Thinking Critically - Maddox Debunks Wage Myth
The Obama years have brought us controversy. One issue after the other is discussed in such a way to divide Americans. We now have more animosity between blacks and whites, illegals and citizens, criminals and law enforcement, and of course women and men.
Yes, one can argue that Americans do need to discuss many difficult issues. Certainly it is better to discuss things than to sweep them under the rug. We can also argue that these discussions could be more productive if we are more willing to deal with real facts and real issues rather than propaganda and entirely made up statistics for the purposes of pushing an agenda.
How many times have we been told of a story about an important issue where someone has cited a statistic to support them or cited some wild story that occurred, only to discover the stats were misleading or the initial reports surrounding the story were completely wrong? Let's face it, if these issues were so prevalent it would actually be quite easy to find a good story to support their issues. It would not be necessary to fudge facts and/or numbers.
Most Americans have no problems discussing issues that are of major concern but let us always take the time to vet stories until all the facts rise to the surface and let us always remain true to the facts, no matter how uncomfortable they might make us.
The following video by Maddox debunks perfectly and thoroughly the myth of women's wages that has been making its rounds AGAIN in the last year.

Nobody Thought This Was a Bad Idea? Princesses With Foul Mouths
In order to make a commercial or a public service announcement, a lot of time and talent needs to be invested. I know. I've worked on a few commercials myself. First a commercial needs to be developed and funded and talent hired. A location needs to be determined, a cameraman, props, and a whole host of other individuals are also involved - lighting, craft service, director, editor, etc. It's a mini-movie really and it can take a long time to wrap up a simple two-minute commercial. Not all commercials or public service announcements are the same however, but any that require actors and the delivery of lines is going to take some time and many people being involved.
Keeping all this mind, watch this:
This is why I must question, how it is that nobody said anything during the process of making this ad/message? Really? Nobody thought, this might be a bad idea? Nobody thought their voice could be heard without abusing children in the process? Sorry but I do see this as abuse. This can all be filed under, "WRONG."
I have a few other issues with this video. One the whole myth about women's pay has been roundly debunked for years but, somehow hard-core feminists keep missing the memo.
Personally, I'm all for equality and we can and should work together in order to achieve that. For instance, I would like to know why it is when women kill, we are supposed to always show great sympathy and empathy for them but when men kill, we should demand swift punishment?
As many of you know, I have covered the Jodi Arias case at great length. I am appalled that this woman did not receive the death penalty for her crime. Had Jodi been a man, there would have been no hung jury and we would not be sitting here waiting for a new jury to give their sentence for this woman.
Many people remember the Andrea Yates case. This is a woman who purposefully waited for her husband to leave the home, and then she proceeded to methodically murder each one of her five babies. She even chased them around the house and held each one down under water until they were lifeless. Then she called the police to inform them of her murderess deeds. Yet, many people across this entire country feel some sympathy for Andrea. In fact they demand that we accept she has mental issues and some even go so far as to blame the husband fully for what happened, suggesting that he is the one who killed the children indirectly.
Could you imagine if this had been a husband killing his five children in this manner? Do you think for a moment people would feel a shred of sympathy for that man? Or do you think anyone would blame the wife for what happened? Women are perceived as being weaker by the very people who demand equality.
Where are these women groups when it comes to trials like the ones mentioned? Why are they not demanding equal treatment, equal punishment?
Where are the feminists when it comes to the treatment of Muslim women? Why all the silence there?
It seems as though feminism picks and chooses what it likes and rejects what it doesn't like when it comes to equal treatment. Men and women are indeed different. Equality is a good thing and it's positive but, if we want equality than we must demand that under all circumstances, not just the ones we like.
I also take issue with the comment that speaks about women being safe to walk to their car at night. Since when are men more safe in this situation? I do believe it's wise that all adults of any age stay alert and be prepared for danger when doing anything like walking to their car at night. Sure, women need to be on alert more because our reflexes and strength are simply not equal to that of a man's.
The statistics for rape seem to be a bit exaggerated. Some of the studies that show 1 in 5 are including women who had consensual sex but were under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time. It also included women who had agreed to sex but were not "enthusiastic" about doing so. While I certainly do not want to go around blaming women for being raped, these types of cases where the woman is drunk or under the influence could be easily avoided by exercising some self control. Sure, men need to have self-control as well and I would never say otherwise but, responsibility in these cases is more of a two-way street. Women cannot be seen as equal if they are simultaneously demanding that they take no responsibility for their actions.
Little girls mocking other little girls who wear princess dresses is akin to bullying, is it not? Having these little girls swear repeatedly is also a form of bullying and the message itself is filled with irresponsible fallacies that make homeopathy seem legitimate.
Once again, we see a typical leftist crowd (feminists), using children as a tool to deliver their message. Why? Why would anyone believe using young girls for this purpose would be positive in any way?
As a woman, I should be encouraging my daughter HOW to think for herself and not what to think. It is important that my daughter understand that she is allowed to have opinions that differ from my own. She is allowed to like and dislike things because she is an individual. She will always be my baby and she will always be loved by me but, I am not going to force my opinions on her. I will however tell her how I arrived at forming my opinions. I will ask that she examine why and how she forms her opinions. I want her to THINK, not parrot my beliefs.

Crazed Bachmann
Michele Bachmann's Newsweek cover leaves a lot to be desired -- like sanity.
What on earth is this?
Seriously? Why do these people even bother? Don't we all think it's about time the media just come out and say they are a bunch of commies?
Who on earth does this to a person? I don't know if it's sexist as much as it is them being against conservatives. They always resort to these childish tactics of trying to make someone look bad but that's because they can't fight us on the level of logical discussion. Why not challenge her and her ideas instead?

Mind you, I don't think this is the most important story of the day. I just thought I would comment because some of these other stories are just a little bit "heavy" for me today.

California, Republicans, and Women
Click title of post for full story.
Excerpt:
November cannot come soon enough.
Excerpt:
Meg Whitman won the party's nomination for California governor on Tuesday and Carly Fiorina will carry the GOP banner into the fall campaign for a Senate seat, a pair of wealthy businesswomen and first-time candidates running against veteran politicians in a year of palpable anti-establishment sentiment.Well, this is going to be very interesting. I'm actually pretty excited to hear about this. From what I understand, Fiorina is considered quite conservative, not just another RINO.
November cannot come soon enough.
