i really don’t know what to say

i have been saying ‘weeping jesus on the cross’ quite a bit- and today was more of an ‘oh my f**king god’ kind of day and there has been a great deal of shaking of my head too. why? you may ask. what’s wrong betmo? that’s where i say- where do i begin? i don’t know if my fingers can type fast enough. i have absolutely almost lost my goddamned mind. deep breath.

i am a woman. i have the boobs and vagina to prove it. trust me. i cannot wrap my mind around how incredibly horribly my gender has represented itself lately. i mean from nancy pelosi to start then on to the spineless, let me join the boys’ club chicks in the congress- to talking heads. omfg!!!! i read a variety of blogs and i believe i have posted before- i read ladies of color and all manners of so-called feminist blogs. i also read plenty of lgbt blogs and blogs by chicks like me- who just want to write. so- i hope i have sufficient information to base my observations. i realize i am rambling- but if i have to read one more time how it’s silda spitzer’s fault- and any woman’s fault- that her husband decided cheat on her- i will punch something. if i have to hear that it’s because she isn’t servicing his needs- i will punch something. if i have to hear one more time- how it’s ok for clinton and ferraro and the entire campaign to be racist and then excuse themselves because they are white women (but not ok for anyone to criticize them because now- that’s misogynist) i think i will punch something.

ladies- why not get the collective heads out of the asses for awhile and get real? ya’ll can’t have it all ways. the clintonistas all claim to be feminists- and yet behave like little victims whenever anyone calls them on anything. the fact is that the feminist movement in this country is alarmingly white. i have heard from more than one source that these little suburban soccer moms who go to the NOW meetings are all willing to include unless you rock their status quo. well, we have seen evidence of that haven’t we? keith olberman misogynst for calling out clinton to repudiate ferraro’s racist statements that she had been all around the news defending? acting like clinton didn’t know and it wasn’t a political ploy. grow up girls- it’s time. get real.

then we have the guilty career women like kern and schlessinger who blame women for being mistreated by men. wtf? my husband and i have a partnership. i imagine most folks do- unless they are rethugs or fundies- or both. i don’t tell my husband what to do and i am fully autonomous. if i don’t want to give it up- guess what? i don’t. hubby doesn’t like it- there’s some vaseline in the bathroom. have at it. get real. these men are adults. it isn’t my ‘duty’ to service my husband- i happen to like him. it isn’t his duty to come home to me every night- he likes me.

the tv personalities aren’t even what makes my blood boil- it’s the minions who are supporting hillary hook, line and sinker and refuse- ala right wing style- to hear anything negative about the clinton campaign. i am not an obama enthusiast. although i don’t know why i continue to make the distinction- it doesn’t matter in the slightest. it will be a cold day in hell before i vote for hillary clinton because of the way she has run her campaign. smart politics- no doubt. but that isn’t what i am looking for in the next president. obama has flaws but he hasn’t played the gender card. he has skewed his mailings and stretched the truth in his ads and debates- but he hasn’t called clinton’s religion into question. get real ladies. you can’t keep playing the misogyny card either. it exists and it is real but you are over playing your hand. keep it going and you may get a ‘snow job special‘.
