As for immediately pegging me as an apologist for ‘the men’, I have yet to stop laughing. I have literally been murdered by ‘the men’; the heart just hasn’t stopped beating yet. Continuously stalked and assaulted by the corporatocracy for daring to litigate and speak against their industries, not one single women’s group has responded to any call for help. Well, almost none. ‘NOW’ responded by sending me a request for money when they got my emails. Not one shelter can accept me because our admittedly meager resources go for sexual/domestic violence victims. Women activists are left in the lurch which is why there are so few of us. Of course, the male model of law enforcement doesn’t apply to women activists any more than it does to rape victims.

When you get done with the men, remember that the corporatocracy is responsible for inciting/increasing the hatred of women that a decline in religion and increased need for two incomes in each family had just begun to erode. The corporatocracy is also responsible for the chronic diseases of women in industrialized countries along with the failure of health care to evolve in the way we need it to address women’s differential responses to their ‘one size fits few’ model of pharmacotherapy. Did you know women need only half the antigen concentration of men in vaccines? No wonder we get all the autoimmune disorders. Did you know that cholesterol meds work differently on us? The failure to make medicines specifically tailored to women is about profit. If it were more profitable, or we clamored for specialists in women’s medicine (not talking gynecology here), there would be a push to design those medicines for us; to re-calculate OSHA standards for women in the workplace exposed to poisons – generally recognize us as having body parts other than our uteruses.

Money. as used by the corporatocracy, can increase or decrease the hatred of women although it won’t eradicate it. After all, even an oppressed man can own one. But do go on; it is entertaining although I have little time to enjoy it.

I come here because I’m mad as hell at the patriarchy AND at the men who benefit from it and I don’t want to hide that or explain it or tone it down. Hanging around with other women who are mad as hell makes me feel just a little bit more sane. The rest of the time I get to hold my tongue – so to speak – as geek feminists and academic feminists and dyke feminists and athlete feminists tip toe through the eggshells lest they be seen as ball busters.

I come here for the wit; I stay for the ball busting.

I talked about man hate here, near the end of the page.
