Spring Cleaning at No Ma'am
Please excuse the mess at this, the finest blog on the web. I have 3 articles that are 75% finished, but all three are giving me writer's block, so I've decided to call in the No Ma'am maid and do some re-arranging of my quote lists and some general heavy-duty spring cleaning.
Don't worry... she gets paid the minimum wage.

"The plight of mothers is more desperate than that of other women, and the more numerous the children the more hopeless the situation seems to be....

“Women’s revolution is necessarily
situationist: we cannot argue that all will be well when socialists have
succeeded in abolishing private property and restoring public ownership of the
means of production. We cannot wait that long. Women’s liberation, if it
abolishes the patriarchal family, will abolish a necessary substructure of the
authoritarian state, and once that withers away Marx will have come true
willy-nilly, so let’s get on with it.” -- Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch p.368

“The chief thing is to get women to take part in socially productive labor, to liberate them from ‘domestic slavery,’ to free them from their stupefying and humiliating subjugation to the eternal drudgery of the kitchen and the nursery. This struggle will be a long one, and it demands a radical reconstruction, both of social technique and of morale. But it will end in the complete triumph of Communism.” ~ V.I.

"Only an armed people can be the real bulwark of popular liberty." -- V.I. Lenin
.
"...the concentration of capital and the growth of their turnover is radically challenging the significance of the banks. Scattered capitalists are transformed into a single collective capitalist. When carrying the current accounts of a few capitalists, the banks, as it were, transact a purely technical and exclusively auxiliary operation. When, however, these operations grow to enormous dimensions we find that a handful of monopolists control all the operations, both commercial and industrial, of capitalist society. They can, by means of their banking connections." -- V.I. Lenin
.
"...first ascertain exactly the position of the various capitalists, then control them, influence them by restricting or enlarging, facilitating or hindering their credits, and finally they can entirely determine their fate." -- V.I. Lenin

"The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy’s cause, to help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this." V.I. Lenin
.
“We must now say proudly and without any
exaggeration that apart from Soviet Russia, there is not a country in the world
where women enjoy full equality and where women are not placed in the
humiliating position felt particularly in day-to-day family life. This is one of
our first and most important tasks…. Housework is the most unproductive, the
most barbarous and the most arduous work a woman can do. It is exceptionally
petty and does not include anything that would in any way promote the
development of the woman…The building of socialism will begin only when we have
achieved the complete equality of women and when we undertake the new work
together with women who have been emancipated from that petty stultifying,
unproductive work…. We are setting up model institutions, dining-rooms and
nurseries, that will emancipate women from housework…. These institutions that
liberate women from their position as household slaves are springing up where it
is in any way possible.” ~ V.I. Lenin, The Task of the Working Women’s Movement in the Soviet Republic , 1919.

"Man-hating is everywhere, but everywhere it is twisted and transformed, disguised, tranquilized, and qualified. It coexists, never peacefully, with the love, desire, respect, and need women also feel for men. Always man-hating is shadowed by its milder, more diplomatic and doubtful twin, ambivalence." -- Judith Levine; Authoress
."Men's sexuality is mean and violent, and men so powerful that they can 'reach WITHIN women to fuck/construct us from the inside out.' Satan-like, men possess women, making their wicked fantasies and desires women's own. A woman who has sex with a man, therefore, does so against her will, 'even if she does not feel forced.' -- Judith Levine, (explicating comment profiling prevailing misandry.)
.
"I feel what they feel: man-hating, that volatile admixture of pity, contempt, disgust, envy, alienation, fear, and rage at men. It is hatred not only for the anonymous man who makes sucking noises on the street, not only for the rapist or the judge who acquits him, but for what the Greeks called philo-aphilos, 'hate in love,' for the men women share their lives with--husbands, lovers, friends, fathers, brothers, sons, coworkers." -- Judith Levine, Authoress of My Enemy, My love
.
.
"There are no boundaries between affectionate sex and slavery in (the male) world. Distinctions between pleasure and danger are academic; the dirty-laundrylist of 'sex acts'...includes rape, foot binding, fellatio, intercourse, auto eroticism, incest, anal intercourse, use and production of pornography, cunnilingus, sexual harassment, and murder." -- Judith Levine; summarizing comment on the WAS document, (A southern Women's Writing Collective: Women Against Sex.)

Book: Sex, Lies and Feminism - by Peter Zohrab

.
.
Daly refused to admit male students to any of her classes at Boston College on the grounds that their presence inhibited class discussion. According to Daly, Women's Studies classes with men in them become "dumbed down."
.
Boston College consistently reprimanded Daly, claiming that her actions were in violation of title IX of federal law requiring the College to ensure that no person was excluded from an education program on the basis of sex, and of the University's own non-discrimination policy insisting that all courses be open to both male and female students.

.
In 1998, a discrimination claim against the college by two male students was backed by the Center for Individual Rights, a conservative advocacy group. Following further reprimand, Daly absented herself from classes rather than admit the male students.[1] Boston college removed her tenure rights, citing a verbal agreement by Daly to retire. She brought suit against the College disputing violation of her tenure rights and claiming she was forced out against her will, but her request for injunction was denied by Middlesex Superior Court, Judge Martha Sosman.[2]

An out-of-court settlement was reached in which Daly agreed that she had retired from her faculty position.[3] However, Daly maintains that Boston College had wronged her students by depriving her of her right to teach freely.[4] She documented her account of the events in the 2006 book Amazon Grace.

"The institution of marriage is the chief vehicle for the perpetuation of the oppression of women; it is through the role of wife that the subjugation of women is maintained. In a very real way the role of wife has been the genesis of women's rebellion throughout history." -- Marlene Dixon, "Why Women's Liberation? Racism and Male Supremacy"

"How will the family unit be destroyed? ... the demand alone will throw the whole ideology of the family into question, so that women can begin establishing a community of work with each other and we can fight collectively. Women will feel freer to leave their husbands and become economically independent, either through a job or welfare." -- From Female Liberation by Roxanne Dunbar

Intersting note: this famous quote comes from Irina Dunn, an Australian journalist who coined it in 1970. But the most interesting thing is, Mzzzz Dunn stole this quote from a philosopher who said, "Man needs God like a fish needs a bicycle." .

"...the prisons for women are our homes. We live under martial law. We live in places in which a rape culture exists. That is a women's home, where she lives. Men have to be sent to prison, to live in a culture that is as rapist as the normal home in North America. We live under what amounts to a military curfew. Enforced by rapists. And we say usually that we're free citizens in a free society. We lie. We lie, we lie everyday about it... We live in a police state where every man is deputized. . . . In the United States, violence against women is a major pastime. It is a sport. It is an amusement. It is a mainstream cultural entertainment. And it is real. It is pervasive. It is epidemic.

"This violence is always accompanied by cultural assault -- propaganda disguised as principle or knowledge. The purity of the 'Aryan' or Caucasian race is a favorite principle.

These eloquent and resourceful proofs are classified as psychology, theology, economics, philosophy, history, sociology, the so-called science of biology. Sometimes, often, they are made into stories or poems and called art. Degradation is dignified as biological, economic, or historical necessity; or as the logical consequence of the repulsive traits or inherent limitations of the ones degraded. Out on the streets, the propaganda takes a more vulgar form. Signs read 'Whites Only' or 'Jews and Dogs Not Allowed.' Hisses of kike, nigger, queer, and pussy fill the air. In this propaganda, the victim is marked. In this propaganda, the victim is targeted. This propaganda is the glove that covers the fist in any reign of terror.

The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only of reactionary classes and dynasties, but also of entire reactionary peoples.

“Being queer is more than setting up house, sleeping with a person of the same gender, and seeking state approval for doing so. … Being queer means pushing the parameters of sex, sexuality, and family, and in the process, transforming the very fabric of society. … As a lesbian, I am fundamentally different from non-lesbian women. …In arguing for the right to legal marriage, lesbians and gay men would be forced to claim that we are just like heterosexual couples, have the same goals and purposes, and vow to structure our lives similarly. … We must keep our eyes on the goals of providing true alternatives to marriage and of radically reordering society's view of reality.” -- Paula Ettelbrick, “Since When Is Marriage a Path to Liberation?”, in William Rubenstein, ed., Lesbians, Gay Men and the Law (New York: The New Press, 1993), pp. 401-405.

The Tyranny of Tolerance - by Robert H. Dierker
I found this while over at MRA Revolutionary's Blog. http://mamonaku187.blogspot.com/
I had heard of the book & of Robert Dierker, but I had never read any of it yet.
Excerpt:
• Why do the courts claim the power to tax us?
• Why is a Christian fired when he voices opposition to his employer’s favoring homosexuals?
• Why are airline pilots sued and sent to “diversity training” for recommending that suspicious-looking people of Middle Eastern appearance be kept off planes?
• Why does a judge who defends a monument to the Ten Commandments in a courthouse lose his job?
• Why are speech codes imposed on employers, university students, lawyers (and judges!), while “artistic” indecency is protected from even the mildest regulation?
• Why are peaceful abortion protesters thrown in jail, their right to free speech crushed?
• Why are white and Asian students denied admission to colleges and universities in the name of “diversity”?
• Why is an enemy fighter captured in Afghanistan granted access to U.S. federal courts, overturning judicial precedent safeguarding the president’s wartime powers—to say nothing of common sense?

• Why is a Christian fired when he voices opposition to his employer’s favoring homosexuals?
• Why are airline pilots sued and sent to “diversity training” for recommending that suspicious-looking people of Middle Eastern appearance be kept off planes?
• Why does a judge who defends a monument to the Ten Commandments in a courthouse lose his job?
• Why are speech codes imposed on employers, university students, lawyers (and judges!), while “artistic” indecency is protected from even the mildest regulation?
• Why are peaceful abortion protesters thrown in jail, their right to free speech crushed?
• Why are white and Asian students denied admission to colleges and universities in the name of “diversity”?
• Why is an enemy fighter captured in Afghanistan granted access to U.S. federal courts, overturning judicial precedent safeguarding the president’s wartime powers—to say nothing of common sense?

Wow! I think this guy is even more pissed off about this nonsense than I am!
But then again, we should all be furious that bullshit like this has been happening right under our noses:

A Nation of Frogs
This piece is well worth the read... what else are you going to do? Watch some man-hatred on TV?
A Nation of Frogs - by William Borst, Ph. D. American History

------------------------------------------------------------------------As the great philosopher Rob Fedders sees it, the real enemies we face are in ideas.
1 - The Personal is the Political
2 - The Truth is Relative
How different would the world be without these ideas?

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world in different ways. The point, however, is to change it." -- Karl Marx

How's this for a philosophy to change the world?
Television is the real opiate of the people.

Useful Idiot Quote of the Day: ?...??...???
Qu'est-ce qui se passe? I maintain that if I don't get at least one insulting comment per day that I am just not doing my job.
I apologize. I will have to pick it up a notch.
Sorry, dear readers, but for today you will have to settle for me plucking one out of thin air.
Therefore, I bring to you...
The Useful Idiot Quote of All Time:
Maxine Waters, Democrat, US House of Representatives, said:
"I HAVE TO MARCH BECAUSE MY MOTHER COULD NOT HAVE AN ABORTION!"
http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/roberts/040506
Oh, but that's not all... this Useful Idiot is full of great quotes, as most politicians are. Here are a few more:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxine_Waters
"The objection is in writing, and I don't care that it isn't signed by a member of the Senate." (December 2000, on her objection to the Presidential Election in 2000), to which Al Gore responded "The chair would advise that the rules do care."
"George W Bush, go to hell! And while you’re at it, we want you to take Ashcroft with you. And don’t forget Rumsfeld. And please carry along Condi Rice. . . I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion." (at the televised March for Women's Lives march, Washington D.C., April 24, 2005) [1]
"I don't see white police officers slamming the heads of little white boys into police cars."[10]
(And of course, as usual):
Alleged Corruption
In January 2006, Waters was named as one of the twenty most corrupt members of Congress in the Beyond Delay report[8], commissioned by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The report accused the Congress member of abusing her position for the benefit of her family. Her family members earned more than $1 million through business deals involving companies she had been in direct connection.[9]

Aha, but you think we are done?
Oh no, there is more. Mzzzz Waters, a public servant and pronounced feminist goes above and beyond with her determination to fully earn her wages, as is illustrated with her help in the feminization of Title IX.
Maxine Waters is referenced on page 10 of this PDF from the IWF in regard to her flouting of the Quie Amendment, attached by Congress to Title IX. The Quie Amendment expressely forbade the use of Gender Quotas in regard to Title IX. (Also described on page 10)
From: Time Out For Fairness (Women For Title IX Reform) - from the Independent Women's Forum (PDF)
http://www.iwf.org/pdf/fairness.pdf
"...a legislative markup in 1997 changed everything. During a House Subcommittee debate over the legislative intentions of Title IX, Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) rejected Representative Charles Canady's (R-FL) reminder of the Quie Amendment, declaring, "Title IX is the biggest quota you've ever seen. It is fifty-fifty. It is a big round quota." Her statement was a big harbinger of future judicial opinions that would change the course of Title IX significantly."

Little people like this pose a threat to feminism:
An 11-week old fetus that likely would have had something more intelligent to contribute to the world than Mzzzz. Waters.
