Stop Patriarchy Is Crashing Texas with Its Abortion Freedom Ride, and Local Feminists Are Pissed

I've been working very hard my entire life to become a member of the Patriarchy and now these womyn come to Texas to stand in my way? Dammit!

Sept. 1st, all but 6 abortion clinics in TX set to close - and you are COMPLAINING that people are coming from around the country to fight that? Women are ALREADY self-inducing abortions in Texas and other areas of the US. In Wichita, KS teenage girls with unplanned pregnancy are getting into fist fights to attempt miscarriage, because abortion, and women that get abortions are so stigmatized. Areas of the US are already under the terror of the coat hanger...and overall there is a national abortion rights EMERGENCY. At this time of unparalleled danger to women, if you don't like Stop Patriarchy's program -- what is yours to defeat this war??? More of the same???

@Dallas_Observer Are you going to continue to report on #FuckStopPatriarchy, or will you report on what is happening to women that cannot access legal abortion, and the courts and legislators acting to codify woman-hating laws that criminalize abortion and murder women???

The #FuckStopPatriarchy crowd are the same kind of pearl-clutchers who drove Wilhelm Reich to an early grave. 

Disappointed I am in these comments, especially for a town that saw history's first published use of the phrase "dykes on bikes" (1986 Repub convention). Where's the outrage? Communists? protests? abortion? feminists? the buzzcut chick holding the sign on the left? outsider feminists against our feminists? anybody?

Probably been listening to Abba music and eating jello, I reckon.

Why is it some of these FemiNazi's are so UGLY, that no one would want to reproduce with them in the first place. I dont think there is enough Beer & Wine to get me drunk enough for a few of them.

@comradestrong

You're in high dudgeon, aren't you?

@wcvemail I guess I'm just bored with people like this.  It's all the same whether it's StopPatriarchy, Occupy, or any number of left wing groups.  It's all the same people accentuating a different part of the same agenda.  All too stupid to realize they'll never be taken seriously until they grow up and get real jobs.  Then the next group of college sophomores takes an extended break from school and joins the cause.

@unclescrappy if that tid-bit doesn't help convince people they're wrong, i don't know what will.

@ScottsMerkin What's the reference here?

@TheRuddSki People who use hashtags are Pound People.  They are large in number.

@scottindallas @comradestrong

Yeah, I woulda pointed out that the cadre is seeking to loudly clamor for too-far-for-Texas-at-this-time revolution in repro rights, at the expense of locally knowledgeable and diligently working activists whose cause is set back by such no-consequences extremism. But then she would have sneered at my opinion and the efforts of the people who have to live here year in/year out, so it was easier to try to tweak the comrade into spittle launch.

@wcvemail What is high dudgeon?  Is it a new InnerWeb thang...or a local thang?

@wcvemail  Why aren't you? Isn't this situation for women worth your outrage? And worth fighting against? Why don't you consider the Qs I just posed? They are not rhetorical.

@doublecheese @wcvemail

So no dudgeon at all, then, high or otherwise. Sigh. 

Seriously, there is an interesting, non-same story about the Rev. Comm. Party and the guy Avakian, who are impelling the righteously roused sophomores. SDS remnant+personality cult - that was interesting, at least. 

@ThePosterFormerlyKnownasPaul Tell me please, what part of the abortion rights EMERGENCY is Stop Patriarchy actually wrong about? The facts please, Not the opinions and disagreements that others happen to have about trying to TURN the TIDE in favor of ABORTION on DEMAND and WITHOUT APOLOGY

Andrea Grimes, formerly a DO writer with the handle "Girl on Top," has a tweet quoted.

Also, the "$30K millionaire" thing was a pretty good article by Grimes about Dallas douche-bags that spawned a pretty good continuing theme on UP.

Now you owe me a double cheese burger, and I want extra-sharp cheddar, none of that namby-pamby, artificial "cheese product."

@JackJett @wcvemail

Very local (to me in this blog), Jack, and very old, dating back to the 16th century (neither this blog nor I date back that far, though.) It means "a fit or feeling of indignation or outrage," and for some reason, it's almost always used with "high": "in high dudgeon." I use it to let people self-qualify on this blog, when I can virtually see the saliva froth flying. 

In other words, I'm fucking with outraged people in the hopes of either/both puzzling/further outraging them. 

No problem was ever solved, or even lessened, by froth-flying comments on this blog, especially by those who drop in simply to vent on a single subject, never to be heard from again. So I'm having a bit of fun at their expense. As the English say, I'm taking the piss (not A piss, as we Yanks say.)

Now you got a twofer-one definition. You owe me at least one something. Whatdya got?

@Anna_Merlan_Voice  Full Vaginas is actually my Indian name.

@Anna_Merlan_Voice I hope you're satisfied.

There was a thing in Kansas City called Velveeta Cheese Soup that was tried as a winter lunch dish, and proved so popular that it was imitated across the city that winter several years ago. Bless their hearts.

But if the Revolutionary Communist Party has their way, we won't have the right to Velveeta Cheese Soup! And no subservient women will be making it! (one last, forlorn try at sparking this board, but no, this one is a lost cause for caustic comments.)

@wcvemail @ThePosterFormerlyKnownasPaul I would think that The Velveeta Cheese Soup would be caustic enough, as base as that is.

let women get abortions. they have the right to choose if they want to kill babies. How is it the womans right to choose? They have the right to choose not to have sex. They have the right to choose to use protection. They have the right to choose to use the morning after pill. They have the right to choose to abort up to 8 weeks. Then they have the right to choose to put the baby up for adotion. It sounds like women allready have plenty of choises. Maybe we should make it a crime for women not to choose before a certian time is up. Girls it is time to shit or get off the pot.
