And they say misogyny doesn't exist...


Ah yes, misogyny is alive and well in our country. Check out this handy little tool crafted especially for the holiday/election season: the Hillary Clinton Nutcracker.


Look, she has scary steel jaws between her legs, a very masculine-looking pantsuit, and a cropped haircut!! She probably doesn't even know how to bake cookies with all the nuts she's able to crush.


Presumably she's meant to be "crushing" her cheatin', lyin', pants-unzippin' husband, but that's not where her maniacal takeover ends. Oh no -- rich, white, land-owning men everywhere, be warned!! Hillary is on the loose and her support in the polls means the beginning of a new feminazi agenda, where Woman, freed from her domestic yolk, is taking on the patriarchal powers that be. I'm reminded of Pat Robertson's wise comment that "Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." Indeed, Hillary's "assertiveness" (read: "bitchiness" in a feminine context) is truly the #1 threat to this country's national security. Well, after illegal aliens, crazy-man Ahmadinejad, and them terrorists, that is.


In other words, our country is so scared of a woman having a decent chance to actually win the highest elected office that we resort to mocking her by calling her a ball-buster. That's just pathetic. If you don't like Hillary, fine, but let it be on her ideas and merit, and not the fact that she happens to be a powerful, rather well-spoken woman. I'll admit there may be a lot of "nuts" in government who ought to be crushed, but this whole idea just rubs me the wrong way.


P.S. Don't get me started on the anti-gay quips on the promotional website... ("Sure worked well on the pecans for my fruitcakes.” -Al Gore) Next on Krystyna's Blog: Homophobia: Alive and Well.
