Q: How many radical feminists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: That's an old joke and it's not funny!!

So, now I'm a he-man woman hater.

And it's all thanks to my lambasting of Michelle Duggar and her 17 crotchfruit. Well, I just posted up the pig picture, blame sfgate.com's Mark Morford for the text.

I know why I juxtaposed that sow picture with the Duggar article -- because I'm an asshole and I'm trying to make people laugh. And that's why Morford wrote his column. And that's why whomever made the demotivator above made it. Because we all need to laugh, and we often get laughs at other people's expense.

But there are rules, of a kind. For example, I wouldn't give a damn if Michelle Duggar had 27 kids if she did so quietly. There is a legal rule which stems from an Anglo-Saxon common-law concept of fairness. If you are a public figure, you have a diminished expectation of privacy. If you parade your family around to make a political point, people are gonna shit on you. Too bad.

Because she and her husband ARE exploiting their children and ARE profiting from being an all-American patriotic, fecund, fundamentalist freak-show, I get to call bullshit. Or pigshit.

Fritz wrote me regarding the following reader submission, which led to me learning that I'm on the short list of mysoginist bloggers (at least at Women's Space). And to mention that my original post pointing to Morford's rant gets hundreds of hits per month:

12/31/2007 | NYT | The Caucus | Romney to Huckabee Supporter: Pizza?

Why does anyone care what Jim Bob thinks about anything? Because he made a lot of babies in order to make a point. Waa waa waa, all you soi disant "feminist" bloggers concerned about Michelle Duggar's right to force her teen girl children into slavery taking care of a score of little brothers and sisters, cry me a fucking river and do something to stop these evil twits from eroding your reproductive rights.

The anonymous tip contained loads more Mike Huckabee bashing, of which I approve. Included is the allegation that the Duggars can support their obnoxiously large klan only through the patronage of evangelist Bill Gothard. I do want to mention that axes are being ground, here -- if you care to know more, read from the anonymous email we got after the jump and do your own math. Our official position on this is an ill-informed shrug.

I'm not worried, though, as Huckabee has as much chance of becoming president as I have of shitting out 17 flaxen-haired Stepford-tots.
