NOW's Media Hall of Shame: Rating the Misogynists


NOW's Media Hall of Shame is up. The National Organization for Women wants you to rate the media misogynists on the Misogyny Meter. I find it a real challenge to rate misogynists. I mean I want to give them all a zero on the scale of humanity, fire their asses, take out restraining orders to keep them forever away from all our daughters and sons, sentence the jerks to complete, or die trying, the most torturous of Ph.d programs in women's studies, and never ever have to hear from their sorry misogynistic twisted asses again.

Oh, yeah, and they should come back in their next lives as sexually objectified men living in the entrenched matriarchy.

But I see only one who has been fired and SHE is very far from the worst offender. It appears to be unthinkable in this woman-hating culture to fire male pundits for the crime of jeering, ridiculing, trivializing, and hating women. After all, these are the guardians of the time-honored American tradition of 232 years of male rule. Respect for women and Equal Representation are just outdated second-wave feminist issues.

No one who was paying attention to Hillary Rodham Clinton's historic campaign will be surprised to hear that NBC/MSNBC are the WORST MISOGYNISTS:

Six of the Hall of Shame nominees come to us from the NBC brand of media outlets. . .
[T]ell Phil Griffin, NBC News senior VP and exec in charge of MSNBC, what you think! (Read our sample letter).

Maureen Dowd made the Hall of Shame. Read MoDo's lame defense in the Times Public Editor Clark Hoyt's Pantsuits and the Presidency.

Nominate a misogynist for NOW's Media Hall of Shame.

"I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically when she’s feeling down, launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal."

"If women take a moment to realize that on every issue important to women, John McCain is not in their corner, that would help them get over it."
