The House Republican Caucus is requesting the guidance of Americans to help the Republican leadership settle on cuts to make as the House wends its way through the process of proposing a reasonable federal budget. In a program called YouCut, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is asking voters to register their approval of certain already-proposed changes, but also is giving voters the opportunity to "Submit Your Idea." By clicking this button, you can make suggestions of cuts that ought to be made, but may not have been suggested yet.

Several things are necessarily true....

1) Feminism in America could not exist without federal funding. NOBODY cares enough about the serial drivel and prepubescent nonsense engaged in by feminists to actually reach into their wallet and fund it. This is why federal grants - under the rubric of "law enforcement" or "education," for instance - are absolutely vital for keeping feminism alive and viable in the United States.

2) Feminism contributes absolutely nothing positive to the American culture or economy.

3) In fact, feminism actively undermines both the American culture and the economy. Its pro-abortion dogma has eliminated the greatest part of two generations of taxpayers, leaving programs such as Social Security and Medicare in the lurch. Its false allegations industry serves only to tie up courts and law enforcement with meaningless political charges, while actively undermining the one thing that has been proven to protect women and children - the family. Its academic endeavors [sic] are widely recognized as being a pablum only slightly more complex than the normal fare of the retarded. Its legal theories, besides encouraging false allegations of rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment, and abuse, serve only to destroy business, culture, the military, the professions, and the public good by making irrelevancies out to be real issues ("diversity," "sexual harassment," "women's perspective") and by placing, en masse, unqualified people into positions of responsibility based merely upon their gender.

And yet, billions of dollars per year flow from both the federal and state governments to sustain feminist political programs that serve no recognizable public good other than funding lawyers and further feminist programs.

These are the undeniable facts. Feminism helps nothing, hurts everything, and would simply cease to exist if taxpayers were not strongarmed into keeping feminism alive through the distribution of taxes to feminist organizations by governments.

This being the case, it is time for those who stand with unborn children, the family, business, the culture, legitimate education, justice, and legitimate law enforcement to strike while the iron is hot. For the next few years, Congress will (theoretically) be seeking to make all kinds of cuts just to keep the American ship afloat.

It is thus time for the most malignant tumor in the history of the American experiment to be excised.

It is time to totally, completely, and finally DEFUND FEMINISM.

Please surf over to YouCut, and after voting for the various items for which your vote is solicited, find the "SUBMIT YOUR IDEAS" button at the bottom of the page. Then, fill in the dialog box with your request that ALL feminism in the United States be defunded at the federal level.

I wrote the following in my request:

"I would like to request that ALL feminist political organizations and activities, from Planned Parenthood to women's shelters to feminist studies and women's studies programs in universities, be completely defunded by the federal government.

These are wholly destructive organizations which exist only to consume the hard-earned resources of working Americans while undermining the values and culture that is respected by the American majority.

Further, these are political organizations, and cannot and should not be funded by the taxes of those who disagree with their political policies."

Feel free to swipe my note, modify it, or write your own. Or, if you have a flair for the pithy and dramatic, perhaps you will simply write...

"DEFUND FEMINISM."

It is time to draw a line in the sand, and excise the most destructive political movement in the history of the United States. Join me in asking Congress to DEFUND FEMINISM, and please send your friends to this page to join the fight.

Without reading all of what you posted (my time is much more valuable and it takes more time to read that copy/paste), all I can say is that if you destroy feminist funding, you destroy funding of every other group because if one can't have, then no-one can have. The right management position is to downsize which I am sure feminists have felt everywhere. They are going to need to find the extra funding else where and extra research showing how important they are. Just to let you know the system is fucked but that's a long comment to show how.

Oh, for crying out loud - who are you fooling?

Everybody knows you can't read!

Though, note the intellectual complexity of the "julie" in the wild (Genus Mouthrunning Sayingnothingus): apparently it takes longer to READ a comment that is "copied and pasted" than it does to read other types.

Right.

And we let this kind vote?

And if somebody whose opinion mattered suggested that "everyone" be defunded, then I would heartily agree. Inasmuch as it was only you, however....

Thanks whoever you are. It helps heap when you attack fast. Now I know not to bother with you (effort already at a loss)

I would suggest that is an excellent strategy for an intellectual pygmy to follow! I would much prefer that you NOT bother with me, as it simply takes up time that I could otherwise spend with rational folk.

Look with due respect, you didn't actually offer a strategy.

How about this for a strategy....take everything that would normally be considered "charity work", such as DV shelters, homeless shelters, and disaster relief funds and cut the funding out of the federal government that would normally go to the states for such things. Allow the individual communities or communities' neighbors to chip in to a locally funded charity for such things. They would be able to use the money without paying for all the bureaucracy in between....in essence a loaf of bread or a room would not cost 2-3 times as much due to government waste.
We could do this with a wide variety of "gimme" programs...such as grants for college, inconsequential "scientific" studies, and at the same time, cut all the jobs associated with these programs..and place them into the hands of competitive private industries who actually care how their money is spent.
We can start outsourcing more "government" jobs to the private sector as well, working off of a low bid process with a minimum standard of quality requirements and 1-2 year contracts.
We can strip collective bargaining for all public sector unions (even FDR knew it would break the government bank eventually), and if there is resistance, then state and local governments can simply declare bankruptcy and void said contracts.
The whole idea of the government becoming involved in propping up a capitalist economy makes the entire system a farce, and subsidies for markets there are hardly any demands for is proof of that kind of blatant waste and government manipulation. Get rid of subsidies for ethanol and "clean" energy. Allow the private markets to develop new technology according to the amount of demand imposed by market forces, rather than have the government pander to some "eco" lobbying groups who have conveniently bought stock in the solar panel company next door.
Lower the corporate tax rates and keep them low..so that uncertainty leaves the market and the companies will start hiring again. I guarantee that the government will earn more in the long run off income and sales taxes from all those employed individuals.
You want to break the back of feminists..then simply place everything but national defense and a few other national programs into the private sector. Let's see what they say when they beg a company who is interested in the bottom line to fund their wasteful crap.
I'm all for it....

Excellent OP, contrary, spoiled by your unwarranted personal attack on Jools.

Grow up.

You quite rightly give us an avenue to attack the Government's largess. I agree.

Let us do as Contrary suggests.

But let us have less of this reactive childishness against members.

I have no truck with the one called "julie" at any time. I was patient with her foolishness years ago when I first started frequenting this space - I lost patience with her within four or five of her responses and am patient with her no more, and have not been for years. She is a fool and deserves to be treated as one, and will always be treated as one by me.

To treat a fool as a fool is not childishness, any more than to treat a burning building as if it is on fire is childishness. It is the height of adulthood to react to all reality as if it is, indeed, reality. It is the height of maturity to be able to treat people as their own actions demand that they be treated.
