Bonecrker #12 - The Most Feminacentrist Statement of the 20th Century

"Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today's warfare victms. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children" -- Hillary Clinton at the First Ladies' Conference on Domestic Violence in San Salvador, El Salvador, November 17, 1998

You dead and maimed guys are so lucky!

This speech is incredibly insidious. On the surface it's about women suffering as the unseen victims of war (the grain of truth to this lie). But there is a hell of alot implied by the way she chose to say it.

1) Absolutely no mention of the men who died or were maimed in this war. The implication is that their suffering is separate from their women and isn't worth mentioning.

2) There is a very strong implication that women had nothing to do with a war. It was a needless thing (caused by the thoughtless actions of men) that harms them. Actually, most wars are fought to protect women. History is one long string of good men sacrificing themselves to protect their women and children from bad people.

3) She mentions refugees as if they are only composed of women.

4) She comes right out and says the women are the primary victims of war. This isn't true. The primary victims of war are all the people killed by bullets, bombs and other horrors. These are mostly men. Not only are women secondary victims of war, but there are a hell of a lot of men and children that are also secondary victims.

5) The only time the loss of men is mentioned is how their deaths affect the women emotionally, and more importantly, financially. The irony is completely lost on her. The women she is speaking to probably care much more that they lost someone they loved rather than someone who took care of them. Obviously, Clinton can't see that. It never occurs to her. I bet more than one woman at the conference had a strange look on her face, thinking, what the heck is this gringa talking about? Why is she talking about unimportant stuff? I lost my husband. I loved him!

Guys, this fool was/is looking to be our next president. If you think laws and politics enable women now, imagine what it would be like after 4 years with her at the helm.

Mother of Calamity – from “The Lamentations of Matheolus", 1295 AD
.
It's true that women are lazy, but they are always ready to do harm. An evil woman just gets worse, becoming even more evil and wicked. It would take far too long for me to tell you everything about them, so for brevity's sake I shan't. Woman is not wise in this respect, for in her eagerness to do harm she only brings about her own ruin. According to the law, as I understand it, woman is not rational, nor does her love reside deep in her heart, but is there on her gaze for everyone to see. She entrusts her honour openly to her eyes, yet they can't help but fail to protect it, since folly animates her gaze. With all her words, her chatter, and her talk, she could break a heart of glass; all her actions are stupid and foolish. Woman can do no good, indeed, goodness is destroyed and obliterated by her. Many a war is begun by women and many a murder committed throughout the world; castles are burned and ransacked and the poor made destitute. As every man and woman knows, there isn't one war in a thousand that isn't started by a woman and by her sowing of discord. She is the mother of all calamities; all evil and all madness stem from her. Her sting is more venomous than a snake's; there isn't anyone who has anything to do with her who doesn't live to regret it.
