Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007
248,300
The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

Keith Olbermann gone from MSNBC--The Bell Tolled for a BigotSaturday, January 22, 2011 at 2:38 pm — admin
Zippity dooda zippity day, a misogynist bigot is fired today!! One less bigoted voice is coming your way! Zippity doda zippity day! The story line is that MSNBC did not fire the bigot for his misogyny; they fired him for getting too big for his britches and not saying sorry for breaking company rules and for demanding his suspension for breaking the rules end early. Doesn’t matter. Don’t expect the big men in media to directly address misogyny. But do be happy. Self-respecting women everywhere had a part in this and our united opposition to an outright media BIGOT does hold sway. And perhaps because of the outright opposition to Keith Olbermann by women who have self respect and oppose misogyny, perhaps in the deal by Comcast to buy NBC Universal, the Comcast dealmakers said, geeet RRIDD of this Bigot! FemiSex is proud of our Deathwatch on Olbermann! We placed it in Aug . of 2008. (see links below) It took two years, but finally the Bell has Tolled for a Bigot! from our files: Thank you for your submission! This entry has been added to Merriam-Webster's Open Dictionary: And folks, remember that Media Matter is NO friend to women. Here is what they have to say about the departure of OlberBigot from the airwaves:
HA, HA. It is just like MSM to deny that PLENTY of women of both parties are thrilled to hear that a Bigot who hated women who willed to power are reveling in his ouster. http://www.femisex.com/content/olbermann-matthews-deathwatch http://www.femisex.com/content/hillary-and-palin-assassins-someone-remin... http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/47982.html#ixzz1Bn0nTGKH RIP Keith BIGOT Olbermann: you are one fren' waste of space pothole ! |

vomit inducing to read the
vomit inducing to read the account in the Times today of Olberfuck's boss saying that fan of Mrs. Clinton's felt like betrayed women, screwed over by Olbermann. cant they just realize it's the sexism stupid.
Hey jackass Olbermann,
Hey jackass Olbermann, Obama WAS a media affirmative action candidate. There is not one sane person that thinks that if Hillary Clinton had run for president the day she stepped into her first term as a U.S. Senator (as Barry did) that you would not claim that she had no credentials to run for POTUS. Sorry, Olbermann but you need medication and lots of it.
I like your analysis here. I
I like your analysis here. I wouldn't be surprised if the expressed outrage over Olbermann's misogynistic rants did have some influence on this, although it's hard to know for sure. At any rate, success!!!
