Misogynists say the darndest things, don’t they? And by “the dardnest things”, we mean “the most rage-inducing things that make you wish you had the crafty Rube Goldberg-esque skills of a young Kevin McCallister and the home address of every He-Man Woman Hater in the world so that you could reap revenge for womynkind while maintaining your manicure.” Oh, this year there was many a white man shaking his jowls over what womankind is up to these days. But who succeeded in saying the most deluded, most ignorant, most misogynistic remark of 2012? Check out our list of the top ten worst sexist remarks of the year.
So, are the statistics as Glenn Grothman described them?

How is what Romney said any different than, say, a woman going to some “INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S FORUM” (very communistic sounding) such as the author of the blog before this one?

Yes, they have tried to quietly back off the notion that there is a gap between men and women doing the SAME JOB (actually, women get paid MORE for that.) No, they just want to compare the two groups as a whole. Nevermind that men work more dangerous jobs and die at workplaces at a higher rate…..no calls to correct THAT gap….

What Rick says is correct, too. In fact, it is expected with “women and children first.” You can’t have it both ways.

I’m not sure I agree with Donald Trump being so high up the list…if Alred hadn’t mentioned his junk, then he probably wouldn’t have either. She opened the door, he stepped through, yes, but I think that makes him only slightly more out of line.

Interesting … the only sexist comments making this list are made by men. I guess male bashing is a figment of my imagination.
bvicente
They are. But it doesn’t support the extreme feminist position to point out that a.) only women can have babies; b.) some very talented women may choose to leave their professions temporarily to give birth to, and raise, children, thus halting their careers and causing them to have to start over. c.) and while these women have voluntarily withdrawn from their careers to raise children, their male counterparts never left, and thus continued their career trajectories AND the income increases. For his comments to be sexist would be to create situation unfairly favorable to women. They could have their cake and eat it to, but not men.
And guys, if we have the temerity to even point this out, we’re sexist.

This is weak.. Romney’s binder comment actually makes the list? You didn’t even include some of Santorum’s finest work.

and pretty much every TV program. Heck, I’d put this particular article in a top-10 list of the most sexist comments of 2012.

A lot of times, comments are just misunderstood, and you just have to pat them on the noggin and tell them not to worry their pretty little heads about it.

See, women would really like to be doing woman type things, like gossiping and windowshopping and not get into any deep discussions.

Am I missing something here or are you actually saying Rick Santorum claiming women should be responsible for men’s supposed inability to control themselves (insulting to men as well, I would think), is “correct?”
http://www.facebook.com/bruce.kennedy3 Bruce Kennedy
While truly disturbing and unacceptable, I doubt seriously either of those comments surpass the ignorance of the top ten quotes listed. Although each of those comments are definitely ignorant, suggesting a woman should be “raped” is truly the most disgusting and disturbing assertion that could ever be made.
I completely agree ignorant comments come from both sides of the political spectrum and neither side is exempt, because the problem is with “males” not political parties. I am just as guilty as any other male when it comes to saying insensitive things. I mean no malice, but because I am male I am prone to be less sensitive on this subject. Take for instance the first quote in this article…”Binder? I just met her”. Although terribly insensitive, it is also very funny. So I am no better than any other male. I’m just more aware that these things should not be said and so I refrain from saying them and I certainly don’t believe anything these idiots, mentioned in the article, espouse. They go beyond insensitive they enter the world of ignorant and dangerous.

That a woman shouldn’t be forced to “start over” what might be a decades-long career because she needs some time off to prepare and care for her child is supposedly an “extreme” feminist position? Hardly. Temporary maternity leave is the norm in modern workplaces, and from what I’ve seen, employers are glad not to have to waste the talent. Seems the main problem for you is that times have changed.
Most people (male and female) nowadays would be appalled at the idea that a woman should have to choose between family and career, because biology doesn’t dictate how businesses are run. That’s a cultural outlook, not a rule of life.
bvicente
Please educate us all, then: A man spends 40 years working at his craft, without let up, developing his skillset and contacts as he goes, whereas a woman who starts in the same position spends 25 years, with multi-year breaks to raise children.
Do you honestly want to state that after his 40 years and her 25 years, they both should be making the same amount of money?
Most women don’t even buy off on that argument. It’s fundamentally flawed.
You’d feel differently if you were the guy who was turned down for a promotion in favor of a woman who wasn’t as loyal to the corporation as you were, and was much less experienced.

Katrina…for two straight months…lede story<–That is NOT misspelled by the way…….every evening newscast on NBC/CBS/ABC was how Bush and Brown were fucking up the world because two months later, there were still thousands homeless, thousands without electricity, and thousands who still hadn’t gotten assistance rebuilding their property…And of course, it was all because the majority of the victims were black…and the President was white and republican. Skip to 2012…Hurricane Sandy…
Almost three months later….thousands still homeless…thousands still with no electricity, thousands still not gotten assistance getting started rebuilding their homes… If you don’t live there..you don’t hear about it (or you still have a lot of friends and family back there you talk to every day)…and why don’t you hear about it? The media who worked their asses off to help get your messiah reelected will not put those stories out…because the only story they have there is… Just like Bush and Brown….Obama is fuckin the dog on helping hurricane victims…it can only be because the victims are white and the president is a black democrat….can’t put anything out that that would cast the messiah in a bad light.
Any coverage of the Bengazhi massacre?
Let’s see….4 people, on real time video, asking for assistance because they’re getting their asses royally kicked…..Obama’s response? Leave town, go to Las Vegas and party with Beyonce while four people he could have saved, die…CONGRATULATIONS! Elections have consequences and I hope you enjoy them.

Please. At least be intellectually honest here. Few people fall for such straw man arguments, unless they’re just looking to confirm what they want to believe. But there’s no need to limit your thinking in such a way, and stay so attached to such victimhood fantasies.
Nobody I’ve heard of is arguing that anybody (male or female) should as a rule be paid an equal amount for 25 years of work to someone else’s 40. That is just patently ridiculous. The idea here is that a woman taking a relatively short leave of absence (just as a man might do to take care of a sick loved one, to recover from injury, or what-have-you), generally carefully planned and accounted for, should not, upon her return, be stuck back at an entry level position at an entry level of pay. Rather she might be at a slightly different position if the company adjusted to have someone take her earlier place (depends on the industry), but she would generally start off at the same level of pay as when she left.
I really don’t see what’s supposedly so unfair about that. It’s not like the experience she’d gained over her time there suddenly evaporates because she’s had a child. Rather, your idea that a woman having a child is “disloyal” to her employer is kind of disturbing. For the most part, modern employers want their employees to lead happy, healthy lives. They also want the best talent they can possibly have. Cutting out 50% of it is not in their best interests.
Actually I say 50% there as an example, but I’ve been a part of a large workplace where *most* of the managers were female. Before you jump to conclusions again, they were hired/promoted for no other reason than because they were highly competent, and actively engaged and invested in the company’s success, as well as the advancement of their own careers. For whatever reason, perhaps the industry (customer service), many of the men just weren’t. Permanently losing such driven employees one after the other for the grand offence of *gasp!* having a family would probably hurt the company more than it hurt them. So would hiring/promoting lacklustre, disinterested men.
It doesn’t need to be that way. Companies do *better* by keeping *all* their talent, just as whole nations do better economically, in (large) part by how equally women are treated.
Finally, I’ve thought a *lot* about hiring equity issues and have been on the fence, leaning against such “quotas,” as you put them, for some time. But not for the same reason as you. Only because I think the focus should be shifted to assisting all individuals of disadvantaged backgrounds. Few of them will tend to be white, but that gap is gradually shrinking. The problem is how to do so effectively.
bvicente
In the scenario you point out below, women, on average, actually make more than men.
The idea is parity. Certainly if a woman takes 6-10 week breaks to bear a child and is “back in the saddle” to resume her career, I see very little that should stand in her way of doing equally well as the man who stays. But it cuts both ways: If he wants to take a family break for 6-10 weeks, he should be able to do so.
However, the employer should feel no obligation to pay either of them while they’re not working.
I think what gets confused here is value vs. tenure. I reorganize businesses for a living, and the concept of automatic salary raises for tenure is going by the wayside. To the point, if a woman spent only 25 years in her career (vs. the man spending 40), but brings far more value financially to her employer, she should be paid far more than the man.
But that’s not what the strident feminists are clamoring for. They’re looking for entitlement raises AND to enable the woman to have her cake and eat it, too.

Rick Santorum is right though. The issue with women in combat is different emotions. This comment is out of context and sounds like he was talking about the women’s emotions…he is not. He is talking about the men’s emotions. Men have a natural, built-in reflex to protect women in danger. Placing women on the front lines in combat will cause men to try and rotect them as opposed to only focusing on the mission.
