Someone on ChicagoBoyz said something about this putting her off ever identifying as a feminist ever again and someone from my science fiction community linked it so I went to read and low and behold, a particular crusader for the rights of all right thinking people, minorities, and non-binary-gendered persons who seems to have made it a life work to stem the spread of evil... went to defend the shirtstorm as valid and important, and incidentally to say bad things about the sci-fi writers he/she doesn't like in case there were new people who might accidentally buy one of their books.
So what are defenders of womenhood saying about the shirt and feminism?
How about this one... Antifeminists should be (figuratively) raped with a chain saw.
Brilliant.
After enjoying the mind image of rapes with chainsaws, this person went on to explain that the asian girl he/she stalks across the internet should not be *allowed* her hateful opinions and that the author of the Prison Chaplain memoir I linked here a long time ago was a racist.
Meanwhile on the shirt front, my facebook has enjoyed a dose of "people just need to be willing to listen a little and be open to the idea, and they'd see how true it was" that things like sexy shirts are oppressive horrors we're supposed to take seriously and it was SO a good idea to detract and destroy a man's best day because he should have known better.
If it was just one person... but some blogger for the Washington Examiner did the same thing... "We need to have a talk about this and the men involved need to listen."
Getting upset is a "backlash" that proves that the feminists are right about everything.
I'm still bemused by the "raped with a chainsaw" thing from someone who is defending feminism... all while demanding that all the people who never heard of my friends before denounce the cherry picked quotes or else be tarred with the same.
I will say that it didn't work and everyone was laughing to hard to take it seriously... but that's because we're SANE and realize that only INSANITY makes the shirtstorm, the "sit down and listen", the proof-by-backlash, rape culture, slut-shaming, vagina costume, pay for my birth control, hyper-prudish, but I said *figuratively* raped by a chainsaw, ideas all fit into the same insane box.
At some point it's necessary to stop patronizing the inmates.
..."In Obama’s post-2011 world, it seems, legislators are not free agents but parliamentary subordinates possessed of two choices: either they do what he wants, or they watch him do what he wants. Refusing assent seems to be regarded as an entirely illegitimate option. This, it should be perfectly obvious, is the attitude not of the statesman, but of the mugger. “Give me your wallet,” the ruffian says, “or I will take it by force.” ..."
No. He masked who he truly is when he was running for election, and in every speech he made and press conference he held.
He said he would radically transform America, and people believed that he would. Only they didn't understand what he meant by "transformation".
Obama is who he is, and that is not the glib, public Obama voters saw. He is a petty, petulant, angry little man who remembers every lesson learned at the knee of Frank Marshall Davis, and every sermon heard in the pews of Jeremiah Wright.
He is a caliph, above the law, above compromise, except with Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda. He cannot be bothered with the petty give-and-take of working with the other party, with the nuisance of an outdated constitution and its silly notions of separation of powers.
I agree 100% with Charles C W Cooke: "The president has become everything he ran against."
Excellent op-ed, linked at ace.
"...In foreign affairs, too, President Obama has almost entirely reversed himself. In 2007, he told the Boston Globe that presidents have “no power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” That President Bush had abused his position, meanwhile, was a mainstay of Obama’s campaign. But, in the last three years, Obama has scoffed derisively at anybody who reminds him of this stance, insisting at each juncture that he is possessed of the “authority” to do exactly as he wishes as commander-in-chief. Since 2011, our anti-war, pro-Congress president has launched two major military endeavors without congressional approval..."
Somebody called Althouse a "gruber voter" this AM. Also, he appears to be mocking people's overreaction to last night's speech. She didn't even bother to watch it and is waiting to read others' reactions to it.
Academics and government workers in general are some of the most insulated people out there on the topic of illegal immigration. We might wonder why they and unions aren't at all concerned about the topic or at least why they ally with Dems who are pro-illegal immigration. One reason is the erroneous belief that the ends justify the means and more immigrants means more Dem voters. But another, more "human" reason is that they hold safe jobs in industries which are largely immune to the problem. Their attitude is "hey, why don't you just be like us? -- hire a maid and have a more fabulous lifestyle."
I spent too much time this morning wanting to throw my coffee cup against the television screen, the frying pan in which my breakfast was heated through the patio door.
@Haz He masked who he truly is when he was running for election, and in every speech he made and press conference he held.
Obama did mask his true self, with help from the media. He was never vetted. But he also made promises to his supporters that are now broken. Do his supporters even care?
All of his promises have expiration dates. Even the promises he made about making insurance companies pay - even that was a big lie. Consumers and tax payers are paying, while insurance companies are set to rake it in. His promises to end what he called Bush-era over-reach. The promise of government transparency. The promise of ending divisive politics. We knew it was garbage, but his supporters bought it.

No, I don't think they do care. The aim of a large number of them appears to be a one-party state, with Congress and the presidency forever Democratic controlled. So anything he can do to help bring in more voters is fine by them.
For the rest who support him, all they know is that the GOP is one mean, racist bunch of SOBs -- because that's what they're told by the MSM.
Today I caught part of Julia Julia. Whatever the name of the movie with Meryl Streep's imitation of Dan Aykroyd's high-pitched imitation of Julia Child.
The young blogger argues with her husband and misses work. Her blog reveals she was not sick.
Her boss says, "If I were Republican I'd fire you."
And I thought, "If I were producer I'd fire the writer" and I'm not Republican.
Even movies about food one encounters ridiculous overt Democrat propaganda about their betters.
In an instant my regard for a barely tolerable but still nearly entertaining movie went zoop zoop zoop ding "0."
So I pissed right along and filled my tank up with gasoline, oh how I love watching the numbers spin, then across the street to Tony's for their inhouse frozen beef stock then back home to the bottleshop downstairs for bottle of beaujolais village for beef Bourguignon, pourquoi c'est si bon, tres, tres bon si bon, bon bon si bon bon. Bon si bon si bon, booooon booooon
chip - this is why, when the hollywood elite gather at the Kodak theater or whatever, for the annual awards ceremony where they all each other golden statues and self congratulatory emotionalist hand clapping - I'd like to nuke the whole building.

That giant ass
of his is half white, you know.
I think I've done enough damage for one night.
Yet I still feel like breaking things.
Government largesse smells like @teamobama spirit.
I could have gone my entire life without seeing that picture.
So... the shirt thing...

And no... an oiled down picture of your very large butt is not empowering.
It likely paid well, though.
The Ottomans missed one.
They're both attention whores.
ed, Bingo!
"Obama is a teen on crack and Valerie Jarret is his mother."
I heard that somewhere.
I know where I heard it. A gay guy from Massachusetts.
Obama’s Imperial Transformation Is Now Complete
The president has become everything he ran against.

To quote Pat Buchanan: "...this [Obama's amnesty] is rule by diktat, the rejection of which sparked the American Revolution."
What Hazman said@9:06am..
And, yes, Chip, like you, I STILL feel like breaking things..
The 'breaking things' comments are, um, relevant.
I spent too much time this morning wanting to throw my coffee cup against the television screen, the frying pan in which my breakfast was heated through the patio door.
I feel all Ferguson-y.

He masked himself from people who wanted to be fooled.
On things like gay marriage his supporters were all... well, he's got to SAY that, we know what he really thinks.
But they'd still believe the other stuff he said, if he said what they liked.
Someone should have piped in THIS over the loud speaker while Obama was giving his speech last night.

Breaking the country, one poopter at a time!
One pooter at a time.
Brilliant Chip, remind me never to piss you off.

Turn the place into a wind farm.
