circumstances. Although America is not a nation
under bible, repugicans have had the greatest measure of success known
to man in keeping women as subservient, second-class citizens in an
nation alleged to be founded on equality, and their greatest supporters
are not necessarily other patriarchs, but women who vote for repugicans.
What is stunning beyond comprehension is that women
who support repugicans, particularly evangelical women, know full well
that their support for repugican patriarchy is inflicting second-class
status, and certain misery, on their own mothers, sisters, daughters,
and other evangelical women. It leads one to assume that evangelical
women either suffer from Stockholm Syndrome and adopted their
patriarchal masters’ cult belief that women are born to be subservient
to men, or they just hate other women; there can be no other
explanations.
The repugicans running for the Senate and House have
made little effort to conceal their anti-women’s rights agenda;
particularly restricting every woman’s right to choose their own
reproductive health. In both the House and Senate, repugicans have
introduced “personhood” legislation that, if passed in a repugican-controlled Congress, will effectively criminalize
birth-control as premeditated murder; choosing when to give birth will
be eliminated. Many so-called wingnut 'christian' repugicans have
more-than intimated that they are in strict agreement with catholic
delusion that contraception is a mortal sin. And yet, even though over
95% of American women have used artificial birth control, including catholics and evangelical 'christians', at least half of them regularly
vote for repugicans intent on adopting the catholic prohibition on
artificial birth control. Not only to force women into perpetual
birthing machines, but to control them.
Evangelical women also dutifully vote for repugicans in state legislatures and Congress intent on abolishing
women’s access to reproductive health providers and advocates such as
Planned Parenthood, despite the lion’s share of their work is devoted to
family planning, pregnancy counseling, pre-natal services, birth
control, and cancer screenings; all things repugicans are adamant that
women, especially poor women, do not deserve and will not receive if
they control Congress. One can hardly imagine that any woman, even a
staunch evangelical woman who embraces her own subservient position,
would advocate for restricting other women’s access to any healthcare,
much less reproductive health care, but when they vote for repugicans
they are willingly, and with malice aforethought, denying other women’s
access to health care.
If a woman refuses preventative cancer screenings,
new baby coverage, or contraception, it is their right to choose for
themselves. It may be inherently stupid, but it is their right to be
inherently stupid whatever their motivation. However, for any woman to
give unwavering electoral support to repugicans who promise to deny
every other woman that coverage borders on pure evil, whether they are
trapped in a cult or suffer Stockholm Syndrome.
Look, any person who would deny women the right to
any healthcare options is deficient of basic human compassion, and all repugican candidates, especially males, appear to lack any regard for
women. One just expects other women to show more compassion than repugican males, but as the evangelical repugican war on women
demonstrates, there is no difference between repugican patriarchs or
evangelical women; they both lack compassion for women.
Evangelical women are also aware that many, many
women, especially their evangelical cohorts in the bible belt, work to help support their families and either earn poverty
minimum wage, or if they are very fortunate to hold “professional”
positions, earn 76-cents on the dollar compared to their male
counterparts. The repgicans have not only blocked every single piece of
legislation to provide women equal pay for equal work, they vehemently
oppose raising the pathetically-low minimum wage of which women make up
the majority of the workforce earning poverty wages.
When women vote for repugicans, they are voting
against not only their own economic well-being, they are voting to keep
all women economically disadvantaged. One might think that being 'christians' these women would be aggrieved at the thought of anyone
suffering in poverty due to repugicans keeping wages low, especially
other evangelical women. However, they must be mesmerized by their
cult’s demand that subjection to a man is a pre-condition to enter
heaven to deliberately vote for repugicans pledged to keep women
economically disadvantaged.
The repugicans have made no secret of their economic
agenda they claim appeals to women; but what woman in their right mind
is attracted to earning less than a man because they are a woman, or
loves earning poverty wages with no hope of an increase? Obviously many
evangelical women do because they will help elect repugicans on
Election Day. Also, what woman in their right mind embraces the prospect
of perpetual pregnancy that repugicans will impose on them when they
restrict access to contraception and a woman’s right to choose with a
certain-to-pass personhood bill in a repugican-controlled Congress?
Evangelical women, of course. It begs the question; are women who vote
for repugicans’ anti-women policies devoid of compassion for their own
mothers, sisters, and daughters, suffering Stockholm Syndrome, or
brainwashed into helping force all women into biblical subjection to
men? The answer is likely all of the above.
It is true that repugicans, primarily patriarchal
males, are enemies of American women; of that there is no rational
dispute. But without a majority of evangelical women loyally electing repugican patriarchs to positions of power, repugican men would be
impotent to wage war on women; a war they could not prosecute without
the loyal support of American women’s greatest enemies; evangelical
women.
