<p><em>Women&#8217;s Movement Reprise</em>, by Rachael Williams</p>
<p>After decades of men bearing the brunt of feminist hostility, it seems they’ve found a new target for their resentment: Their own bodies. </p>
<p>Katheryn Blundell, the editor of parenting magazine “Mother and Baby’s”, recently wrote <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jun/27/breastfeeding-is-creepy-outrage">an article</a> referring to breastfeeding as “creepy” and offering a list of reasons why her baby didn’t deserve the best nutrition possible.  Among her excuses; she wanted her body back, and didn’t see it appropriate for her “teeny, tiny, innocent baby latching on where only a lover has been before”.  Apparently no one has told Blundell that when she lost her virginity, she was allowing a lover where only her gynecologist had been before.  Sex and motherhood are full of firsts, and if she is this appalled at nursing, let’s just say a lifetime of gasps await her.   </p>
<p>Sadly, she’s not alone in her disgust at the act of a mother nursing her child.  Kim Kardashian <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-20008409-10391704.html">tweeted</a> with revulsion,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>EWW Im at lunch,the woman at the table next 2 me is breast feeding her baby with no coverup [sic].</em></p></blockquote>
<p>While Blundell’s voluntary ignorance at what should be her area of expertise is both saddening and offensive, Kardashian takes the irony award for being offended by a nursing mother when her claim to fame was a leaked sex tape.</p>
<p>In today’s world, it’s perfectly acceptable to be a porn star and trot around in front of the paparazzi showing as much cleavage as possible; but a mother breastfeeding her child qualifies as vulgar. </p>
<p>The message is loud and clear: Women’s bodies exist for sex, and nothing else. </p>
<p>Why would any woman accept such a short-sighted view of womanhood?  Put simply, it’s the result of decades of the feminist movement trying to convince women that <em>female</em> empowerment is achievable only though <em>sexual</em> empowerment. </p>
<p>Feminism began with the noblest of intentions for women, fighting for equal job opportunities, equal pay, and acknowledgment as equal to men.  While women indeed are fundamentally equal to men, they are also fundamentally different.  Feminists don’t want to acknowledge that point, and instead want women to abandon the idea that one’s body is an instrument of motherhood, and instead use masculine sexual aggression to make themselves more like men.  As a male friend of mine said, “Women should aim higher!”</p>
<p>Hollywood propaganda like <em>Sex and the City</em> has venerated competitive promiscuity.  The characters are presented simultaneously as heroines and whores, their loveless love-making portrayed as something to aspire to.  Meanwhile, the same young women who idolize these characters are being indoctrinated in school to believe that safe, easily-accessible abortion is a foundation of their rights as women. </p>
<p>In a move that would have the National Organization of Women (NOW) beaming, <a href="http://www.komonews.com/news/88971742.html">this report</a> reveals that a Seattle school nurse offered to provide a pregnant student with transportation and funding for an abortion—so long as she kept it a secret from her mother.  It’s no wonder that women are unable to recognize that their breasts could serve a purpose in nurturing their child, if they are taught from such an early age that sex is without consequence or commitment, and even a pregnancy doesn’t have to mean having a baby.  It appears that our pro-abortion culture is the only thing that the women of NOW are likely to give birth to and lovingly nurture.</p>
<p>Feminism has convinced women that empowerment and exploitation are synonymous. In the process feminism has not only killed women’s self-worth, but also their maternal instinct.  It’s become so difficult for women to view themselves as anything other than a sex object , that any act involving their body is seen as something sexual.  The most basic and beautiful of human interactions such as  a mother nursing her child is seen as ruining a woman’s sexual organs, and viewed with disdain and ridicule, rather than admiration and sentimentality.</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/sex_and_the_city1.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2232" style="margin: 10px;" title="sex_and_the_city1" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/sex_and_the_city1-196x300.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="300" /></a>In some ways, the change in what is expected of women could be seen as a positive—freeing women from a lifestyle that may not suit them.  However, more often than not, it means that the new expectation demands as much sex as possible with as many partners as possible, and any potential consequences of that sex be dismissed without a second thought.  When compared to the staggering numbers of babies killed each year in abortion procedures, the choice to deny a child the birthright of their mother’s milk seems downright insignificant. </p>
<p>What is significant is that NOW and those who think like them have made their own bodies the enemy, and not only do women suffer for it, their children are punished as well.  If women really want to be empowered they need to abandon this anti-woman brand of feminism, and give birth to a new generation of girls who will grow up knowing that womanhood means a lot more than just lying under a man.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Who better than Iran to be the protector of women’s rights?! When you consider what <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/04/29/elects-iran-commission-womens-rights/?test=latestnews">Fox News</a> reports are the rights of women in Iran, well you can see why Iran was the obvious choice:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1998  alignnone" style="margin: 10px;" title="iranian women protesting" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/iranian-women-protesting-300x208.jpg" alt="" width="264" height="190" /></p>
<blockquote><p>…women lack the ability to choose their husbands, have no independent right to education after marriage, no right to divorce, no right to child custody, have no protection from violent treatment in public spaces, are restricted by quotas for women&#8217;s admission at universities, and are arrested, beaten, and imprisoned for peacefully seeking change of such laws.</p></blockquote>
<p>Gloria Steinham, is this thing on?  Where are the NAG girls aka, National Organization for Liberal Women?  You know, the ones with armpit hair and goatees!  I guess they are too busy looking for <em>jobs</em> these days, because the news that Iran will be their new “Helen Reddy” should have them up to their hairy armpits in outrage!</p>
<p>Selecting Iran to protect women’s rights is tantamount to putting Clinton in charge of training chubby White House coed interns?  Below is the curriculum:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Training Session for Chubby White House Coed Interns</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Tonight’s Host: Bill “What Is ‘Is’” Clinton</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When: Tonight</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Where: Oval Office, be sure to look “under the desk”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Additional items needed by interns:  Kneepads and babywipes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Or how about the UN put Roman Polansky in charge of Children’s Rights?</p>
<p>I know, you are likely already ahead of me on this one, but let’s just skip the formality and give Ahmedinejad his Nobel Peace Prize and make him the UN’s new nuclear inspector! After all, he’s just kidding about the complete and utter annihilation of Israel, and that new nuclear facility is just for clean energy, Infidel!</p>
<p>So when Iran rules the world, look at what American women will have to look forward to. </p>
<p>First, American women can have the joys of being stoned for just being…<em>American women</em>!  The new assigned husband thinks you are giving him too much lip?!  Stoned.  Can’t produce boys? (Who wants girls, duh!)  Stoned.  Caught wearing lipstick, well that will get you an acid facial, and I’m not talking derma-brasion!</p>
<p>At least ObamaCare will cover all the plastic surgery you will need, so no blood no foul!</p>
<p>So how did this decision to select Iran come to be?  It appears that the decision was made the same way laws in America are made under a Pelosi-controlled Congress and sanctioned by his most unholiness:</p>
<blockquote><p>Buried 2,000 words deep in a U.N. <a href="http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2010/ecosoc6419.doc.htm" target="_blank"><strong>press release</strong></a><strong> </strong>distributed Wednesday on the filling of &#8220;vacancies in subsidiary bodies,&#8221; was the stark announcement: Iran, along with representatives from 10 other nations, was &#8220;elected by acclamation,&#8221; meaning that no open vote was requested or required by any member states — including the United States. FOXNews.com learned of the press release only after being alerted to it by Anne Bayefsky director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/iran-woman-violence.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1999" title="iran woman violence" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/iran-woman-violence-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p>Bush freed 11 million Iraqi and Afghani women, and he is considered a war monger, fighting for oil.  Iran says publicly that it wants the destruction of Israel and builds a weapons-grade nuclear facility, and they get the distinction of promoting women’s rights. Go figure!</p>
<p>I know that Iran has presented some elaborate PR campaign on behalf of the New World Order.  I can see the next series of commercials, where the UN discusses Iran’s “kinder, gentler radical Islam” promotion, inviting Christians to:</p>
<blockquote><p>…come to Iran and check us out. This time, we promise not to cut off your Infidel heads!</p></blockquote>
<p>This move by the UN takes women’s rights back into the Stone Ages and just goes to show you how insane the world has become.  As if America doesn’t have enough reasons to disregard the UN, this one certainly adds fuel to the nuclear fueling rods.</p>
<p>The UN yet again proves that it is more useless than fat-free salad dressing and One-Calorie Coke in Rosie O’Donnell’s diet!</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Barack_Obama_NWO_Stooge-300x228.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1410" style="margin: 10px;" title="Barack_Obama_NWO_Stooge-300x228" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Barack_Obama_NWO_Stooge-300x228.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="228" /></a>Happy freakin’ New Year!  I have never been more energized to get out of the old and into the new. I wish I could have awakened in 2010 to find that 2009 was just a dream, albeit a very bad dream!  However, as Will Ferrell said in <em>Talledega Nights</em>, “That just happened!”</p>
<p>So what exactly <em>did</em> just happen? </p>
<p>For starters, in 2009 <em>the</em> most incompetent person ever took the oath of office for the presidency of the United States.  And like the condition of the grounds after the event, America was left with nothing but trash, outside and <em>inside</em> the White House.</p>
<p>Obama began 2009 dazzling America by serving up the most amazing set of crooks one could consider for high governmental positions.  A blind cockroach could find better citizens behind bars in <em>any</em> of America’s worst prisons, and I’m talking supermax!  Speaking of cockroaches…</p>
<p>For his #2, Obama selected Biden—a man who should be fitted for a straight jacket, plain and simple.  As I wrote in <a href="http://theblacksphere.blogspot.com/2008/10/biden-experiment.html">The Biden Experiment</a>, America’s VP is there for two reasons:  (1) To make Obama look smarter than he certainly is, and (2) to guarantee Obama’s safety.  Because nobody wants Crazy Joe to be president&#8230;for <em>real</em>!</p>
<p>Amazingly it is Biden that actually tells the truth about Obama and his inane policies.  “Nobody really knows where the stimulus money goes,” Biden quipped.  Forget that it was Biden’s job to track the money. Hey what’s a few hundred BILLION of our money to squander anyway?! Psst…</p>
<p>Ironically, Biden fits right in with this administration in that he is an inept, lying, do-nothing blowhard, and a bully.  Challenge Biden, and he will barrage and bludgeon you with his made up credentials.  Speaking of made up credentials…</p>
<p>For his #3 Obama chose the poster child for the Women’s Movement, <a href="http://theblacksphere.blogspot.com/2008/11/hillary-clinton-voice-of-america.html">Hillary Clinton</a>.  Hillary needed to pad her Senate credentials so much that she listed things like, &#8220;congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men&#8217;s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship&#8221;, &#8220;congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men&#8217;s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship&#8221;, &#8220;establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program&#8221;, and &#8220;name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda&#8221; on <a href="http://www.thomas.loc.gov/">her Senate resume</a>!  Being a senator from New York…”<em>a job so easy, even a cavewoman can do it</em>.”  The only person who has done less and received more is Hillary’s boss! </p>
<p>Hillary’s lack of a senate record in securing a career as Obama’s #3 was exceeded only by her ability to ride the coattails of her womanizing husband to achieve the goal of becoming an incompetent senator!  I will give this Hillbilly wife credit for parlaying a career of free-loading off men and the American taxpayer into a $100M fortune.  And I credit Obama for finding somebody whose lack of credentials almost makes <em>his</em> lack of credentials tolerable.</p>
<p>Next, Obama gave America Harry Reid, though accidentally.  Because nobody, even Obama, would select Harry Reid to be on their team…for <em>anything</em>?  Reid is a man who was “the irritant” his entire life, from the moment he could talk.  He was the kid who got beat up on a daily basis in school, because he was the schoolyard NARC.  He was the guy nobody wanted to have lunch with at work, because he would do anything to gain favor with the establishment, sell his soul and guess what?  Nothing has changed! Reid had no idea that his lack of character would someday provide the benefit that it has.  He found an administration that could put his ‘talent’ to work.  Thankfully 2010 will be the year Reid gets to see why he shouldn’t have allowed a sissy to be his protector! He will soon find out how difficult he and Obama have made things in the private sector.</p>
<p>Problem is, Obama’s list of cretins and misfits is endless. Tax cheats, employers of illegal aliens, business cheats, pedophiles, and let’s not forget all his “ists”:  Extortionists, Black Nationalists, communists, and the “ist” goes on, however for the sake of brevity forgive me for not indulging more. Nevertheless, if indeed you do judge people by those whom they surround themselves, then Obama gets an F, which we are all now aware—B+ is the new F.</p>
<p>Things get no better for 2009 when we shift from people to policy.</p>
<p>One of Obama’s first acts as president was to set education in the black community back to the Wilson era.  Obama cancelled a voucher program that enabled black kids freedom of choice in schools. This small act essentially relegated black kids to the socialist schools in their own neighborhoods—war zones for the most part.  Exciting to know that 2010 ushers in a new decade of stupidity for black folks, and serves as a reminder for the past racism and recklessness of the Democrats, when it comes to blacks.  But there was more in store for black folks…</p>
<p>Obama’s next move in 2009 was to allow more abortions in Africa.  After all, abortion is working so well for blacks in America, why not export it to blacks in The Motherland.  The abortion rate in America for blacks is 41%, as compared to the national average of 19%. At this rate, there will only be enough of us left to serve drinks at cocktail parties for “the establishment.”  But that&#8217;s what Obama wants; conditioning blacks for “the establishment.” </p>
<p>The man who called himself a uniter has revolutionized race relations for blacks&#8230;and I do mean “revolutionized.”  For the first time in the history of America, blacks believe they should get something for nothing, and blacks want Obama to take it from whites—Rodney King beatdown for white is just a bonus.  Oh, do black folks like to watch it, when &#8220;the man&#8221; gets a beatdown!</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-bowing-to-japanese.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1411" title="obama bowing to japanese" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-bowing-to-japanese-249x300.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="300" /></a>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p>2009 was a horrible year for America.  And let’s face it, 2010 will be another horrible year for America, the only saving grace is the election of 2010. Unfortunately America will have to endure eleven months of demoralization, insane economic policies, media suck ups, Liberal spinmasters, and other atrocities for the sake of freedom.  That is until we vote these traitors out of office.</p>
<p>On that note, I refuse to approach this year with a bad attitude. I resolve to do all that I can to rid America of these Communists Marxist radical racist revisionists, so we can start anew.  I look forward to the joining my fellow patriots, so that in 2011, we can all say with pride, “<em>That just happened</em>!”</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-447" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="michelle-obamas-arms" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/michelle-obamas-arms.jpg" alt="michelle-obamas-arms" width="200" height="300" />Conspicuous by her absence in the Middle East was Amerika&#8217;s buff First Lady. One might think that Barack didn&#8217;t want Michelle&#8217;s well-chiseled arms to be a distraction from <em>his</em> manliness in dealing with the Arabs. However the reason is much simpler: Muslim culture is patriarchal—to put it politely—and Michelle would have been treated like…a <em>second-class</em> citizen. [Gasp!]</p>
<p>To quote Cleavon Little from <em>Blazing Saddles</em>, &#8220;Where da white women at?&#8221; Liberal white women&#8217;s outrage has been noticeably absent in all of this. And black Democrat women aren&#8217;t exactly a chorus of disapproval either. In fact, I have heard nothing in the lamestream media about this. It&#8217;s all been about <em>Barack</em>.  The MAN!  Is even our media complicit in the mistreatment of women by not exploring such an abomination?</p>
<p>You would think that a trip of such potential importance, a visit that could further the cause of women&#8217;s rights at the global level <em>demanded</em> a visit by the First Lady. After all the atrocities Michelle has been through in her life as a middle-class black woman, being kept down by &#8220;the man.&#8221; She had to battle her way through affirmative action to get a &#8220;race pass&#8221; into Princeton. And ever looming was &#8220;the man,&#8221; there to prevent her from succeeding despite her Ivy League pedigree.</p>
<p>Michelle fought the man, landing cushy jobs, where ironically her increases in income grew—<em>geometrically</em>—as the stature of her husband grew.  How <em>did</em> she survive those turbulent times?  Amerika, <em>that</em> is <em>OPPRESSION</em>, and even a <em>fool</em> can recognize it.  <em>What is ya, ignant</em>?!</p>
<p>Michelle &#8220;Three Guns&#8221; [I hope somebody gets that] Obama could have proclaimed,</p>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt;">&#8220;…<em>For the first time in my adult Muslim now privileged Black Camelot life, I am proud</em>…!&#8221;</div>
<p>Because of her vast experience with oppression, Michelle would have easily spotted the oppression of her Muslim sisters. And with the hoopla that is Obama, she could have struck a blow for womankind across the globe, drawing attention to the mistreatment suffered by Muslim women. Sadly, she didn&#8217;t even make the trip.</p>
<p>Imagine if Barack had said to the Muslim people,</p>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt;">&#8220;<em>Your treatment of women is deplorable. The Muslim world needs to take a lesson from the United States in advancing the rights of women</em>?&#8221;</div>
<p>Now <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>that</em></span> would have been newsworthy!</p>
<p>There was no such declaration from Barack, who joyously proclaimed all facets of his Muslimness, during the visit. &#8216;Mum&#8217; was the word on the Muslim world&#8217;s treatment of women, and Barack proved to the Muslims that he had his woman in check. Michelle was made to stay home with the &#8220;chirrens,&#8221; like a good, obedient Muslim wife.</p>
<p>Michelle was in the safety and comfort of America, probably sauntering about the White House, donned in her new designer wardrobe ($600 tennis shoes and all) in scene reminiscent of Black Camelot—in other words, she was not relegated to wearing the traditional Muslim garb that she would have been required to wear had she made the trip. All together now—&#8221;<em>Second-class citizen</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-444" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="BRITAIN G20 PALACE" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-kissing-saudi-hand-300x238.jpg" alt="BRITAIN G20 PALACE" width="312" height="249" />The NOW generation white women should be up in their flabby arms over all of this lack of respect for the First Lady and the opportunity to help half a <em>billion</em> Muslim women around the globe, but sadly they are silent. Apparently women&#8217;s rights only apply to &#8220;white women with lesbian or bi-sexual tendencies who vote Democrat?&#8221; Why send the First Lady to protect a bunch of Muslim women, when there are important issues here in the states to deal with—like the celebration of LGBT month!</p>
<p>As for Barack, he knew the amount of media coverage Michelle&#8217;s visit would have garnered. There was no way he was going to showcase the treatment of women, particularly how the other half of Black Camelot would be treated—<em>like all other Muslim women</em>…at least publicly.  Can&#8217;t have that sort of thing showcased around the globe lest it make Muslims look bad.</p>
<p>Michelle would have been a distraction, and might have made Obama forget his place. Such a distraction could cause Barack to do something stupid—like grovel to the Arab world or even worse…kiss a Saudi&#8217;s hand.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>
