McConnell Says Wives Owe Husbands Sex

Misogynist Creep McConnell Says Wives Owe Husbands Sex

by Krista Montgomery

As usual, GOP "no war on women in sight" scumbags see women as non-human items, and water them down to sexual objects and nothing more. In this case, not only are women unqualified when making their own conclusions about sex and nothing more than sex toys, but sex toys whose lack of consensual agreement means nothing.

Rape culture is "fake" you say, right?

Dennis Prager, anti-feminist, talk radio host, conservative and co-host of a fundraiser for Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) decided to unwittingly unleash a slew of dreadful remarks, clearly suggesting that a married woman's consent means nothing if her husband wants to have sex.

   “Why would a loving, wise woman allow mood to determine whether or not she will give her husband one of the most important expressions of love she can show him?" Prager states, "What else in life, of such significance, do we allow to be governed by mood?” he writes.

With the definition of rape as forcing oneself on any unwilling participant -- or any sexual act where consent from both parties was not present or given under drug-induced/influenced state, it’s easy to comprehend that Prager is essentially proposing that rape is totally acceptable within the context of marriage.

Not to mention the totally sexist allegation that a woman's readiness to have sex somehow has any correlation to her intelligence, which is funny, because women who openly love sex are usually called “dumb whores” by people like Prager. The crap buffet is just beginning, folks.

In GOPland, love is apparently measured by a woman’s willingness to have sex, since in Teabagger eyes like Prager's, women aren't really made for much else. Forcing someone to have sex is filled with SO much love. Could it be, that like men, women also have days where they're "feeling it" and days that they aren't? Of course not, because in the world of misogyny, consent means nothing and coercing someone into sex is "no biggie." Women don't have feelings, they just make babies,....well....unless we want to make them out to be overemotional and erratic.

Dennis Prager continued the GOP bile-filled idea that women are nothing more than incubators with more nauseating commentary.

“What if your husband woke up one day and announced that he was not in the mood to go to work?...."

Because being forced into sex with your husband is the same as going to work at a job? Apparently, marriage = sexual servitude if you’re a woman. What a “profession." Thankfully, it's still illegal to rape someone despite GOP attempts to downplay rape incidents. Forcing someone into doing anything physically with them is unlawful the last time I checked. Hmmmm...wait, I MUST be missing something.

Prager can't really think women should be sexual captives, performing regardless of their physical or mental status that day to their husbands every beck and call.

Or can he?

He repulsively continues, "the decade or more during which women have the best chance to attract men is spent being preoccupied with developing a career. But most women are not programmed to prefer a great career to a great man and a family,”

I'm not sure my delicate, inconsistent, overly theatrical female mind can comprehend this, but in this day and age, women are absolutely proficient ( we were always capable ) in having successful careers, mostly due to the feminist movement that continues to clear things up for anyone claiming that women can’t have aspirations, dreams or exciting job prospects. Women work just like men, and some of them *gasp* don’t plan on having children, and don’t always feel like having sex with their husbands (or whoever they’re married to for that matter).

HOW INSANE!

GOP, misogynist mindsets like Prager's do all of the things they argue to be "fighting against" while attacking the feminist and equality movement by depreciating female bread winners and entrepreneurs, demeaning them as human beings if they aren’t sexual, all while instantaneously damning them if they are. And by acting like women, they can have no other aspirations outside of child rearing. And, even when or when not a woman chooses to have a child shouldn’t be up to the woman if the GOP had their way.

When asked about Dennis Prager’s comments, McConnell campaign spokeswoman Allison Moore said the McConnell stands with women strongly, but failed to say anything negatively about Prager’s comments, and ignored them entirely.

"Sen. McConnell has a long and distinguished record of defending and empowering Kentucky women and he's proud to run on that record. No one stands stronger for [Kentucky] women than Sen. McConnell," she said. 

Doing little to silence misogynists who financially/publicy support his campaign, not standing up against such objectivity of women, and the oppression of women’s choices in and out of marriage must equal “empowerment”, to Sen. Mitch McConnell.
