Poor Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Picture the scene.
It’s January 1997. Arnold’s in a good mood, sitting in his den, paging through the latest issue of Variety. He chuckles to himself. Fuck the critics! Jingle All the Way is putting asses in the seats of the multiplexes of America, and that means money in the bank to the Terminator.
Suddenly, he hears the door to the room click shut behind him. It’s that devious maid again, with her wily, sexy Latin ways! “Que pasa?” she says, running her hands through his hair. He’s still not quite sure what that phrase means, exactly, but it seems to have a hypnotic effect on him, and his penis. He pulls the maid to him.
The next minute and a half are a blur. “Curses!” he mutters to himself, as he realizes that, once again, the wily maid has lured his hapless penis into her vaginal cavity. But it’s too late. The penis has released its precious load. “Me han robado tu esperma,” she hisses. “¿Dónde está la biblioteca?”
This, give or take a few of the details, seems to be how the author of the Rebuking Feminism blog imagines the events that led to the birth of Arnold’s love-child 14 years ago. Yep: in his version of events, it’s the women – both the maid, Patty Baena, and wife Maria – who are responsible for Arnold’s indiscretions:
Maria Shriver should have known better than to let any half way decent looking woman spend so much time in the house. The whole ballgame changes when a man reaches Arnold’s status. Women come begging to be f***ed by you. Women practically disrobe and spread when guys like Arnold walk in the room. I’m sure he abstained plenty of times but women like this maid wait for her opportunity when in such close proximity.
It’s tough, I guess, to be a freakishly huge, fabulously wealthy alpha male who wants to fuck everything in sight. But tougher indeed to be a beta:
As is quite common with the type of situation that took place with Arnold, I’m sure this little whore took her prized bastard back home to be raised by her oblivious, committed, and cuckolded beta male husband.
Some people might say, hey, isn’t Arnold partially to blame for cuckolding that little whore’s cuckolded beta male husband? No. It’s important to remember: he’s a victim too, and obviously not responsible for the sexual activity that Mrs. Baena lured him into with her fiery Latin vagina.
Maria may now file for divorce. The only people to end up completely fu*ked here will be the two men…Arnold for engaging in adultery (and the price only men have to pay for it) and the man that was cuckolded by his adulterous whore wife and will have to pay for it as well. Men bear liability to women on both sides of the equation. Men have no rights.
Now all Maria and Patty need to do is sit back and collect the cash. Ka-ching-gle All the Way!
EDITED TO ADD: The author of the post has added a response to my post as a addendum to his original post. The gist of it:
Arnold and his impropriety was not the intended focus of this article. I take it as common knowledge among my readers that what Arnold did was obviously wrong. This was not the point of the article.
The point of this article was to illustrate how adultery is supported by law on one end (the female end) and not supported by law on the male end.
“The fact that the woman is carrying the child has everything to do with her right to choose. I don’t think I’ve ever managed to see so much misogyny squished into one little sentence before.”
There is nothing about male right to abortion that affects women’s right to choose. Abortion serves to reach the same ends for both sexes. A woman does not have to get an abortion just because the man did.
“Yeah, Arnie, a lot of men were denied the right to vote. And you know what? That sucked. Because no adult citizen should be denied the right to vote.”
“…what were we even fucking talking about?”
I think we were talking about women’s experience in the human condition being something separate from the experience of men and how men are responsible for the human condition of us both and women are not and were not.
NWO – If you were aborted you would be dead and you wouldn’t be posting here.
Er, yes. I am in awe of your reasoning powers. But you know what? If I had never been conceived I also wouldn’t be here. I think that before a fetus has reached a certain level of “consciousness,” (and that is a super fuzzy thing to determine), it’s not a human being but only the potential of a human being. And any sperm and egg have that potential, but you can’t claim that it’s murder to simply not have sex.
Also, the State thing has shit-all to do with it; states generally make abortion much harder to obtain than an anarchist/libertarian society would.
“Wow, what a gentleman. Taking responsibility for a mutual act involving mutual responsibility is pretty gracious of you. Couldn’t you just as easily sterilize her and make her responsible for this mutual act and it’s ramifications? I guess that’s not the manly thing to do huh?”
And you would be right, it’s not. It would also be inhumane.
Arnie – I think we were talking about women’s experience in the human condition being something separate from the experience of men and how men are responsible for the human condition of us both and women are not and were not.
Well, that’s not true, of course. (At least the second half; being a woman is a different experience, although I wish it weren’t.) We agree. Shake hands?
Nope. Well, maybe you were. The rest of us were talking about how it’s ridiculous that you blame everything from accidental pregnancy to deaths on the Titanic to women not being able to vote on women.
“Also, it’s not perfectly 50/50 when it comes to the creation of the child. The man certainly does supply some of his own body in the beginning, but from then on out, it’s the woman’s body doing all the work. The idea behind abortion rights is that it’s her right to decide if she wants to put her body through that or not – and once the baby is here, then she’s on the hook as a parent just as much as the father is.”
Abortion is not about a woman’s body but the body of a child and as such the property rights over the child. Women claim their own bodies and their property, the body of children as their property and the body of men and the fruits of its labor as their property.
I’m tell you that children are not women’s property and neither is the body of men. It’s not really that hard to understand….unless you’re a woman.
Arnie: Sorry, meant “non land owning men were not allowed to vote”
Wrong again. By 1850 the restrictions on property were, to all intents and purposes, gone.
Care to try again?
Hey no problem Holly, if that “thou shall not kill” thingy is a tad inconvient just pick and choose when you “feel” it works for ya.
NWO breaks up the pin! The ref is up yelling at him now! Pecunium is angry! He picks up Arnie but Arnie elbows him in the ribs! Wait.. what’s going on… Arnie’s slipping out of the ring… he’s coming over here…
What? What’s going on JR? What does Arnie want?
I have no idea King… he’s grabbing the microphone… ladies and gentlemen I don’t know what’s… what?
Oh my god JR, he’s declaring that this match is no longer one fall, but a first blood match! Can he do that!?
I don’t know King! Holly seems confused! Folks, this is bizarre! Arnie just left the ring and declared that the rules of the match have changed! This is unprecedented! Don’t turn away, we’ll be right back!
Holly, I can’t help but think of NWO singing this
oops, this! http://youtu.be/fUspLVStPbk
Abortion is not about a woman’s body
Surgery done on women isn’t about women’s bodies?
Seriously, I don’t even know how to argue with that.
NWO – So why aren’t you conceiving a baby right now? (I mean, I thank God you’re not, I’m just saying.) Do you know how many potential human lives you’re destroying–how many babies will never be born–and maybe one will cure cancer–because of your callous actions? DISGUSTING!
I do actually feel a bit conflicted about late-term abortions, but in early pregnancy, there’s little to “morally” distinguish an embryo from the mere potential of an embryo, and the loss of potential is not murder.
“Wrong again. By 1850 the restrictions on property were, to all intents and purposes, gone.”
“Care to try again?”
So men received their right to vote in 1850 is what you are saying…and your point is what?
Arnie, our point is that you seem to be saying “women have never been oppressed, but they should be!”, and I can only conclude that it is Opposite Day.
(Which, by inference, means that it’s not Opposite Day.)
You seem to be unaware that this conversation happens across the country on an extremely frequent basis. I know of at least one woman who got pregnant and really really wanted to keep the baby, but the father made it abundantly clear that he was not interested in being a parent. So Planned Parenthood to the rescue on that one.
Most women don’t see men as walking wallets they can extract child support from; women generally want co-parents for their children. If the father makes it clear that he’s not interested in being a parent, that already factors into her decision to have a baby or not.
Also, how is this ‘paper abortion’ in the best interests of the child? Does a child’s right to be fed, clothed, educated and maintained in a reasonable standard of living trump a man’s right to fuck whomever he wants? (I can hear your screeching already, NWOslave, and in response I say that a fetus is not a child and therefore inapplicable to discussions of children who have been born and find themselves with needs).
And then I just read “abortion is not about a woman’s body.”
I’m done here, there are cats to be played with and it’s a beautiful sunny day outside. Peace!
Holly, is that the best you can do as an arguement for death. A “potential” life? What faith is you prescribe to Holly? Wiccan?
Hey no problem Holly, if that “thou shall not kill” thingy is a tad inconvient just pick and choose when you “feel” it works for ya.
OK, so NWO is against all military actions, capital punishment, police carrying lethal weapons, etc.
Except that it actually says “You shall not murder.”
Surgery done on women isn’t about women’s bodies?
Seriously, I don’t even know how to argue with that.
So you are saying that men are more responsible for the mutual act of conception than women are. This is where we differ. I believe that sex and conception are mutual acts requiring mutual responsibility. You are saying that a woman carries more responsibility because she carries the child. The whole point of abortion is to absolve ourselves from responsibility.
You are saying that women are the only individuals who have the right to do that and I disagree. It’s not your baby your choice. The child is not your property and the choice of ramifications of it’s birth are not your right to place upon someone else. Men have no right to place it on you either this is why we should be allowed to walk away from the thing or simply kill it.
Commissioner Victoria von Syrus is coming to the ring now! Thank gawd, she’ll bring some rationality to this…
Oh no JR! What’s she doing here!?
Apparently she’s saying Arnie can’t change the match and is making the rules clear to NWO as well King.
This is horrible JR! I knew it was a bad idea to have a female commissioner!
NWO – I’m culturally Jewish but philosophically a pantheist and believe that the universe itself is a manifestation of God.
Yeah, use “but your own dogma says…” about that.
Anyway, I have a question for you to (presumably not) answer: Do you think that a petri dish of sperm, and a petri dish of eggs, standing next to each other, are human? Would it be “murder” to refuse to combine them and implant all the embryos?
Gee Katz, when you knowingly with willful intent snuff out a seperate life that is murder. Unless women are going to abortion clinics, getting abortions, than claiming ignorance.
And then I just read “abortion is not about a woman’s body.”
“I’m done here, there are cats to be played with and it’s a beautiful sunny day outside. Peace!”
Go ahead, keep thinking that men are responsible to absolve ourselves of rights and choices in order to enable yours or to alleviate you from the inconvenience of abortion. This is the same type of thinking that got men killed on the Titanic. Women, women’s welfare, safety, protection and provision are no more important than a man’s..we are equals.
