Domestic violence walk while two more suicides announced

October is domestic violence awareness month and WBCWS began a series of community forums beginnin…

In another embarrassing why didn’t anyone tell me we weren’t using this lie anymore moment Sarah Palin has proven she just isn’t in the loop. First it was Michigan, now it is another discredited story that actually was spoken by none other than President George W Bush.

Say It Ain’t So, Sarah: Palin Smears Obama With Year-Old Discredited Attack
During an appearance on Fox News this Friday, Sarah Palin claimed that Barack Obama should be disqualified from serving as president because he had once proclaimed that troops in Afghanistan were “air raiding villages and killing civilians.”

If the charge seemed oddly and painfully familiar it’s because it has been levied at Obama - and subsequently dismissed - several times before during this election season.

When will she get the picture that she is being set up as the scapegoat for why the Republicans lost this election.  I can see the November 5th headlines, Palin Cost Republicans The Country.  Every two bit misogynistic right winger will be ranting and raving about this.  If it isn’t the guys claiming women are weak and should keep their mouths closed and legs spread, it will be the racists blaming every single mistake she has made.  I can see it now Uncle Bubba and company are sure to say she is the reason a good white man like Johnny can’t beat one of them uppity darkies.

None of those raving lunatics will be right and I will even stand by her and say it wasn’t because she was a woman.  However the people who are cheering her for this because they won’t hear the truth now, won’t hear the truth then either.  In my mind no matter how big of a step forward it was to put a woman as a VP nominee for the good ol’ boy’s party, they have certainly done a disservice in the name of gender equality.

Colleges are finally buckling down and truly going coed. The last big hurdle that many of them jumped was more than quarter century ago with coed dormitory buildings. Now, the first wave of universities are allowing coed dorm rooms for those that want them.

Yes Ladies and Gents, your boys and girls can now share a dorm room once they are away at school. I say, so what. There seems to be a big controversy over this from as you would expect it, parents, but after Yahoo’s morning report bring the story to the forefront we are starting to hear the bullshit rhetoric from unmarried women who just can’t imagine why a woman might want to share a space with a guy she didn’t want to have sex with or why a university would allow it between those who did. Then there is the outrage of those goodly godly types.

My response is, “Get over it!” If the rhetoric you have been feeding your kids about learning life lessons in college is true, living side by side with someone of the opposite sex, whether they are having sex or not, is one of those lessons. Your kids aren’t being forced to share a room with someone they don’t know or didn’t choose.

Could something go wrong if your child doesn’t choose wisely when picking a roommate? Sure, but that can be said of anyone they pick. Women are just as nasty to one another as any guy could be to them. I know you are all going to say your daughter won’t be raped by another woman. Well that does happen, not often, but it does.

Rooming with a woman doesn’t mean she won’t be raped by her roommate’s boyfriend or feel pressured when he brings over a friend of his own. There is also nothing to say just because she rooms with a guy of her choosing they will have sex or he is going to rape her.

Sex happens, rape is about power, and as a parent you are powerless to do anything about it. Also why aren’t you worried about your daughters sharing intimate space with another woman? Oh that is right you are too sure of your own sexuality and how good of a parent you are to believe she might experiment… HA!
