There's a huge part of me that didn't want to write this at all, but then I said to myself, "Self…this is what you do for a living now. You inform the people of the wack that goes on in this world, and you try to make it better in your little corner of said world."
Sometimes I wonder, though, y'all. I really wonder about people. I mean, why on God's green earth would someone – some chick named Valerie – take the time to write an entire diatribe about how pretty much all religion centers around rape – and then draw a correlation to religious rape and rapes on campuses across the country? Why would she do that unless she had some personal vendetta against religion? I mean, what did religion do to HER? More specifically, what did Christmas do to her? Because the timing of this diatribe is SO Salon.suck.
Alas, though, it's a free country, and I suppose they can write whatever the heck they want. But I can also mock whatever I want.
America.
If you read the article cited above over there at Salon.suck (you can also just take my word for it), you'll find that besides wanting to stab yourself in the eyes with two giant forks, the author found it in her bleeding heart to write one freaking sentence about the Islamic state and how they've outlined "rules for the treatment of sexual slaves, rules drawn from the Koran." ONE. She does that in between an entire bloated, migraine-inducing thesis from hell devoted to how awful every other religion is when it comes to rape and violence. Yeah. She gives Islamic rapey dudes ONE SENTENCE and you just read it above in quotation marks. That's it, folks. Nothing to see here. I guess Islamic dudes aren't so rapey in comparison to all the other rapey dudes. Then she saves the rest of her vitriol for everyone else – who, you guessed it – are mostly Christians. Because at the end of the day, chick obviously has an issue with white Christian dudes (don't all feminists these days?) and is trying to somehow draw a correlation between religion and campus rape, which is what she does in her final paragraph. Conveeeeeenient.
She says this about those rapey Christians: "…closer to home for most Americans is the awkward but widespread existence of Christian leaders who teach that a woman’s glory is in childbearing, and that a woman who fails to service her husband whenever he desires is failing to serve God…"
I suppose the venom towards Christianity right around Christmas could best be explained with the same reasoning Salon.suck would publish an anti-military piece right before Veterans Day. They're pretty miserable over there at Salon.suck, and I sometimes even find myself feeling sorry for the folks that contribute to them because of that.
Sometimes.
Most of the time I just think that the author and her hairy-armpitted feminist friends should really be spending their time doing super important feminist work, like making sure "manspreading" doesn't get out of control on our subways (THE HORROR). No really. This is what angry women are doing now. Women are harrassing men to CLOSE THEIR LEGS on subways. Perhaps we should just cut their balls off while we're at it, huh ladies?
Manspreading totally sounds like something Malala Yousafzai would be a part of, doesn't it? I smell a Nobel Peace Prize coming!
Anywho – back to what the harpies have to say about religion. If you read none of the above and skimmed all of this, according to feminists that have way too much time on their hands, Mary was raped, everyone. So, Merry Christmas, y'all! And I'm sure that the feminists and Salon.suck hope you have a lovely time at your Christian celebrations this evening and tomorrow with your families!
Just kidding. They don't. They hope that you are miserable just like them.
Because nothing says liberal tolerance and compassion and hippie-dippie leftist love like a little religion-bashing at the holidays.
And they call religious people hypocrites. That's rich, isn't it?
