Often, the elites (the state, pressure groups and the media - especially the BBC) act with incredulity when anyone claims that there are strains of feminism (link) that are really about men-hating and demanding more rights for women than men. Anyone making this argument is normally shouted down under a barrage of abuse and warped statistics, it's like being in a 1980's student union meeting.
Well the cat is well and truly out of the bag now.
Oprah Winfrey, the US TV presenter, has been bombarded with messages by US men-haters solely because she believes Barack Obama would be a better President than Hilary Clinton. Such is the spite that she has been classed a traitor.
To quote the story in The Times (link) "It started with a message on her website entitled “Oprah is a traitor” and rapidly expanded to include several discussions that attracted hundreds of comments.
In the original post, a reader called austaz68 said she “cannot believe that women all over this country are not up in arms over Oprah’s backing of Obama. For the first time in history we actually have a shot at putting a woman in the White House and Oprah backs the black MAN. She’s choosing her race over her gender.” An interesting on-line debate also ensued in The Times.
Now if feminist fundamentalists truly believed in equality and meritocracy, then the gender and race of the next President would be irrelevant, it is the best person for the job.I am sure Oprah is backing Obama because she feels he is the best person.
The feminist fundamentalists just want a woman, full stop. No matter whether she is the best or not. They want special treatment and special favours and play the gender card at every turn. They and their ilk have been exposed, they are men-haters.
Will it cross the Atlantic? Well in many respects it already has, but not to this level. As covered on this site previously (link), The Fawcett Society, The Commission of Equality and Human Rights and the two main political parties believe in promoting women over men in politics solely on the basis of gender, not their ability.
