Maybe it’s just me. But this Seattle Times editorial, seemingly celebrating Washington State’s achievement of gender parity in politics, comes off as slightly misogynistic in the very last sentence:
Voters, as well as skilled politicians at several levels, understand that men do a very good job at a lot of things and, quite often, women do, too.
It is just you Goldy.
One of the reasons Washington State tends to elect so many women to office in this state is simple.
Western Washington is overwhelmingly liberal.
Liberal males have never been accused of having…balls.
Take yourself for example. Maybe some misogynistic tendancies might enable you to actually lead your household and keep a woman.
Reality Check,
Uh-huh. Except that Goldy didn’t write the post. But…I’m sure he’ll give your advice every picosecond of consideration it deserves.
Daryl,
Thanks for proving my point.
See, you adress an item to a liberal and a woman comes to his defense.
Reality Check apparently lives in a parallel universe. So. we’ll dispense with him.
Regarding the article, what oafishness. Wonder who’s more competent, Condi or Bush? Hard to tell, isn’t it?
Reality check @ 3
What the fuck? Are you still really messed up from last night? Or is your problem congenital?
Dude. He compared you to a woman.
That’s gotta hurt.
That last sentence probably was Frank Blethen’s contribution to the editorial. Sounds like him.
@1 You are an idiot.
@5 Probably has something to do with what species he is. Hard to tell for sure, but I smell a weasel.
@6 Sticks and stones …
@6 (continued) Daryll is supposed to be upset because an unpatriotic, America-hating, troop-despising, troglodyte wingfuck called him a “woman”?
(pause)

Clearly, you know nothing about liberal males.
Wanna get a liberal male upset? Try sending a rightwing death squad after him. Then you’ll see a liberal male get upset — and it’ll be the last thing you ever see.
Wanna know what a “woman” is? I’ll tell you. Jonathan a.k.a. Federal Way Conservative, who thinks anyone who criticizes Bush should be executed, is a “woman” — and so is every other wingnut loudmouth who talks big but does nothing. Not one wingnut shot at me last year … not one! All talk, no balls.
You know what you guys are? I’ll tell you:
1. All hat, no cattle
2. Empty suits
3. All booster, no payload
4. Generators with no gas
5. All foam, no beer
6. Empty boxcars
7. All wick, no candle

Hey Rabbit –
(if you can stop posting for a minute – I know it’s hard; you never had a thought you couldn’t share. However.)

irony
/irni/
• noun (pl. ironies) 1 the expression of meaning through the use of language which normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous effect. 2 a state of affairs that appears perversely contrary to what one expects.
— ORIGIN Greek eironeia ‘simulated ignorance’.
Roger Rabbit Comment: You guys don’t have to simulate ignorance; you do the real thing.
@14 (continued) Here’s an irony for ya: A wingfuck calling himself a “patriot.” That’s almost as funny as a Republican calling himself a “Christian.”
@16
Jesus Christ you are clueless; in love with sound of your keyboard. Get a room, guy.
Darryl,
Don’t know if it’s ‘misogynistic’ necessarily. Though it’s certainly dismissive and patronizing in its praise. Actually rather surprised the Fairview Fannie didn’t come across even more so, considering first Dixy Lee Ray and then Ellen Craswell helped set the regard of women as executive material back a good half-generation in this state.
It is patronizing and condescending, but not much different than the commentary around here. I can tell when my arguments are winning the day because the comments take a very perverted and personal turn. If you can’t argue the facts, throw out insults and invective.
Janet S @ 19,
But…but…but, Janet S…you didn’t make any arugments in this thread prior to comment 19, did you? What the hell are you talking about?
Patriot says: Dude. He compared you to a woman. That’s gotta hurt. 01/01/2007 at 7:12 pm
Don’t worry Patriot, Darryl misses many of life’s subtleties! A swift kick from a 2 ton hippopotamus can’t loosen those synapses!
What does Furball do well except his claim to fuck animals? That takes a sick mind! His legendary barrister enterprise really did him well.
Darryl – don’t act so naive. You read these threads. I was making a general statement about the commenters on this blog, not about this particular entry. I obviously agreed with you that The Times said something pretty silly.
