Mods, please take this down if it's not OK -- I'm a lurker who comes out of hiding every now and then, so I probably don't know any better.

Thank you!

omg awesome

I've wanted to watch this for years, but no way in hell am I paying for it.

[pudding]

Oh wow thanks a lot! :popcorn2:

Thanks for the link! Just watched it. You probably heard me screaming and cursing. It was...really bad.

Now if only the Botkinette videos would show up on the 'net, because I will never pay to see them and our library system doesn't want to waste money on them...

Edited to remove an extraneous ".", which was annoying me.

16:54 --> How are public schools, Social Security, and Medicare considered "anti-family practices"?

Ew. I see your YouTube and raise you a Pratchett: http://www.lspace.org/books/apf/monstrous-regiment.html

There, now, isn't that better?

Just two notes on the breaking links (since you seemed unsure) -

1. You only "need" to do it when linking to personal websites/blogs where users can see how much traffic they are getting, and from where.

2. To break the link, and make it easy for people on tablets and cell phones, simply take out the "www."

:)

I had to do a double take because I thought there was a Pratchett movie I didn't know about!

[August]

I started watching it, but there are all these women talking! Everyone knows god hates women talking and having authority. I'll watch it when it's only men doing the talking and appearing in the video.

[Dutch_girl]

Wow, this really gave me motivation to write that much dreaded essay, because I'm so lucky that my mom is influenced by feminism and I can go to college..

** starts writing ** ;)

Let's see(Warning: WAG here):

1. Ebil gubmint indoctrination, secular humanism, godless heathenism

2. and 3. SOCIALISM!

[pudding]

I have to stop watching, it is so shitty. They took statements out of context and cut the audio like amateurs.

Sorry, but how could this pile of crap win an award?

I btw am anti marriage. Or maybe not anti, I just don't care about getting married. What does marriage "protect" you from? Ok, when your husband dies you get money from the government, but how does it protect you in a """godly""" way??

[artdecades]

I can't believe I watched the whole thing. My procrastination is strong today.

I had never heard of Carol Everett before this, but damn, what a wackjob. And the video of the "abortion" was clearly a stillborn child. Probably a video they did not get consent to show from the parties involved.

The other thing that struck me was Stacy McDonald. I am not familiar with her at all, but her comments really disgusted me. They showed her daughters, who all appeared to be under 7, and her saying that she wants people to see "virginity" when they look at her children. WTF. No one should be thinking anything sexual in regards to those children.

[dairyfreelife]

I know we have discussed this on here, which is how I watched it the first time. The only thing monstrous is that video and do love that most of the scholars they stoke with were women...you know, university educated and intelligent women who may or may not be married and may or may not have any children at home. :lol:

[salex]

Drat. I waited too long to try to watch it. Taken down for copyright violations....

OK, I found something that says it is part 1, I think. Mostly really angry women from groups we snark on making unfounded claims and accusations ... spent a few minutes and know I can't listen to more of that shit. If this is what you were talking about, you are all stronger people than I.

[thoughtful]

I found the other source, as well.

I'm about 6 minutes in -- so far, other than the narrator (the filmmaker's wife, I think, who is a bit fast and mumbly), we've heard from two Knox scholars (working women, one with a doctorate!), one of whom is just giving general information.

The other has been edited, including visuals that color what she is saying to make it look like Knox only approved of SAHMs -- as she says he admired "Godly women," it cuts from her face to a montage of statues of women with babies, carvings of small children on a tombstone.

It is also edited to imply that she approves of Knox's wanting the Bible to rule life in general, when I think she was just giving historical perspective.

I know zip about Knox, but I know manipulative film-making when I see it.

I may be intrigued/annoyed enough to watch the whole thing and post tidbits here -- no promises, though; it may get on my nerves too much.

Colin, the filmmaker, interviews Gretchen Ritter (http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/201 ... d-sciences) who says that a feminist is someone who believes in equality, human rights and democracy.

He then asks here what would be the "antathasis" of that (not due to accent -- it's pretty clear he doesn't know what the word is), and she replies that the antithesis would be heirarchy and belief in the inherent authority of some over others.

Narration goes on to say that Christians cannot be egalitarian, because 1 Corinthians 11:3 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se ... ersion=KJV.

She quickly adds that some kinds of equality are OK -- how nice!

Oh, goody -- Phyllis Schlafly. They go out of their way to cut in shots of her at a desk, on the phone, being given things by a secretary (trying to show . . .what?), just before she decries "feminists" for expecting all women to join the workforce, and telling us "you should be taking orders from a boss, instead of from your husband."

She goes on to point out that, "As we all know, the world is full of tedious, tiresome jobs out there in the workforce -- it is really easier to get along with most husbands than it is with a boss."

Wow -- who knew men were so easily characterized? What if your husband is the boss at his job? Is he easy to get along with or not? I'm so confused.

End of part one -- can I handle part two?

[thoughtful]

BTW, the score in this film is way too loud, and makes it hard to hear what is being said.

"The feminists," they say, while showing a pretty bride getting ready for her wedding, are trying to destroy marriage, rolling out several of the most extreme old quotes, out-of-context.

Jenny Chancey makes sure we know that Betty Friedan was a Communist, complete with a :gay-female: morphing into a hammer and sickle. :roll: They wanted to destroy the family, of course, so that's the only reason Friedan did.

And they make a fuss about the fact that Friedan Godwinned, in 1963. Of course, she later apologized for that imagery, but that they don't mention.

F. Carolyn Graglia tells us that daycare is socialist. Oh, look, this anti-feminist makes money off of her book, as well:

http://www.amazon.com/F.-Carolyn-Graglia/e/B000APW2ZG

Back to narration, and a nasty animation of pink bathroom-sign-female outlines, labeled "feminists," making an incredibly obnoxious high-pitched whining sound with " Nag! Moan! Whine!" and "Accuse! Demand! Complain!" appearing over them, like an old Batman episode, as they accost buildings (BTW, there is also music under this, so now the narration is doubly hard to hear).

This is to illustrate how "feminists" demanded stuff from employers and the government. Little bags of money appear at their feet.

Time to rip Hillary Clinton apart. Are you ready. Schafly says she won't get elected president because she's . . . (be prepared, it's pretty bad) . . .

not likable!

Oh, no! :shock:

Carmon Friedrich (visionarywomanhood.com/author/carmon/) says Clinton's "face looks harsh."

And, Graglia tells the "bake cookies" story -- that has to be the anti-Hillary Clinton equivalent of Godwinning.

OK, do we have anything about, oh, say, government, policy -- you know, the stuff we want from politicians? Nope -- she seems harsh and angry to them; that's it.

Friedrich -- it is a curse for a woman to rule over a man, Deborah in the Bible was forced into her position, which was a "sad day."

Chancey -- God created men to lead, it is punishment from God if women end up in leadership positions (they have messed up so badly that, apparently, God puts women in government to mock them. Or something).

But the worst change feminists have wrought, they say, is women wanting to work. They illustrate this with video of a woman angrily re-opening her briefcase when her toddler slams it shut -- cut to shot of child looking a bit sad, then harried-looking woman leaving the house with her kids (the other kid looks really happy -- couldn't they get any footage of him pouting?).

Colin takes us to SMU, where Sue Shellenbarger (http://topics.wsj.com/person/S/sue-shellenbarger/6492) is supposed to talk about women following their inner voice.

So far, we have video of two women doubting their inner voice.

Wonder what he's setting up where that will lead.

[thoughtful]

And . . . I'm now getting a "404 not found" at that (Christian) site. In fact, I can't even get to the site.

Perhaps somebody's reading here.

If so -- Colin, it's not my fault the people who support you put your video on their site for people to watch for free.

I can't imagine we cut into your profits -- heck, I didn't even say where I found it.

I think Netflix may have it if you really, really, really, really want to see the entire thing.

Carmon's gentle-yet-patronizing voice makes me crazy. I will admit, however, that I miss her blogging. That was some prime cray.

[thoughtful]

Hmmmm . . . it’s back!

OK, folks, part three -- listening to your inner voice, and believing that human nature is fundamentally good, is something Christians must not do. God says so.

Kathleen Smith talks about how she dropped out of SMU because going to school made her miserable, and some asshole told her she had to give up her family to follow her call to ministry. But she defied them all, and she’s so much happier at home.

I guess we are all supposed to feel that way.

Anonymous former soldier talks about how the Army expected her to “suppress who God made you to be.†She complains about that, then about how the gender norming made the men angry. So, is the problem that the Army wanted women to become men, or that they acknowledged that women are different?

[thoughtful]

Part four -- abortion – they found a woman outside of a clinic being protested who makes me think that the film maker went to the Ray Comfort school of finding interviewees. She is pregnant, oohing over the tiny plastic babies the protesters are wearing as necklaces, and smilingly taking picture of their “dead fetus†posters.

She is, of course, in favor of choice, even though she started thinking of her pregnancy as a baby as soon as she knew she was expecting, and refers to abortion as “killing a child.â€

Scare map to show how the number of abortions (excuse me -- “children killedâ€) since Roe v. Wade equals the population of lots of states.

It’s an “unparalleled holocaust†and “a 9-11 attack every day, by 'the monstrous regiment.'â€

Carol Everett (priestsforlife.org/testimonies/1122-testimony-of-carol-everett-former-abortion-provider) talks about how she got to be a millionaire hard-selling those abortions to teens, with shrieking scare music in the background and video that appears to be a very late-stage ultrasound (you know, a cute “babyâ€).

She says “yet none of that satisfied.†What kind of satisfaction was she looking for? :shock:

Everett goes on with the old Margaret-Sanger-was-a-bigot (and a bisexual and a deviant) crap.

She also says she used to go into schools and encourage contraceptive use, which somehow increases abortions. She says “I knew, if I went into a school, the pregnancy rate would increase by 50%. I knew if I could get a girl sexually active, that she would have 3-5 abortions between the age of 13 and 18, and that was actually our goal.â€

She claims they gave the teens a contraceptive that needed to be taken at the same time each day, because teens never do what they are supposed to do on a regular schedule, so it would guarantee them their high quota of abortions.

Oh, and of course she is in her office at the Heidi Group (not to be confused with the Chronicles) – yes, another evil working woman.

Narrator goes on to say that fear-based abstinence-only education is a good thing, because Proverbs 1:7.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se ... ersion=KJV

Dana Feliciano tells her story of falling for the “feminist lies of Planned Parenthood.†More screechy scare music as she talks about how other women told her she “had to†get an abortion because she was going to be a doctor.

Oh, and the nurse at the clinic was rude. They show signs from particular clinics.

In a class on gestational stages, she saw pictures that persuaded her that her fetus looked sort of baby-like, freaked out, and is now sad about the years she wasn’t “pouring myself into my husband and my marriage and my children.†She’s also angry she was lied to, but doesn’t specify who lied and about what.

BTW, this chopped-up version of the film may also be edited -- others have mentioned a video of "abortion," which I didn't see -- just the slide show of developmental stages.

[thoughtful]

Part five –

The end of Dana’s testimony, and the narrator repeats that she was lied to, but doesn’t specify who lied and about what.

Barbie dolls – Mary Pride (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Pride), another college-educated, wage-earning woman, claims that Barbie dolls were based on a German sex toy (actually, it was a small novelty figure of a cartoon character, Bild Lilli). Bratz are also trampy.

F. Carolyn Graglia is back, saying feminists might agree about disliking these dolls, but only because they claim it’s victimization of women. She says “they’re not in a position to make that argument, because I think they victimized women terribly by encouraging them to become sexually promiscuous, as they did.â€

Annoying flash-by montage of t-shirts with sexy sayings, sleeveless tops and shorts (over sweet harp music, for some reason!), while Graglia goes on about how feminists made girls as raunchy as boys and encouraged dressing like whores. She claims “the girls will say ‘This is what we learned from feminism.’â€

As mentioned above, Stacy McDonald wants her very little girls (at the time this was made) to communicate virginity and purity when they walk into a room. Girls should not only be virgins, they should “look like it.†(how does a virgin look?) Otherwise, they are lying about God.

More narration that can’t be heard well, over choral music and the sound of a rainstorm. But it’s mostly a wrap-up of how feminism is bad.

A graphic of a two-parent, two-child family in front of a house, from which one child, then another, then the husband, then the home disappear, as the narration talks about how feminism “told you that children were a burden†and to usurp your husband’s authority. And the little pink lady figure is left alone without a home!

Oh, no! Because feminism made her sexually objectified, even she fades away!

Victorious choral music (making narration hard to hear, as ever) over video of a mom serving hot chocolate to small children (I guess feminists never do that). Reminders of how “the media†portrays men as dolts, then video of a man kicking a really old TV (I guess nobody wanted to donate their flat screen to the cause). Victorious choral music over shots of the broken TV.

Montage of some of the mothers already featured, quoting all of the things rude people have said to them about having lots of children with them in public.

Denise Sproul on how she handles the rude people by going on about how she couldn’t do it without God, how God sanctified her and how grateful she is for God’s blessing, etc. She says they are usually “quick to accept that†(hmmm, wonder how much of the “OK, lady, didn’t need a whole speech†Kidist-esque factor enters into their “accepting†it and moving on). Video features shots of her with an AA child.

McDonald with the usual about how the culture discourages having too many children, but they know that children are really a blessing. Video of a small boy with a bow and arrow, as she says children are arrows in the hand of a warrior.

Narration with graphic of little swaddled babies, claiming that “10 of the leading feminists in America†– no names – have 7 children between them. The 10 commentators of this film – “an amazing 60 children.â€

So, “as the monstrous regiments seeks empowerment, true influence is given to the faithful wife and mother who obeys the Lordâ€, and they dare to quote Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Sorry, there’s nothing meek about this group.

Various vague statements about how their way is best – not worth quoting – over a guitar arrangement of the Ode to Joy.

More about being a Mom, over video of cute babies, narration hard to hear over choral music. But the final statement is that “liberation comes to us through a man.â€

That’s right – Jesus, of course!
