Frames'RThem
Antonia Zerbias fisked the crap out some really craptacular crappimatronic codswallop recently.
Essentially, she called out a couple of would-be meme-makers who want to marginalize all women who actually work to make a difference through their words, deeds and actions instead of.....ummmmmmm.....shopping.
Or some such crap.
Here's just a taste of the fabulous Ms. Z's work (she's in bold; codswallop's in italics):
I cut'n'paste. You decide.
"Right-wing women rock.
Not for us the sturdy, honest calves of the New Democrat/Green Party female, honed on eco-tourist rainforest hikes. Those legs are often on unfortunate display, extending from a knee-length tweed skirt as hairy as the legs themselves, and end in a pair of Birkenstocks."
Because, you know, left-women have never heard of wax.
"I have yet to see a pair of Birkenstock women's shoes that didn't look like part of the required uniform for police SWAT teams.
The primary reason our womenfolk are at war with the looming spectre of the nanny state is because you can't buy Jimmy Choos in a socialist paradise...."
Oh really? Have you been off the ranch and in downtown Toronto recently?
"The only sensible footwear you'll find in a right-wing woman's closet are the Nike cross-trainers that go with her gym membership....."
And Robertson (Calgary Sun Columnist Ian) Robinson knows this because ... he is in closets a lot?
Why does calling out this kind of stuff matter?
Because it is important to realize that the Codswallopinarianists are now attempting to do what the Atwater/Ailes/Rove Axis-of-Evil-BoWeevils once did to Kansas, using exactly the same framing strategies, to an entire gender.
Which is to bamboozle them into working and voting against their own best interests.
You think I'm joking and/or wrong about this?
Well.....
If that's the case, please explain the Axis of Evil-BoWeevil-driven ascent of this.
OK?
