Pat Robertson.

Pat Robertson is a particularly nasty specimen. I will let his words explain everything...

• I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period.


• It's one thing to say, 'We have rights to jobs...we have rights to be left alone in out little corner of the world to do our thing.' It's an entirely different thing to say, well, 'We're not only going to go into the schools and we're going to take your children and your grandchildren and turn them into homosexuals.' Now that's wrong.


• Many of those people involved with Adolf Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals - the two things seem to go together."


• The key in terms of mental ability is chess. There's never been a woman Grand Master chess player. Once you get one, then I'll buy some of the feminism...


• As long as the husband is following the mandate of the Lord, the wife should submit to his leadership even though she may disagree with it. God's standard is true. Yet in many marriages, the wife is more able than her husband. Regretfully a woman with great abilities sometimes marries a man who does not have much ability. This wife must resist the temptation to dominate her husband. Her husband will sometimes make decisions that the wife feels are wrong. She must either gently persuade her husband or pray that God will change her husband's mind.

And possibly my favourite ever (which I have on a postcard!),
The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.

So... misogyny, homophobia, racism and general all-round bigotry... Take your pick!

Jerry Falwell

It’s an old one, but a good one. I thought I’d kick off with a bang because this chap is a professional jerk par excellence, ever at the ready to say something stupid. If you don’t already know, Jerry Falwell is a Baptist televangelist, God bothering, “conservative activist” and the US media give him far too much attention. Here’s a taste of his masterful brand of critical thinking:

“I listen to feminists and all these radical gals - most of them are failures. They've blown it. Some of them have been married, but they married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men - that's their problem.”

Yeah, Jerry. That’s just what feminists need, a man like you. I'm sure that having someone like you around the house would cure me of my feminist impulses on no time at all. Jerry and his ilk never realise that they are our "problem" and part of the reason why women had to create feminism in the first place.

He’s not too keen on the “homosexuals” either.

..... But interestingly, his daughter is a surgeon.
