"Stop the war on women. Start war on the jerks that are degrading them..." said Slate in a recent rant on the MFUJ website. I guess the guy has some depth of character after all. Maybe he should run for office. Any office. As long as he gets out of here. And by the way, True men don't kill coyotes. Not sure what that has to do with anything but it's something to think about too.

The following is a statement by MFUJ lead vocalist, Slate Man. No, we're not making this up.

I know that I'm not usually taken seriously around here, or in general. But there's something I need to get off my heavily tattooed chest.

I'm not sure who started this most recent war on women, but it needs to stop. We should instead declare a war on self-righteous chauvinists who think that they have the right to control a person's right to have autonomy over their own body and life.

Here's a newsflash, you old miserable suits. Not everyone shares your beliefs. It's a free country. You have the right to believe whatever sane or crazy things you want to believe. That does not, however,  mean that you have the right to impose your beliefs on other people, especially if it'll affect the health, well being and dignity of a large part of the population, like women.

It takes a certain level of arrogance and malice in a person for them to decide that the best use of their time is to attempt to pass harmful laws that would violate a woman and rob her of her dignity with invasive policies that are designed to promote some archaic, patriarchal sense of morality. You wouldn't like it if women created laws that would degrade men, would you? No, I don't think so.

Somehow we allow women to be mistreated in this country while the men who mistreat or even abuse women are allowed to get away with it, hell some of them are celebrated "leaders" or "artists" or "comedians". When humor becomes an excuse to be vicious and express some repressed animosity you might be concealing, then you really have to wonder if there's any humor there at all and not just hatred.  

How is it right, by any logic, to treat half of the population as less than human? If you don't like women, go live in the woods by yourself. Don't act like you are entitled to treat people any which way you want because you are some privileged know-it-all who feels threatened by the notion of a free-thinking, independent woman. It's sad that because of your own insecurities (or is it just antipathy) you want to drag down the rest of society with you.

I'm not telling you what to think or what to do. It isn't my place to impose my beliefs on your life like that. Just remember that you were born because of a woman and you may end up having daughters and granddaughters one day and that any of the rights you take away from women, you are also taking it away from people you love and people that others love. If you can mistreat them like that and can still look at yourself in the mirror, then you really must be a vampire because there's nothing good left to reflect back at you.
