Barbara Walters Defends Rick Santorum’s ‘Feminism’ Comments, Joy Behar Calls Him A ‘Coward’

video
» 105 comments

Rick Santorum has not exactly been saying the right things with the ladies recently.* He’s taken heat for a number of comments he made recently. Speaking about women in the military, he said that women shouldn’t be moved to the front because their male counterparts would just be overcome with “emotion” in trying to protect them, and, speaking about women impregnated during rape, he said that they should just “make the best of a bad situation.”** Santorum’s also got in trouble for a section of his book in which he argues that modern feminism has ruined the traditional family. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t get a great response. What is surprising is that he got a defense from the unlikeliest of places; The View.

*Don’t worry, Rick. We’ve all been there, am I right, guys?

**Whoa? Really? He said that? Ok, I take it back. None of us have been there.

Now, this defense wasn’t exactly a full voiced endorsement and it certainly didn’t come from the talk show’s full panel with Joy Behar calling Santorum a “coward” and Whoopi Goldberg saying that he’d have a “big ol’ problem” if he brought these views into the White House. Barbara Walters, however, said that she could see what Santorum (Or his wife. He’s since claimed that it was actually she who wrote that part of the book) meant.

I very rarely take a political position because I work for ABC News, these are people I talk to, and so on. So there are things about Rick Santorum that I do not agree with. But I do feel that there was a time – and, you know, I’ve worked all my life. Not when I was four and five, but after that – that there was a time when feminists made the woman who stayed home and had children feel inferior. I think we are finally changing so that we realize younger ones, you can make a choice. So I don’t think that what he said is so terribly off the point. He probably will be surprised that I am on that side and I know [Joy] disagrees with me.”

Well, there you go. One of the five women on The View doesn’t actually like Rick Santorum but she totally kind of understands what he meant. I guess that’s a start!

    Santorum is a splendid representative for the republicans.  Thinks women should be in the kitchen, hates gays, thinks health care for all is wrong, etc…  I imagine he will be the choice, as the nutty right is angling for him, cause they hate mormons as well.

     That post is either superbly obtuse, ignorant, or outright slanderous.

    He was defending stay-at-home moms, who’ve borne the brunt of liberal Democrats’ ridicule, condescension and contempt throughout the years – when it’s been their indoctrinated attitudes as the only contemptible thing in this latest GOP Smear!

    The race-obsessed Marxists on the left, along with the Democrats’ recently engaged War On Religion, will bring this President and his party to its collective knees in November.

    Walters ripped into Mimi Alford last week for writing a book about her days as a teenage White House intern and the way JFK, a man in his forties, preyed upon her teenage, under 21 year old teenage self . A teenager. A man in his forties. Walters thought it was despicable. Of her. Mimi the preyed upon teenager.

    Walters wrote her own book about her affair with a  married politician, Woodrow Wilson or somebody. Despicable, Barbara?

    For maybe 20% of the republican voters Santorum is their representative, he speaks for them. And that’s cool, since everyone is entitled to their opinion. That will not elect Santorum, or get his ideas adopted, but I suppose, like Paul, who also gets about 20% of republican vote, the idea is to air his opinions, and influence the republican party platform to some degree. Santorum also has a fair chance of getting a VP selection since Mitt will need a right winger to hold up his favorability among the right wing base.

  • http://gregingleright.weebly.com/ Greg

    External Daily Caller information obtained by Greg reveals that the right-wing media tabloid employs reporters, bloggers, contributors (some with carnal knowledge of a sitting S.C.J.), bloggers and Republican Party strategists (Roger Stone bills himself as a “GOP hitman”) to target its political enemies. Included in the list of targets are left-leaning websites, liberal think tanks, prominent financiers and donors, and more than a dozen specific News organizations and their employees.
    One of the main targets is Media Matters for America  “We will conduct extensive public records searches and compile opposition books on David Brock,” declares their reporting, likely written in early 2012. Investigations, it says, “will focus on the backgrounds, connections, operations and political and financial activities of Media Matters.” 
    In addition to Brock/ Media Matters, the data contains this list of “targets”:

    Government Officials:
    - Barack Obama
    - Michelle Obama
    - Janet Napolitano
    - Kathleen Sebelius

    In all fairness to Santorum, there is a reason why this had not been done sooner. If men are captured, they cannot be impregnated by their captors. But women can be impregnated by their captors, which would provide more headaches than intended.

    Absolutely you can search the web and find people with opinions all over the map. I’m just speaking from experience. We give our children mixed messages, boys and girls. I was told from an early age that I could be whatever I wanted to be so I chose sports, math, science and became an engineer, all the more typically male choices. I chose to follow my husband’s career, I chose to change careers from engineer to mom, I have chosen my path and have no regrets. I guess what we need to teach our children is to follow their passion, to hell with what others may say. I would like to note that while working I did face discrimination and harassment, I learned to deal with it and it probably made me the ornery old thing I am today!

    As a former military person (female), I do not believe a woman’s place is on the front lines in combat.  I know that if my comrade in the foxhole were injured, I could not carry him to safety.  I do not have that much strength.  Since my spine was injured carrying groceries I understand my limitations.  I know some ladies are very strong, but let’s face it ladies, we’re different for a reason.  There are many jobs we can do in the military which are very important and needed, but our men need the best support they can get when they are fighting for our freedoms.

    I can guarantee you they can not lift as much as a man. There are always exceptions to the rule. There are other differences also. We are made different for a reason. We were made to bare and nurture children. I know Dad thinks he can do that as well as a woman , but he really can’t. Have you ever seen a Dad coping with his infant son while Mom shops? The child panics. You would think the Dad is a stranger.. That is a survival instinct in children. They depend on the mother for everything. She is different emotionally, physically,,and mentally. Those attributes may not serve her well on the front line.

    I am actually anti war, and pro woman. The Native American tribes that only allowed women to vote  on things such as going to war were on to something.

    Having said that, the type of “reason” that Santorum – and you seem to buy into – uses actually demeans women. There are plenty of “house husbands,” that put the lie to your generalities.

    “Oh yes, Is it your perception a woman is better because she is able to
    shoot and kill someone? I don’t think so.”

    If the need arises, I would say yes. While women are less likely to put (the global) us in jeopardy, women in all parts of military service are just as capable as men. There are plenty of men who could not pack a comrade to safety. At least not in the real world. We have seen – and continue to see – that plenty of men do not do well either mentally or emotionally during and after combat, and the stressful situations associated with it.

    Don’t sell women short because they are different. It often works to their advantage in ways that raw strength could never do.

    Actually, I don’t buy into the same reasoning as Santorum. Remember I said there are exceptions to every rule. I would never have joined the Air Force if I believed the woman’s place was only in the home. But years later, having experienced both sides, I can say that women are made specifically to be wives and mothers. On the other hand, men are built to provide and protect. Those are basic functions. Must all adhere to them? Of course not. Having raised both girls and boys, I have observed a variation of all those tendencies. From the time children are born, they exhibit boy or girl traits. Sometimes role reversals at an early age. But , even then, their physical development continues according to their sex. Girls don’t grow muscles like boys and boys don’t grow breasts like girls. Muscles make boys stronger than girls. Hence the difference in males and females. Boys can’t feed babies though they can still love them. There are many other physiological differences and emotional differences also. If someone tried to harm my young ones, I could pick up a gun and kill them and not feel a thing. However I would never harm an innocent human or animal. If I had my way, all kids upon graduation from High School should be compelled to serve at least two years in the Military. They would learn respect and discipline which is much needed in todays society. My point is women’s value does not have to be the same as mens. We have our role and they have theirs. They complement each other. We don’t have to be like them. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

  • Anonymous

     In many ways, I think we have been talking past each other, as we seem to basically agree. You have affirmed what I said earlier about using deadly force if necessary. Someone shooting at you is just such an occasion, as they are not “innocent.”

    However, I still believe you generalize too much about male’s and female’s abilities and talents. (As separate from their values, where their differences are very important.)

    Protection? Provider? Those generalities, while they certainly had evolutionary value simply aren’t necessary today. We have a broad variety of protections in a civilized society, not the least of which is the police. And while Santorum and his ilk think women should be “barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen,” the majority of Americans do not. Women are still discriminated against far too muchin the workplace, but are still able to “provide” for themselves quite well. I have the daughters and granddaughters to prove it.

    If not some form of mandatory military service, then at least some form of work program away from home. I did mine in the Navy, beginning before Viet Nam blew up. I just got in on the beginnings of that “war,” before I finished my enlistment. The experience was an important part of who I am now, including being against virtually all of the military conflicts we have been/are engaged in.Things would/will be different when one-half of congress is women. Not to mention a female president who isn’t just trying to be a guy in a skirt.

    You said the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
    I will add:
    Mothers will not send young soldiers into places that rich white men will – and certainly not for the same reasons.

    I don’t see women as inferior or superior. I see us as complementary. I have the qualities he lacks and he has the qualities I lack. Together, we make a team. Yes, the police are out there, but somehow our world is more complete and safer when Dad is there. Children are more complete when Dad is there. The two parent family is perfection. Unfortunately, that is becoming non-existent in today’s society. Even though we women are more able to provide for ourselves,we still like to be loved, cherished, and protected by the men in our lives. We don’t want to go it alone.We don’t want to send our boys to war, but we do want them to be strong men. We girls just feel safer that way. We each have our roles in life to play but one is not superior to the other.

    I am replying here as there seems to be a cut-off on our later posts.
     
    Our mobile society – for better or for worse – plus the fact that too many businesses are driven by simple greed, compounded by tax cuts for the super wealthy, has assured that the days of the two parent household – where one could work and the other nurture – are dwindling, if not already dead.
