Just like you say, Gryphen, rape is a crime of control and humiliation and it has been used against women onsidered "inferior" by the assailants. It is a hostile and degrading act of violence that uses sex as the means of inflicting trauma.<br /><br />Every day, these RWNJ's prove over and over again that they are emotional robots without empathy for others. Regardless of another woman's political leanings, or even a man's, I would never wish this kind of ugliness on another human being. The problem with those goons is not that they are Muslim, but that they are misogynists. I read an article in my newspaper that cited sexual harassment as a huge problem for Egyptian woman, which is a reflection of how women are viewed. But that has happened in societies of all faiths, including Christian ones.<br /><br />I can only hope, with all we are seeing from the RWNJ's, that people either vote them out of office or keep them from obtaining political offices. And women like Schussel, Coulter, Bruce, Palin, and Malkin should be ostracized because of their toxic views about their own sex, as well as about other issues.Anne In DCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-58651270248228448062011-02-17T08:42:45.919-09:002011-02-17T08:42:45.919-09:00"And she should have known what Islam is all ...<i>"And she should have known what Islam is all about."</i><br /><br />So, what's Schlussel's point? White men in the USA don't commit rape? If she thinks she's making a case against Islam, I think she'd better do a bit of Googling. I've read many cases where fundamental Christian parents murder their children because the Devil made them do it.

She came off as a man-hating, woman hating shrew. She proclaimed that she was an extremely conservative Jew. She also slipped/admitted that she was still a virgin. That was several years ago. I believe she stopped calling in when Howard challenged her too many times. At the time, it was funny - in the same way that "Daniel Carver of the KKK" was - another regular caller. Both gave people a look at the warped thinking of an extremist. It is no longer any source of amusement to hear the likes of Debby Schussel.

I agree completely. For instance, a white Christian male executive who behind closed doors escalates to profound sexual humiliation and degradation and physical battering then mentally terrorizes "loved ones" his victim is deranged lying he did not commit his actions.<br /><br />People need to blame the victims or even offload inhumane atrocities only happen withTHOSE kinds....and someone ASKED for it to construct a false bubble of safety it could not happen to them. Anyone who believes a rapist or abuser will stop at the word NO or standing up to them. Does not comprehend the perverted mind set of pathological disturbed personalities.<br /><br />It is bull shit to point fingers at another culture while doing nothing or giving a pass to American males/females too or blaming them so people can put blinders on even when their neighbor exacts a reign of terror. Just ostracize the victims enabling the predator to escalate.<br /><br />It is just not done in the open here but not much difference to subjugate, dominate, supress to force servitude and objectify women and girls sabotaging their success or sabotaging obtaining education. Or to intimidate and issue threats of violence to isolate the victim or punish them for socializing to achieve conditions of captivity.<br /><br />Shussler needs a reality check.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-88835329482521088532011-02-17T06:03:35.736-09:002011-02-17T06:03:35.736-09:00Hey A-hole @11:10 p.m. Rosen (and his boss who ac...Hey A-hole @11:10 p.m. Rosen (and his boss who accepted his resignation) came out and publicly apologized.

We also have a president that legitimizes much of the rightwing in various ways, to my disappointment. <br /><br />Long story short, there need to be a lot more of us protesting in Wisconsin and in the days ahead.

But first l...My take on this is a little different. But first let me start by saying that Schussel is a revolting, opportunistic fucktard. Seriously. <br />But her reaction is predictable. Right wingers are so quick to forget what Christians did on the crusades, or what they did to women accused of witches, of what they're still doing to women and children in foreign lands when they (we) invade.<br />But now the rape of this journalist will be held up as an example of Mideast savagery. And the sad fact is that this was preventable.<br />I want to hear the news as much as anyone else does. But I think it is another example of our American Arrogance the way the US media insinuates itself into the story. Was it really necessary for journalists to be in the square during a frenzied protest? I think we know it is not. We can tell the story from a safer vantage point. But somewhere along the way in our culture, journalism became hybridized with reality television. Journalists are no longer reporting the news, they're becoming part of it. They are rushing to identify with protestors in foreign lands, rushing to make their experience OUR experience.<br />But it's not our experience and when reporters start to get whacked upside the head like Anderson Cooper or raped like Lara Logan I think that's a good indication that the journalists who think they'll be loved and embraced as parties to the cause they're covering are not exactly welcome.<br />I feel terribly for Lara Logan. But I also feel terribly for the co-workers who were unable to do what they never have should have been asked to do: protect a woman in a mob of frenzied men. She'll carry the scars of her attack the rest of her life. Her co-workers will carry the guilt.<br />And it was all avoidable.<br />Unfortunately, CNN, FOX, MSNBC and the big three networks are turning news into another form of American entertainment. But this isn't a reality show, people. It's real lives and our desire to feel like we're on the ground is not worth the risk people are taking to give us that perspective. <br />I find myself reminded of Maximus' cry in "Gladiator." -ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???Morganhttp://onehippiesopinion.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-24949712379855488452011-02-17T05:26:50.616-09:002011-02-17T05:26:50.616-09:00Actually, her own words reveal how much she has in...Actually, her own words reveal how much she has in common with the rapists. But then, how else should we expect these monsters to respond? Let's just stop calling it unbelievable. They are monsters. This is how monsters talk. Honestly, the sooner we start identifying what these rightwing barbarians are, the better. I am not wasting time anymore with BS like "Well, both sides do it..."<br /><br />I actually believe that millions of Americans are in danger if these monsters get too much more power. We're going to have to stand up to them. Our president and Democratic legislators are in a bubble.

Harassing women IS a part of Egy...Well, yes and no. Harassing women IS a part of Egyptian culture. <br /><br />I read a travel article written a woman a little over a year ago. She had gone to Egypt on holiday with a female friend. She said they were constantly harassed---and they covered. They were not walking around with short sleeves or their hair blowing in the wind. Her friend was a particular target because she was fair. They were continually pestered, even when told "No!" One ferry driver actually "stole" a kiss. This woman did not recommend traveling to Egypt without a male companion. Women without men are very vulnerable there. <br /><br />Of course, this situation is slightly different because it was a mod and spirits were high, aggravating the situation. But I wasn't surprised to hear about it after reading that article. <br /><br />It would be wrong to say Islam condones such activity, but it wouldn't be wrong to say the culture leaves women very vulnerable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-27387763791488136792011-02-17T04:33:31.584-09:002011-02-17T04:33:31.584-09:00Those men attacked simply because the anonymity of...Those men attacked simply because the anonymity of the mob mentality allowed them to do so.<br /><br />Schussel is ignorant and disgusting, and is the moral equivalent of one of those mob rapists.<br /><br />Prayers to Ms. Logan.

On the one hand you assert it's not about sex, and on the other you said that religion is designed to hold back man from their "base" instincts, like rape. Which is it?<br /><br />Look, I'm a flaming liberal but I refuse to defend the fundamentalism of Islam. In fact, why should I? Liberalism is the opposite of Fundamentalism, in ANY country. And no, this kind of thing is NOT going on in Tibet or Israel, as you compare it to. Lara suffered an attack just the same as the women of Egypt have been experiencing, only in a very public and acute way. It's an attempt by fundamentalist islamists to control and intimidate women through beatings, sexual abuse and arcane laws, and it didn't just start a week ago.
