And we’re not even a quarter of the way through the year, yet we already have this beaut, from a so called “Orthodox Christian” Russian political columnist named Dimitri Artemyev, commenting on the supposed inferiority of women and why International Women’s Day is just another sign of Teh Devil’s work:

(Serious bowdown to Natalia Antonova for the English translation of the Russian original, with a full and well-deserved fisking and smackdown included within.)

… This becomes apparent in the symbolism of the holiday. Women are given flowers, and the givers know well that a flower is a plant’s genital organ, opening up to be fertilized. A flower is a symbol of tempting lust. This is actually why having little flowers on your balconies is a sin, an innocent-seeming bouquet is an honest symbol of orgiastic sin, of group sex, and any interest or delight one might take in flowers is therefore sinful.

If you can smell a rose, this means you won’t be too disgusted to smell the unmentionable body parts of a woman - because this, at its essence, is the same thing.

That’s right, Clones….the scent of a rose is the direct equivalent of the scent of a woman’s…..well, fill in the blank yourself.
…and thusly, sending flowers to your girlfriend or sister or mother makes you…well, a pervert.

Gee, Dima….I’m with Natalia on this one….which hand exactly did you type this crap with?? And pardon me if I really don’t want to see where the other hand was, either….if you catch me.

Sorry, dewd, but the scent of the flowers blooming in my yard right about now do NOT in any way enduce me to sexually assault every woman I see…..and unless that particular woman is using rose-scented douche to…ummmm…freshen that particular portion of her body; I’d hardly think that she is thinking about getting laid when she posted those flowers on her bedstand.

Then again, “douche” seems like an appropriate word to describe someone who would go at such lengths to analyze that particular scent of a woman as “sinful”….as if he had some experience there, maybe???

And I thought that Bill Napoli and Pat Robertson and ByrdBrain were off the hook when it comes to antifeminist bigotry…this fool takes the prize going away.

And…bonus points to Natalia for the “Asshat Thunderdome” smack, too…that phrase alone is enough to get her racked. For the entire post, though, she just became an official member of the SDC Fighting 101’st Headbussa Brigade.

Well done and done well, my lady…I bow down to your superior wordsmith.
