I, too, come upon Whiskey’s pronouncements on women and groan to myself, “Oh no, not again!”
While I concede the fact he cites – that women, especially young women, are overwhelmingly for Obama, I just can’t stand the harping on the high-testosterone Alpha male as the never-failing chick-magnet while all the Beta-boys are contemptible. The reason why I hate it so much is because it portrays women as if they’re merely responding to some pre-determined biological imperative. It makes women sound sub-human. Like animals. Answering the call of the wild, or whatever.
The first time I ever saw photographs (probably in some nauseating National Geographic) of African tribal women with their necks grotesquely elongated by the gradual addition of metal rings; or photographs of some other tribe’s women with preposterously and weirdly distended lower lips achieved by the insertion of wooden(?) disks; or the first time I ever heard about the old Chinese practice of hobbling (crippling) women; or the first time I ever heard about female genital mutilation in the Muslim world… well, that’s when I knew that culture trumps all else. Can’t you just admit that the toxic culture women grow up in has everything to do with their bad choices – and not all of them do make bad choices (miracle of miracles).
Whiskey himself admits that men have a “habit” of taking whatever sex they can find. Now we’ve had a generation’s worth of exhortations to women to be more like men – finally! men get to have it their way! – and suddenly the breakdown of society is all women’s fault due to single motherhood.
Nevertheless, it depresses me greatly that so many women are all gung-ho for Obama. But then again, it depresses me greatly that so many of whatever gender are all gung-ho for Obama.
