“Crush” Videos Have Nothing to do with Kindness nor Decency

Friday, May 7th, 2010

This is a relationship, love, and women’s issues site. We like to keep our readers abreast of how news affects our daily life.

I bring you this because we women, the sympathetic ones, are committing horrific acts of torture on puppies and kittens by impaling them with their high heels and video taping these cruelties, selling off the extended agony of innocent animals for profit (they die an exceedingly slow and viciously painful death). And get this—these videos are bought for sexual titillation.

I’m having a hard time keeping the vomit from coming out of my mouth as I write this. My goal is not to make all of you puke too, but to tell you so that we can ban together and stop this great injustice. There are more women living in America than men, so if we all act, we CAN end this.

Tell your best friends, your mother, your babysitter, your professors, your children’s teachers, the women you carpool with, the girls you eat lunch with, the shop girl at your favorite store that knows you by name. Tell everyone.  If President Obama can win an election via grassroots, then we can put an end to animal torture for sexual gratification and blood money.

Put up flyers. Write/email your governor, mayor, district attorney, write to January Jones, Mad Men actor and animal rights activist.

However, The Supreme Court will not act on this issue. The following comes from The Humane Society:

The U.S. Supreme Court recently overturned a federal anti-cruelty law banning the commercial sale of animal “crush” videos — where women in high-heeled shoes impale and torture small animals for the sexual titillation of viewers. Now, we urgently need Congress to pass a new bill (H.R. 5092) to stop these grotesque crush videos from resurfacing.

Please make a brief, polite call to Representative Niki Tsongas (202) 225-3411 . You can say: “As a constituent, I’m calling to ask you to co-sponsor H.R. 5092 to crack down on animal crush videos. Please do all you can to get this bill enacted quickly.” After you call, send a follow-up message. Thanks for all you do for animals.

The people who do this are equal to pedophiles and sex-traffickers. Which is why we need to make the Supreme Court act. There is little to no jail time for these gruesome crimes—perhaps a fine and a couple year’s probation at best. Know why? Because animals do not have rights. It wasn’t so long ago (1905) when United States President Grover Cleveland said “Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote.” 15 years later—FIFTEEN—we were granted that right. Let’s not wait 15 years to give animals rights.

Let’s not wait another minute.

I’m personally heartbroken. There’s a lot of suffering in this world, but if we gave even half the attention to this cause as people gave and are continuing to give to the save Haiti fund, a natural disaster that is not caused by humans monsters, then think of all the kittens and puppies we would save from the most horrific of fates.

Makes you wonder how well they screen animal adopters and buyers at adoption shelters and pet stores, doesn’t it?

Remember When Wednesdays

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

As the last installment of “Cheating Husbands” has been wrapped up, there’s much to reflect on. Written in 1920, just one year after women were permitted to vote in this country! It’s truly no wonder why so much blame was heaped onto women.

Especially when one considers the fact that the Mormon Church still allowed the practice of polygamy—until 1935! It’s not rocket science why equal rights for women took decades, and is still an issue that sparks controversy in America, and in nearly every other country.

The idea that women are inferior to men remains rooted in traditions, like  in weddings. That famous last line the clergymen says: “I now pronounce you man and wife.”

It’s a minor detail that goes unnoticed by most, but once you actually pay attention to the words, it’s impossible, as a woman, to be pleased that such discrepancies in equality are still passed around so freely. Some parsons do say “husband and wife,” and to them we tip our hat and say thank you.

What little ways have you noticed inequality in everyday life? Is it still a man’s world? Tell us your thoughts!!
