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.

Where’s the Beef? Feminist Leaders on tiptoe with Submission to Obama and Rick Warren?Wednesday, December 31, 2008 at 12:07 pm — admin
A concerned reader wrote us to ask if any Feminist organization has publicly denounced Obama’s decision to have Rick Warren give the invocation on Jan. 20th. Excellent question…we decided to do a quick round-up. Sadly most have been utterly silent or tiptoe upset--That is a press release was issued but is not being actively disseminated and promoted. There is no OUTrage. Just a dilute press release w/o a press conference. (psst…dear Feminist leaders at NOW and Feminist Majority and NARAL…all u gotta do is call CNN or Fox or Today or …etc….and request a sitting! They will lap u up if you so choose!) As it is, one must search out the answer vs getting it on the 6 o'clock news! This statement came from Eleanor Smeal, President of the Feminist Majority Foundation: Rather tame Eleanor and notably this item was Left OFF the FM home page, but at least it is a little somin’somin’. Here is the link: The National Organization for Women, put out a press release on its home page (kudos), but did not feature a strong message of dissent from NOW pres, Kim Gandy. Here is that link: http://www.now.org/press/12-08/12-18.html NARAL has nothing, nada, zip, on its web site, and president Nancy Keenan was most supportive of Obama before Clinton had left the race. We called NARAL for any comment Nancy may have on the Warren Pick, and will let you know if they respond. But the grassroots is afoot! I found a blogsite called 4th Wave Feminism.com that is running a petition to Obama asking that he change his mind about having the despicable Warren lead us in payer!.....Yuck, need a shower! Here is a link to the site and their petition! Sign it!! http://www.fourthwavefeminism.com/2008/12/rick-warren-petition.html Now for all you folks who wonder why Feminist Organizations are not up in arms, who wonder them nice feminist ladies want to keep their nice round Obama buttons on and not stir up too big a fuss…here is something culled from a Rick Warren website: Pastors.com, a ministry of Saddleback Church. It tells women how to place themselves in marriage—Under, Below, and be Neat about it you 2nd class XX humans. Excerpt of what Warren thinks ought be taught to the gals:
Nothing here for women to get worked up about at all…really, to get worked up might make Feminist leaders seem too emotional! Instead we must Thank the Lord for a “Measure of Freedom” and look to a man to give us logic. Oh and don’t forget that to exercise control over our own bodies makes us equivalent to Hitler per the esteemed Preachy Teachy Man Wonder Warren. PUKEY. Enough to kill ur appetite for good! This is the culture that Obama is giving national relevance to. (Hmmm, Wonder if Obam would give Warren the national stage if he preached that blacks ought be submissive to whites…yeah, trust me...Warren would be safe for a Jan. in SoCal if that were the case.) This is the roast beast Obama is having to the National dinner for the U.S. to feast upon! Eat it up Kiddies, cause Feminist Leaders are NOT leading loudly for us. We CAN’T hear YOU!

Another point : Why did the
Another point : Why did the above orgs and so-called "feminist" web sites , write in protest of Warren, however muted, but left off on Favreau. Women as props is OK, but slander gays and bang that gets women going?
Thank you for your
Thank you for your interesting article about a preacher who publicly gives the impression his church is all inclusive and everyone is created equal under the eye of God, and then out of the other side of his mouth, he gives his definition of SUBMISSION, but only as to how it would relate to women!
In years when the economy is in the tank and a country is at war , that is the time for women to become even more Vocal and Active, least they end up being the one's to be blamed for the greed of the corporate men walking away with billions of dollars and the war mongering of male leaders such as President Bush et al.
Enough I say also to the churchs dictating to women about what God meant in scripture. She knows how to read and can intuit for herself these scriptures.
Warren seems to have left the part out where God demanded that man LOVE women, and I am pretty sure God definition of love did not mean SEX.
If Warren preached that men LOVE (meaning, a strong positive emotion of regard and affection ) then these very same woman, would not have to be preached about submission because then their relationship,( man and women) would both be one of LOVE ,which would make submission unnecessary.
God created man and women as a partnership and as far as I am concerned the only submission asked by God to women was that she submits to bearing and nourishing in her body. the future generations of mankind and because of her submission to that goal, she has total control over her body.
“It is a relief to know that as a wife and mother I am not totally responsible for my family. I have a husband to look to for counsel and direction. I can rely on his toughness when I am too soft and his logic when I am too emotional.”
WHAT KIND OF PATHETIC DRIBBLE IS THAT?
I call upon all women to make sure that the ERA is ratified this year and if not 2009 then next, it will not languish in the corner like some sad women have been doing for year....I ask all women to submit to this great cause and come and join Pumapac and help get ERA ratified....
Thank you for all this good
Thank you for all this good research! Those old groups are ... disappointing.
At least the Puma crowd is coming out loud and clear. Heidi Li was one of the first to denounce Warren, loud and thoughtfully.
Thank you for bringing this
Thank you for bringing this cause to light. The so called women's community is so timid it is embarrassing. If they can't take the lead, they should fall to the rear. The LGBT community is light years ahead of women. Don't women, the largest voting block in the country realize when they are being discounted and ignored?
If we can't negotiate with Obama now, what will it be like later?
Added note: For additional
Added note: For additional perspective, below is a link to a prior FemiSex story on NOW's and Feminist Majority's utter silence on the Jon Favreau misogyny incident.
"If we can’t get two prominent Feminist groups to speak out quickly, forcefully against allowing a frat-boy misogynist to be the Leading Voice of the Nation then the lipstick should go elsewhere."

Also, worth noting...Kim Gandy pres. of NOW did speak to CNN about O-Bams sad idea that only 5 women should be seated at his Cabinet Table. Kudos there. But question is, did CNN call you Kim? Women want loud voices of protest, banging the drum repeatedly until the noise is noisome to Obama. The title of the piece on CNN "Why some women's groups are miffed at Obama." was offensive in and of itself. Miffed, implies just a tad out of sorts, and that it is a girl thing to be Miffed. Miffed in not a word to be taken with any true level of seriousness! If that is all CNN got from you...Miffed, then put out a statement that clarifies this!
