Let’s Slut-Shame @WendyDavisTexas!

Posted on Comments

“Over time, the Davises’ marriage was strained. In November 2003, Wendy Davis moved out. Jeff Davis said that was right around the time the final payment on their Harvard Law School loan was due. ‘It was ironic,’ he said. ‘I made the last payment, and it was the next day she left.’ . . . In his initial divorce filing, Jeff Davis said the marriage had failed, citing adultery on her part . . .”

Smitty already took a whack at the Wendy Davis piñata today, and that’s probably enough Wendy Davis bashing for the week.

She’s so far down in the polls as to be hopelessly doomed. She will lose to Greg Abbott in November without any further help from us.

However, the point of mocking progressive celebrity women is not because such mockery will contribute to their electoral defeat. No, the purpose of deriding Democrat women is to inspire feminists to frothing rage over the alleged sexism of conservatives.

Of course, Republican women are routinely disparaged in the most foul misogynist ways by left-wingers, and feminists never say a word about that, but let Rush Limbaugh make a wisecrack about Sandra Fluke and suddenly it’s a right-wing #WarOnWomen.

Conservatives are going to be slammed as misogynists no matter what we say or do, so we might as well have some fun and try to do something that will provoke a wildly unhinged Amanda Marcotte rant.

Most of the resentment over Wendy Davis’s fudging of her biography — “My language should be tighter,” she admitted to the Dallas Morning News — is focused on her depiction of herself as a struggling “single mom,” despite the way she hooked up with an older sugar daddy when she was 21, married him when she was 24, moved into a posh neighborhood, and got him to pay her way through Harvard Law. Then Wendy left him with custody not only of the daughter they’d had together, but also with her daughter from her first marriage.

Not to be judgmental or anything, but that’s scarcely the tale of hardship and woe that wins much sympathy from actual single moms, many of whom are conservative women, and disinclined to RSVP to the Wendy Davis Feminist Victimhood Pity Party.


You get the general idea: We want to force feminists to defend the real Wendy Davis — a liar, a cheater, a selfish gold-digger — and to make them explain how her actual biography (and her dishonesty about her biography) is consistent with progressive ideals. And if they refuse to fight Wendy’s fights for her, we’ll then have a wonderful headline: “Feminists Abandon Democrat Wendy Davis.”

Heads we win, tails they lose.

  2. I suppose “single mom living in mobile home” is now the “born in a log cabin” equivalent. It does resonate more than “had sugar daddy pay for Harvard Law.”

  3. So, I guess her thinking has evolved from “abandon the children” to “abort the children”.

    Smells like Progressivism to me!!

  5. Typical Progressive “math” – if ready access to abortion or free birth control is not an option, expect someone else to deal with the consequences for them. Andrew Sullivan can get to work – does she have a younger sister? Perhaps he can prove those kids really came from some other woman’s womb. Like with Sarah Palin – he tried to prove that Trig was actually Bristol’s son.

    Which is what drove progressives crazy – Sarah modeled the conservative way. Faced with the birth of a disabled baby, she had him anyway and he will be taken care of. Faced with a single daughter’s pregnancy, the family rallied behind her with their love and support.

  6. The obvious question: how is it that a Harvard-educated lawyer has a problem with her language being too loose? Isn’t that something they very specifically train attorneys to get right?

  7. I always thought that women who work menial jobs to put their husbands through college only to be dumped at graduation got a raw deal. Funny to watch Progressives defend Davis’ similar behavior.

  8. Divorce law caught up with that problem in some states by making the present value of future earnings from a degree marital property. The law acknowledged that under circumstances where one spouse supported the degree earning spouse, the degree was a true “team” effort. Of course, in years past, it was normally the wife putting the husband through medical school, law school or whatever.

  9. NO. Feminists see men as someone to milk for their own purposes. Such has been going on for many years. We used to call them gold diggers.

  12. Looking at those polls (latest one is early November), I wouldn’t be cuffing any carrots over that. Elizabeth Warren was -9/-15/-17 early on, against Brown. Looked how her lying worked out – even being mentioned as a Presidential contender.

  14. No! NO! WENDY can WIN! We have to encourage the Democrats to pour million$ into Texas to help this brave womyn! (Work with me here, Stacy. The dame’s a cash black hole for the Democrats.)

  15. Havahd Smahties loves them their langwidge. They just don’t make sense with it to anyone else. It’s all coded barks. like in a hyena pack.

  22. You’re right, and Texas is a big and costly state to run in. The DNC needs to fill up the Death Star with 10 dollar bills for Wendy

  23. The left has forced it into that funnel. If the left doesn’t like what it has produced, then they can walk the cat back. OTOH, however, they won’t because that’s simply what they are. Lying and shameless twits are all they have become because they refuse to grow up.

  25. So what will surely help the cause is to mock, swear, and “slut shame”. Sounds good… at least we all have our dignity.

  26. Not sure how you get “BOTH sides” out of this story, unless dismantling the meta-narrative with actual facts is now a hate-crime.

  28. So Wendy Davis used the Patriarchy to get ahead, you say that like that’s a bad thing. She’s just a blonde Fauxcahontas.

  29. So what, Texas has never had a Democratic governor? My point is that Elizabeth Warren came up from behind to win MA despite her lying. Are you factoring in the “boots on the ground” that are already in place in Texas – specifically all those Obamacare Navigators.being funded by the federal government. Awhile ago Breitbart did something about Enroll America, Texas planning to coordinate with Battleground Texas (a PAC with the goal “Turn Texas Blue”) – sharing databases for voter registration purposes. I recall an article on navigators in Florida and a lot of them had helped with the Obama campaigns – I suspect these “navigator jobs” are just a holding mechanism.until they are needed to work the 2016 campaign. .Just like ACORN made it’s money off of HUD (doing homebuyer “counseling”), I fully expect part of the purpose of Obamacare is to keep the Democrat machine well oiled.

    Does the Republican Party in Texas have a strategy to counteract this? To paraphrase, “Follow the ObamaCare Money”

  30. I think Davis’ husband was not working some menial job to put her through law school, but given what a miserable person Davis is…he probably came out ahead in the long run in cutting his ties to her.

  32. He (and her daughters) apparently are too stupid to realize this, since they’re supporting her attempt to do unto Texas as she did unto them.

  34. Embarass the party of Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, and Barack “Ate a Dog” Obama?

    ’tain’t possible.

  38. Not in Texas. Community property, but no right to the spouse’s future earnings. Child support only (although the parties can agree to spousal maintenance).

  41. Texas Democrats like to think they’re good people, and in fact, many of them are simply the product of a bad upbringing by generations of Yellow Dogs. They can be reached.

  42. I was a California Republican. I boxed up my dignity the second time the State and DC leadership screwed over the people’s choice candidate.
    By any means necessary, baby.

  43. “No, the purpose of deriding Democrat women is to inspire feminists to frothing rage over the alleged sexism of conservatives.”
    LOL

  44. That’s a weak generalization. Some feminists are sincere. Yeah, some do use men though and feel entitled to do so, like the cute lesbian artist who uses men for dinners, rent money, and whatever else they can get their mits on. I’ve never been a victim of those girls, but I have known them.

  45. Having known women who have done such things, I have to agree with you. They actually feel entitled to use men for money based on some vague notion of oppression, even though the majority of these women are from the suburban, privileged, middle class.

  46. No comparison between Warren and Davis. Going after our financial institutions who are corrupt to the very core is an issue that plays nationally and on both sides of the aisle, especially amongst people who have suffered hard during what is in reality a depression. What does Davis stand for? Aborting a late term fetus? The Consumer Protection Bureau that Warren wanted to head was a good idea too, especially when credit card companies act in ways that would make Mafia loansharks wince.

  47. The intention is not for Davis to win. The Democrats are playing a long game in Texas to turn the state blue and this is simply the opening salvo to throw the GOP off balance and test the waters. She is not the ideal candidate though and is too far left. She will galvanize the progressive base in Texas and get them moving. In the next few election cycles you’ll see a real candidate emerge.

  48. So she bilked some guy for college money? It’s a dead world and the land is rotten. No one needs to be forgiven. All she needs to do, like every liberal progressive, is stay on message and support the cause. If you think democrats get hung up on moral failings like Republicans sometimes do, you’re not paying attention. They don’t care.

  49. No, they have grown up and realize the world is not governed by moral principals, and life is short, and in the end all that matters is winning the game. The means to that end is beyond irrelevant and a load of hand wringing over moral failings is for pussies. You’re naive if you think otherwise. The whole world is corrupt, especially US institutions(even baseball has lost it’s purity) and bilking some schmuck for a harvard education so you dont have to be saddled with loans may look bad, but in the long run she’s without college loans and a Harvard degree and that can only be beneficial.
