Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, June 28, 2009

Roger Cohen: From Day 1, Iran's women stood in the vanguard. Their voices from rooftops were loudest, and their defiance in the streets boldest. Women marched in 1979, too. But when the revolution was won, women were pushed out. Their subjugation became a pillar of the Islamic state. One woman told me that she had been 20 when she fought to oust the shah. "It's simple," she said. "We wanted freedom then, and we don't have it now."

women have been since the days of lystrata.

hey red...

yeah you are right...the only woman other women listen to is michelle all right..

just ask the lady who DARED To question something she did and got canned by her white house staff and now she is a goofer at americorps..

The Women have the power, They need to keep their legs together until they get change. Of course that will not affect the turban headed bastards that pretend to be religious, because they prefer little boys, they can't handle a real woman, so it is either goats, pigs or little boys.

Iranian women are revolting? maybe they should go to match.com and hook up with the patearoits like aflac.

actually if you watched some of the protests before the asshole allytolah cut off all of the clips...
there seemed to be some women on camera that were pretty nice looking if you could see thier faces behind the viels and shit..

again...havent heard much from american women like the NAGS AND others..

OH WiaT>...there was some mention from
LAURA BUSH...who has been in the forefront on women's rights in that area

laura bush has been talking about women's rights in this part of the world for sometime.

I hate to see it framed that way. (1) I have a lot of male friends who get as furious (maybe even more furious) about sexism and discrimination as I do, and in the gender discrimination cases I've seen, there has always been at least one senior woman who was complicit. (2) I don't think "women's rights" should be a "women's issue" any more than I think minority rights are a minority issue -- they're issues for anyone who believes in a just society. (3) I honestly believe that denying choice/ forcing people into rigid gender roles hurts *both* men and women.

If Iranian women are in the vanguard with the loudest voices why is Obama in the back of the bus wimpering like a little girl?

yeah, she and Condom Rice really went after the saudi royals for not letting women vote in municipal elections, didn't they? Wonder how proud they are that the Iraqi theocratic government they helped install treats women worse than that nasty old Saddam did.

One tough cookie.

...ummmm, No they're not.

Now go see which book Oprah! wants you to read this month.

Idiot. No. Stupid fucking idiot.

BL2? Seriously? No way?! Really?

Yeah, that dude has some screws loose and some wires crossed.

Though he does have a point. The majority of Persian women I know are very good looking.

He's just pissed that the only women that pay attention to him are rightwing fanatics with cataracts in both eyes.

I was going to say something like: the only women who "pay attention" to him come by squad car and have billyclubs and walky-talkies attached to their belts, or wear white gowns and are carrying a tray of little paper cups filled with pills, but that works too...

My dentist is a lovely Iranian woman, fresh from dental school. Her dragging those c-cups across my head for an hour made all the dynamiting and drilling she was doing worth the trip.

I'm here to testify that it is indeed possible to have and root canal and think about all the raunchy ways to knock boots with your dentist at the same time. As you would imagine, it depends totally on the dentist.

"You're going to feel a pinch..."
Promises, promises...

What is it that happens to some Retorters' minds when the subject of people from the Middle East comes up? All of a sudden, it's like their imaginations snap into high-gear and we're all treated to their secret fantasies of animal sex projected onto their bete noire, the Muslim.

Most of these people consider themselves to be "Christian", too...as if their preferred fairy-tale is somehow more important than another (Islam)!

Back on topic - not surprising at all that women have been at the forefront. Theocracy hurts everyone, but women get it the worst. (Funny how God - no matter whose it is - always says it's better that way.)

Their courage and conviction are highly admirable - no doubt it would be difficult, if not impossible, to match such dedication to democracy these days here in America.

Iranian men act like they have HUGE testicles, but in fact, they have little tiny ones, it seems.

All talk and no action!

Come on you bastards, this is your chance to take over the next Super Power!

Eddie of course speaks from experience.

It's funny, isn't it? For as much as politicians harp on "freedom" here, most Americans haven't a clue about it. (the politicians have raped the word thoroughly). And here we see thousands of people taking to the streets, demanding something many here have lived their lives taking for granted.

You wouldn't see this in america until after our cherished freedoms had been taken. Up until that point, we would stay on our asses.

Yeah, because Iranians have been free as a bird up until now.

You're a better man than I am, gunga din. Used to have a female dentist, cute but had a huge engagement ring that, even under the rubber glove, was a pain in the face.

Aflac likes the ones with parkinsons, he's getting lazy and likes to just go for the ride....
