Stupid Statements By Men About Equal Pay for Women
This week, I have had some interesting conversations with Doug, a fellow inmate at the Poverello Homeless Shelter, where I have been staying for the last 3 weeks, great food, interesting people, transitional time for the Shelter, and always a learning experience for me, as I watch people like animals in a zoo, and I don't mean that condescendingly. And as person after person, approaches me in shock, wondering why I am there, and don't lawyers make good money, and you don't fit here, or just plain, why in the hell are you here?
Perhaps the contextual context of an article written in the Opinion section of the Missoulian Newspaper may help. The article is called Pay Equity a tough sell, in which the writer, Ann McFeathers, likens pay equality, not for different jobs, but for the same jobs, to racial discrimination, and it is, it is called female discrimination. A quote from the article, says: Republicans say if employers had to pay women as much as men, they would hire fewer women. Really?
In one of my conversations with Doug, who is at the Pov, because he wants to take up writing, and leave his home in California, and cut a new life for him in Montana, much like the rest of us, many in transitional housing to help accomplish that task without maximizing he pain of such a move, especially if you are older and well established in your old digs.
But, he proposed a plan to get rid of affirmative action, by giving Republicans what they want, which is the open drilling of the Anwar oil fields in Alaska--you know the mantra, drill baby, drill . . . but to reach a compromise with Democrats, he is proposing to give a certain percentage of the money from the drilling, to eliminate affirmative action, but put money into scholarships for kids in the inner cities, or he said, specifically blacks, and judge performance and entrance into colleges, strictly on merit.
So You Are Willing To Vote For Hillary On Merit?
Obviously, there is no one with better job qualifications for president than Hillary Clinton, so are you willing to go by merit in all things. No, in reality, he was making the assumption of all dinosaur men of his generations, that of course, white males will always be more qualified than women and blacks, so if we can just figure out a way to get rid of that fucking affirmative action, that helped even the score, we can go back to white male supremacy . . . so really, what Doug, staunch Republican is saying is that we will judge on merit, as long as there isn't a woman or black more qualified for a job than a white male, which is exactly the reason for affirmative action, because white men in power, were discriminating against women and blacks, and always will!
Doug could tell, he was going to lose that argument very rapidly, and so, as most smart people, when dealing with me, will change the conversation to something they are not going to get their own words, slammed down their throats! When you support a decision, or a particular side of an argument, you have to take the totality of that argument, and support it upside down and backwards, to have any merit, to what you say! Or you will be backed in a corner, every time, and plays the fool . . .
Stupid Men, Discard Merit, Take Beautiful Women Who Are Stupid
So, this is what I am finding out about Republican men, whom I would say, I was a victim of their sexual drive and their outright stupidity, men who used their positions of power, whether in the church or the state, in Utah, one in the same, with no separation of church and state. Then you add the police state mentality, my challenge of that state of mind, and connections up to Washington, D.C., through the FBI, CIA, NSA, Senator Hatch and the Utah delegations . . . and that should give you some clue why I am at the Poverello Homeless Shelter, their intended destination wasn't so noble!
If you watch the movie by Mary Higgins Clark: Let Me Call You Sweetheart, Meridith Baxter, a pretty, but aging, big city prosecutor or district attorney, who based on her merits in being considered for a position as a judge, but, not unlike myself, who started out as staff attorney, for the Utah Prosecution Council, in the Criminal Enforcement Division of the Utah Attorney Generals Office, she finds out that an old murder case, needs to be reopened, remembering earlier in her career, hearing the words, don't rock the boat . . . meaning, we have put an innocent man in prison for a woman's death, but just leave things alone if you ever want to be considered as a judge . . .
Much in the fashion, I come to information in a case, strange connections start to appear, and make her and myself, look differently at a particular situation, that seemed unlikely at first, but with fresh information, the whole dynamics of the case change, validating what appeared ridiculous initially. She takes her daughter, to a plastic surgeon for some facial cuts, to make sure she doesn't ruin her daughter's beautiful face. While she is in the surgeon's office, she notices, someone she recognized, but can't remember her name, then she sees another woman, coming out of the surgeon's office, with the same face, again . . . this plastic surgeon had taken this very plain daughter, and turned her into a beauty, and now was making every woman that came in his office, to look like his creation, of his daughter.
In the end, it was a senator, whom Baxter was close to that had an affair with the plastic surgery queen, and like most men that do stupid things for a beautiful woman, he falls prey to her beauty, risks his position, ends up hooking up with the mob, questionable real estate deals, murders, cover-ups, that go way beyond what would normally happen. There are many social comments, and interesting perspectives, much like my own, that come from this zealous, driven female prosecutor, who is willing to risk her career for doing what is right and getting the husband, who is blamed for the murder out of prison, and put the right parties behind bars . . . good show, even though a bit dated . . . good shows have timeless appeal.
Reality Check--If Beautiful, Merit Goes Out the Window, Inferiority is Fine
So, what has happened to me, is before the government poisoning, back when I was general counsel for the Utah Medical Association, a professor of family law at the University of Utah, had my own anger management company, speaking to hundreds a week, and writing programs for the elderly or their caretakers, on the Internet, on guardianships/conservatorships, and beautiful, thin, powerful, but took on the male political and police powers, getting 9 federal agents and attorneys fired, beauty to boot, none of that mattered, neither merit, nor beauty . . . although I am at least alive, if male, don't think I would be . . . aneurysm, car accidents, heart attack, or gun shot to the head, which have all come, since I gained 100 pounds or more, but still beautiful . . . and that pisses them off!
Now, this flies in the face of the penis factor, so we can refine the model of women these men will and will not support, merit or no merit, beauty or no beauty . . . they want less than bright, or even bright, but they have to be beholden to men for their positions, their titles, their fame, their brains . . . a woman cannot be self-sufficient, strong, with merit and credentials, and beautiful on her own, that would not be fun, and the men can't control them, and they are not tweeterpated and titillated by strong, funny, powerful women . . . that is not the class of women they want, they want obedience, respect, adoration, etc.
Powerful Men Have Their Own Affirmative Action Going On--Affirming Their Penis
In the movie, the dirt, goes right up to a senator, as it does in my case, Senator Hatch, is right their in the middle of this great and wide, Mormon conspiracy against me . . . appearing above reproach, dignified, above the frey, beyond such puriant desires, a man of letters, church, state, and what not . . . however, I threw my name in the ring, against the 7 term Senator from Utah, and got blackballed, stopped, lied to, told that various events were cancelled, because, Senator Hatch in all his doing, was only doing to get elected, and whatever he was doing for votes, I was doing for real, to make a difference in the lives of the elderly, the abused, and all. I was a threat.
Hatch refused to answer the League of Women Voters, 5 questions, about healthcare, education, immigration, foreign affairs, etc. The League contacted me through email, and noticed that I had not turned in my answers, due to the conversations below, with the clerks of the Lt. Gov's Office, below, I had decided not to run, but I did, think that I could give them some really great information on all of the 5 topics, so for education alone, I sat my butt in the Butte, Montana, Library, using city computers and wrote, very long, detailed and in depth answers, having been at the bottom of the constitutional challenge to Obamacare, and involved in immigration issues in Utah, plus having chaired a team from St. George, Utah, writing a 4 step proposal, to end the war, or policy for Afghanistan, which has been implemented--I was shocked to see that none of my answers made it in the League of Women Voter's Guide! Why? I knew more than Hatch, or had done more personally . . . Utah League of Women, even gave me an extra week, to write my answers, who had the power to stop them from printing my responses?
I simply threw my name in the ring, as a high profile name, that actually could give the bad senator, a run for his money. I was a write in candidate, but national political organizations were acting like I was one of the regular two party candidates, sending me national surveys on my position and all. I had basically moved to Montana, in fact the day, I filed, April 10 or somewhere around their, three clowns from the Lt. Governor's Office, asked me what kind of law I practiced, I said, I am a constitutional law attorney, Hatch claims to be a constitutional hero . . . LOL . . . and voted for the Patriot Act, taking away all constitutional rights! Some hero, don't need the likes of you!
In response, these three Utah clowns, said, Does anyone still believe in that? Referring to the U.S. Constitution, and I am sure, these 3 college educated jokes, in the second highest office in the state, don't even know they have a state constitution, LOL, well really pathetic. But I said, in Utah they don't, believe in the Constitution, and I made up my mind on the spot, to move to Montana, and added, that is why I am moving to MONTANA! I got in my truck, booked it up to Helena, to a two day, four college sponsored, Conversations on the Constitution, at Carroll College . . . a Catholic college, and I didn't even know that until I dropped off a resume to the administration, and noticed the statue of the Virgin Mary in front of that building!
Daddy Southwick--All of You Look A Like? Really, Dad? You Sound Like the Surgeon, NO, All of You Get To Be Like JoAnn . . . too Much Bragging Rights for One Daughter
The Southwick family, has 6 sisters, I am the second born, the rebel, the wild child, always had more men than I deserved, and still do . . . the only one who is an attorney, great kids, but not active, not for Mitt, not going to give 10% tithes to the Mormon Church, etc. So, I have 5 other Southwick gals, and cousins, to cover all the things that I have done, and a few friends . . . baby, Kay or is is Kay Baby, as my father refers to my friend who was jealous of me from the day she met me . . . see old movies, a Killer Among Friends, and a Friend to Die For . . . let's see, we kill JoAnn, Shelley, the eldest child gets all things Jo did in connection with domestic violence and sexual assault, or use Shelley's connections with the AGs Office, being a rat, and give her some of Jo's Brock and Rice Securities case money, share with Kay Baby.
Rachel, Ms. Plastic Surgery, herself, the pin-up girl--looks like Jo, but a younger version, thinner, a the explanation for the better body, and the 3 inches taller . . . simply vitamins! Sue gets to claim all legislative work, plus, we divide Jo's blog with several sisters and friends, and Tiff gets to be, well, they all get to be attorneys, Jo, is not, she is either dead, or retarded! The plans they made for you . . . WOW! I was the only one with merit, letters, credentials, honors, awards, four bar licenses, and while I was back at the U.S. Supreme Court, the gang was trying to figure out how to stop that, so they pulled out the 13 years, poisoning, aka., terminal, not mental illness, and doesn't living at the Pov, prove, she never came out of the PIX Disease, never reactivated her law license, October 1, 2009, never did the 30 or so cases, including going to the Supreme Court . . . she did nothing, in fact, she is dead to the family, the Mormon Church and all connected.
Contrast & Compare Male Attitudes That Are Either Shot Down Or Fostered
I have been feeling under the weather this week, so I have watched the recommended movies, from the YouTube Gods, and two of them, in light of the equal pay issues in Congress right now, demonstrated some societal, religious, community, school, parental, and such attitudes for women who excel or who challenge male, alleged superiority.
QUARTERBACK PRINCESS--TRUE STORY
A family moved to a small town over the border from Canada, for a father of 5 or 6 girls, to finish his PhD. One of his daughters, Helen Hunt, played football, and wanted to play in her new high school. Her father approached the coach, he said they would have to get the approval of the school board, who was great, and followed the law, Title IX, that if high schools don't have girl sports, they have to allow girls to play on the boys teams.
Of course there is resistance, but eventually, the female quarterback proves her worth; she is also very pretty, so the guys don't know quite how to treat her. Eventually, she wins either state or regional playoffs, and the city is extatic, and she is given the due respect from the school, community, but especially from her team mates. They even nominate her for Homecoming Queen, I guess she got Princess instead, but they not only nominate her, but they take up a collection of money from the team, to buy her a gown, and even pick it out!
This is the way it should be . . . she got a chance, she proved her skills, and she was better than her male team mates, who stepped aside to let her shine, and they also, treated her like a lady, and loved her, and she them . . . that is why, we need to look at the young people of today, or at least some of them, they were raised by smart fathers and mothers, willing to fight for what was right. Same with the next story . . .
STAND AGAINST FEAR--TRUE STORY ALSO
The movie starts with a member of the cheer leading squad, being asked by a new football coach, to take some medical tape to one of the star football players. As she boards the bus, she walks to the back of the bus, he reached up under her short cheer skirt, and feels her out, several other boys do the same thing, and she is basically, sexually assaulted by the boys, leaving the bus, sending her running in fear to the girls lockers, where the leader of the cheer squad asks her what happened.
The tenacious cheerleader, gets statements from several of the girls, of stuff like this happening to them by the football team. She approaches the coach, who approaches the guys. Instead of just stopping the behavior, the two ring leaders, corner the cheer team leader in the locker room and sexually molest her also. Luckily, her mother is a high school counselor at the same high school. She goes to the principal, a female, and some how, the winning football season takes precedence over the girls safety, and the story of the two guys, in the girl's locker room for the molesting session, none the less, are believed over the girl.
The lead joke dip shit, has an attorney for a father, who also works for the mayor and the city, powerful dude . . . he tries to get the family to drop their charges, that the cops, actually drop, after talking to the attorney father and the boys walk free. So the girls, approach the school board, but the witnesses on the cheerleaders side, come and testify against her, and support the boys, say she made it all up--these are best friends, and boy do I know how that goes, even clients who I have done tens of thousands of free legal work for, have turned on me . . . so the school board, bans the cheerleaders from the field, and also goes after the mother's job as a counsellor . . . the husband finally, gets in the game and hires an attorney, female, I might add, who goes after the boys, the team and the coach, and wins . . . the other girls, including the football captain's own girlfriend, comes forward after little brother on the football team also, turns over a composition book, with graphic descriptions of the girls bodies, their boobs, butts, and other parts.
The lesson of the story, is stand against fear . . . someone has to, or this kind of bull shit persists . . . we need to change, lower pay for women for the same job, is ludicrous, blatantly unfair, and discrimination at its worst! One of the cool parts of the story, is the girls are each offered $15,000 to settle the case, but the boys are not kicked off the football field, nor punished in any way, so the mother and daughter team, plus dad's support, take the case all the way, and each girl gets $50,000 from the settlement, and the boys are banned from the football team for the rest of their high school, which means college careers! Heads need to roll, on so much of this stuff . . . the mentality and men that I have been dealing with, tits and ass guys, only way worse than cheer leading squad, we are talking a member of the U.S. Supreme Court Bar, for god-sakes!
