Mike Pence! Aww, here ya go, you walking meatsack of sexism and hate:
…Naturally, he’s being honored with a “Working for Women” award by the “Independent Women’s Forum,” a conservative non-profit for which Kellyanne Conway is a board member. Ah, it all makes sense now.
A press release sent to the Cut describes the…honor…thusly:
“The award recognizes an individual who values free markets, works to create a more dynamic and innovative work world, and celebrates the valuable contributions women make to society.”
According to its website, the mission of the IWF is to “improve the lives of Americans by increasing the number of women who value free markets and personal liberty.” Just to be clear, an award from a group that celebrates “personal liberty” is going to a man who is working feverishly to curtail the rights of women to control their own bodies. This is like giving Idi Amin a Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian efforts.
Jesus Christ. Every time I think they just really couldn’t sink any lower, they manage it. Pence is someone who has spent his whole career trying to destroy women. He certainly has no use at all for them as actual autonomous, thinking human beings. Of course, this “award” is coming from a group which does not view other women as full human beings either. It scares me to think of the near to insane level of cognitive dissonance ringing in the brains of women like Carrie Lukas and Kellyanne Conway. That might explain the inability to actually think, that ringing has got to be awfully loud.
Via Jezebel.
To be fair, actual awards for (actually) promoting women’s rights are usually given out by organisations that have been overrun by those dreaded liberals and social justice warriors. They tend to have unattainably high standards. So if you want an award like that you can either make real contributions or just make up your own. The latter is a much more comfortable option when your worldview is based on ‘alternative facts’ and dreamy memories of fifty years ago. Whether your award is a home-printed sheet of paper with spelling errors or a gilded trophy awarded at a ceremony with a posh dinner is just a question of how much money you and your buddies are willing (and able) to burn for conservative ego boosts.
Ahahaha they’re sooooo concerned with the wellbeing of women that women made third place -- of three -- on their list.
It might actually be fourth place for the women if you parse that sentence to mean “works to create a more dynamic world AND a more innovative work world.” Whatever those might be in their crabbed, miserable and hateful minds.
It’s a cookbook.
The key word here is ‘value’, as in ‘women should value these things in men but not require them for themselves. Contradiction evaded!
(I don’t know if you’re right, chigau, but I’m pretty sure that’s a meal I don’t want to eat!)
The fuck.
Slavery: Improving the lives of Americans by increasing the number of black people who value agriculture and masonry.
I’m pretty sure you don’t need me to decode what “the valuable contributions women make to society” really means… It means “babies”.
Dunc. Seriously? Just ‘babies’? Whatabout all them sammiches??
What do you think the babies are for?
Or actually, speculating about this lot, the male babies.

That’s what the placentas are for.
