i need to vent and i've no place to do it that won't offend people that i like, i'm sorry to do it here, but it seemed like a place for it. and for the record, i'm a woman.
k, here's the link:

i'm still ticked at these claims of sexism that came from hillary's campaign, and now this women's group with media matters, putting together a video and petition, crying sexism is everywhere in the media. the media isn't being sexist, it's being incredible juvenile, and it's been this way since fox news started doing it and somehow got ratings, now everyone's copying it.
i mean, these vids, they take stuff out of context, they can make anyone sound bad. i still remember when edwards made a critique of hillary, after that disastrous debate where she flip flopped so much, and all these women started crying sexism. boo hoo hoo, the men are ganging up on the women, that's sexist...well, golly gee, being ganged up on by a bunch of men (no puns), isn't that what being president is all about? dealing with a bunch of lying men, trying to take your authority down? those men in congress, the leaders of those freaky counties like iran and north korea...they all lying, right to your face, come on!
why is the media covering hillary's make up or her cleavage? cuz they are **** bastards. no, seriously, they are probably just not getting laid enough. why do you think o'really said all that stuff to his co-worker? all that anger he's got, it's misplaced energy cuz he really just needs to be laid. these other media guys are the same. and you know you need to go and get some when you are looking at hillary clinton's breasts. for ****'s sake, someone get chris matthews a bj, he really must need one.
i mean, can we not talk about hillary's hair? yes, women get a ton of extra notice if one hair is outta place, but that's cuz we look so damn good! i mean, who cares about men's hair, they ugly most of the time and there ain't nothing they can do for it. the exception being john edwards, and damn, you know if his hair went all funny, or if he lost his looks, that would be the end of his political career. i mean, let's face it, if kucinich were that hot, he'd be doing better in these campaigns. looks matter, it's sad but true. should the media be covering it like it's important? probably not as often as they do, but you know, only other topic up for discussion is the fate of the future of the country, and who wants to talk about that?
we can't talk about hillary's clothes either? again, does the media need to be obsessed with it? naw, but really, if edwards had worn something cool and hip and shown a little more chest hair, the media would be screaming
he's gay faster than bush can utter
stay the course. you can't win, can you?
i'm tired of people demanding that i bow down and scream sexism against anyone who doesn't just worship the old feminist cause or their favorite female politician. i was sick and tired too of obama's camp complaining about people being racist every 5 seconds, and i'm kinda glad now it's over with.
and while i'm at it, i'm also sick and tired of people "unabashedly" being pro-choice or pro-life, when they state the same freaking reasons about what they want to see get better for women in this country, and then scream their heads off at me if i disagree. i don't know why we are divided politically when we are asking for much of the same stuff most of the time. the only people who benefit are the politicians, who know that the women of this country will never really get anything for themselves so long as we are divided by the rhetorical politics created and maintained by a bunch of men.
i've more to vent, but i've got to let it go for now, i'm still sick and need to rest, i should be asleep. feel free to say what you like, be mean if you want, i don't care, i'm obviously not able to be clear enough to folks without offending them somehow too. maybe i need to be more clear about things. time for more of that robetussin with codine.
