One of the oft-cited “facts” at the Democratic Conventions was that being a woman was “a pre-existing condition” before Obamacare. Hooey, according to Dr. Helen Smith, a forensic psychologist known as “Dr. Helen” on Pajamas Media.
Far from being discriminated against, women already consume about 75 percent of health care in the United States, Smith says. Men, on the other hand, are frequently encouraged not to go to the doctor for routine tests, including the life-saving PSA test to detect cancer.

This sentence alone is enough to make me consider her a whack job.

"The thesis of the book is that the deck is so stacked against men that they are “going Galt,” as Smith puts it. The term comes from Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged in which society’s productive members went on strike—led by John Galt—because they were being exploited."

I totally agree...why is she considered a 'feminist' and if she is indeed a feminist why is she making Limbaughs penis smaller??
 
I knew it, any woman who says that women aren't all victims and who doesn't think that life sucks as a woman, isn't really a feminist. You must talk about how life as a woman is tantamount to slavery, how sex is almost always rape (Dworkin) and the workplace is stacked against women.

Don't forget Marilyn 'all men are rapists' French!!
 
You labor under your own beliefs not facts or reality. You generalize about feminists, women etc. and throw this woman out as a 'feminist' who makes silly remarks about men and women. You and Limbaugh and his feminazis who are making his tiny penis shrink...LOL

It's not about her life as a woman, it's her sweeping generalizations and ludicrous comments that invite my scorn.

Smith says "...women already consume about 75 percent of health care in the United States...". I don't know if her statistic is right or wrong but just the fact of becoming pregnant and bearing children contributes to a lot of that health care. Women are encouraged to get good prenatal care, have regular check-ups during and after pregnancy, and keep on top of other issues that may arise from having female organs (breast cancer, uterine or cervical cancer), not to mention ordinary preventive care. Men can go through life happily with perhaps a yearly physical because the bodily stress of child-bearing isn't a factor.

Smith says "Men, on the other hand, are frequently encouraged not to go to the doctor for routine tests, including the life-saving PSA test to detect
cancer." I don't know in which part of the universe that's the case. Every health insurance plan I ever had encouraged men to get physicals, preventive care and routine tests, such as annual bloodwork and the PSA after a man reaches a certain age (50?). My husband is one of those people who refuses to follow this schedule. He's from the school of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I've had this discussion with friends and you might be surprised at how many husbands or boyfriends believe as my husband does. How do you get people to do what's best for themselves?

Smith says "I absolutely think there’s a war on men. I laugh and cringe every time I see something on the ‘war on women'...". Whether or not there's a war on women may be up for debate but it's absurd to even think that in our male-dominated society there's a war on men, or that the deck is stacked against them. Case in point, job opportunities, salaries, the glass ceiling, politics.

Smith claims “In the case of men, the government and the politicians work in cahoots with women to extract money from men...” What "cahoots" is she talking about, child support? That divorced or single fathers shouldn't be required to contribute to the upbringing of their offspring? Records show there are plenty of men dodging responsibilities for their children and getting away with it.

Smith says "And then men aren’t entitled to a lot of the benefits, such as WIC (Women, Infants and Children Program) or a lot of welfare.” Well cry me a river. Infants and children shouldn't have to suffer for the poverty or bad decisions of their parents. And women are included in WIC if they're pregnant, breast-feeding or post-partum. It's about prevention of nutritional risk for the vulnerable, not booze and cigarettes. And if more women than men get welfare (not saying if this is or isn't true), maybe it's because more women than men live in poverty. Funny how this welfare stigma is exclusive to women, when do you ever hear about a "welfare king"?

Smith writes "I’m a feminist in that I believe in equality, but that doesn’t mean the superiority of women." She states this opinion and tries to imply that all feminists have the opposite viewpoint. I don't know of any woman who wants more rights than men, just equal rights, and I hope this happens in my lifetime.

Smith writes "Title IX, for example, a law passed forty years ago, to expand opportunities for female athletes, ended up curtailing the opportunities
for men to participate in sports. This has made men feel “less welcome” on college campuses..." Come again? Show me the college football team with females on the offensive and defensive lines. School sports have been divided into girls' and boys' teams forever. Girls just want the chance to play sports in school and that shouldn't be a problem with anybody. I find her comment that Title IX makes men feel "less welcome on campus" is flat out false. Not every man who goes to college even wants to play team sports, in fact the majority don't.

I could continue picking apart her comments but you get the drift. Re: your comment that "any woman who says that women aren't all victims and who doesn't think that life sucks as a woman, isn't really a feminist." Get out into the world and meet more women. Feminists like me don't believe in calling ourselves victims, nor do we consider that life sucks because we're not men. Helen Smith used her natural talents plus opportunity and luck to become a forensic psychologist and author and she didn't do it in a vacuum. She needs to sheathe those claws and thank her lucky stars for all those who came before her and fought the good fight that enabled her to reach her goals.

Watch out, it won't be long before you are accused of being a rapist.

So, when its all said and done...You don't know but you don't like her claim ?
Do they or do they not consume 75% of the healthcare in the US....no one asked you why, its a one word answer.

Thats all irrelevant....again no one asks why .... 'some' men may not go, so what...?

Smith says "I absolutely think there’s a war on men. I laugh and cringe every time I see something on the ‘war on women'...". Whether or not there's a war on women may be up for debate but it's absurd to even think that in our male-dominated society there's a war on men, or that the deck is stacked against them. Case in point, job opportunities, salaries, the glass ceiling, politics.

Maybe she should have said "white men".....that would be more accurate...

Smith claims “In the case of men, the government and the politicians work in cahoots with women to extract money from men...” What "cahoots" is she talking about, child support? That divorced or single fathers shouldn't be required to contribute to the upbringing of their offspring? Records show there are plenty of men dodging responsibilities for their children and getting away with it.

Did she mention 'child support' ?....Adding caveats or mis-stating what she said proves you're a loser and a hack.

Smith says "And then men aren’t entitled to a lot of the benefits, such as WIC (Women, Infants and Children Program) or a lot of welfare.” Well cry me a river. Infants and children shouldn't have to suffer for the poverty or bad decisions of their parents. And women are included in WIC if they're pregnant, breast-feeding or post-partum.

And if more women than men get welfare (not saying if this is or isn't true), maybe it's because more women than men live in poverty. Funny how this welfare stigma is exclusive to women, when do you ever hear about a "welfare king"?

Again you give us the why.....it doesn't change the fact of what she said....women are entitled to benefits because they are women...a simple truth....and now you demand we buy your Trojans.

Smith writes "I’m a feminist in that I believe in equality, but that doesn’t mean the superiority of women." She states this opinion and tries to imply that all feminists have the opposite viewpoint. I don't know of any woman who wants more rights than men, just equal rights, and I hope this happens in my lifetime.

She states what she believes and YOU imply the opposite is true....it is exactly why women vote the way they do....you don't bite the hand that feeds you.....which is true of 'most' people....exactly the point was making on that tape that was mis-characterized and mis-interrupted by lefty liars.....

Smith writes "Title IX, for example, a law passed forty years ago, to expand opportunities for female athletes, ended up curtailing the opportunities
for men to participate in sports. This has made men feel “less welcome” on college campuses..." Come again? Show me the college football team with females on the offensive and defensive lines.

I find her comment that Title IX makes men feel "less welcome on campus" is flat out false. Not every man who goes to college even wants to play team sports, in fact the majority don't.

You're entitled to your opinion....so are others entitled to theirs...

You could be picking (or nit-picking) at her words....quite typical of pinheads today....the liberal media does it every day to liberal opponents...
Feeling life sucks as a women is exactly the attitude that led to the 'womens movement', womens lib and the failed ERA amendment.....and to a degree, the women had a point....its just if that "life sucks as a women" is all consuming, its not feminism....its more an obsession with the "I'm a victim crowd' that will never find satisfaction no matter what or how much they get....a mental illness.... and that would go for men also.....

Probably because most people aren't sexists anymore so the feminists have to go even further to get people to listen. Ironically enough they end up pushing away the people who might agree with them because they're so radical.

That's a great big strawman. That comment was made because a patriarchy of men are trying to unilateraly make decisions FOR WOMEN about their personal reproductive rights. The debate had nothing to do with who utlizes health care services.
 
I suspect that several men here enjoy putting up flame bait hoping to upset me. It's pretty funny. I get emails about this stuff. I got a couple of emails about this thread, and i also got them about the big c-word hoopla. And even though I told my friends I'm taking a break until the election, and that was my intention, I end up coming here to read what they told me about. So yeah, you guys are upsetting women, but not really me anymore. Still, a win is a win...congratulations, a couple of men had nothing to do on a Saturday so they baited women on the internet. woo hoo big win! Hey Soc, maybe next week you'll grow a pair and bait a man.

Now, to the point. Helen Smith is not a feminist. She's a right wing loon and an MRA married to Glen Reynolds, who every righty on here will know. She just published a book in which she claims there is a war on men, a war on Christmas, and wait for it...a war on white people. So that's the piece of shit you have aligned yourself with.

To the "article" she wrote. Let me get this straight...I'm supposed to be concerned because a some percentage of loser men are allegedly going to not go to college, purposefully seek out low-paying jobs, and then...refuse to marry me? Oh pass me my smelling salts. What a loss. Please no, my whole dream in life is to marry a whining loser with no education who works at McDonalds. This is so unfair! Couldn't you have prepared we poor bitches for this stunning blow Soc? Have you no decency?

And Helen Smith, "feminist" truly believes that men are so lazy and dumb they are going to purposefully stay uneducated, purposefully pursue low-wage jobs with no future, and play video games all night to get back at women? You know, I don't know any men like that, so I don't hold those low opinions or sweeping generalizations about them.

I know a lot of very educated men with great jobs, or businesses, who love spending time with bright, witty, accomplished women. Boy, am I lucky huh? Well, all I can say is, poor, poor Helen.

I doubt that you have even heard of Rosie Boycott, as you are incapable of seeing anything outside the USA.
