An interview and a reflection

abyss2hope has a wonderful post about porn, with a link to Ted Bundy in his final interview, given to James Dobson.

What I find ironic is that Ted Bundy decided to give his final interview to Dr. James Dobson. Yes, the one and only, the allmighty founder of Focus on the Family.

James Dobson, the same man who believes, as Bundy did obviously, that women are less human, inferior to them. James Dobson, who believes that women are incapable of making their own decisions. Therefore, decisions need to be made by men, and Dr. Dobson has self-nominated himself for that position. Why Bundy picked another woman-hater, we will never know.

James Dobson believes that women should and need to be controlled. Ted Bundy did as well, just in a much more violent, sadistic manner. His choice of control was violence, Dr. Dobson's is repression of autonomy.

Keep in mind that some of my opinions are pretty radical, but what I'm trying to say is that while both are seemingly normal men, their views of women are not that much different. It is merely their actions based on those views that were different.

And while I would not dare compare Dobson to Bundy, the very simple fact remains that the idea they share--their view of women and their view as being superior--is comparable. They both foster the notion that THEY get to decide women's fates. They have decided this for themselves. I am exposing the similar views. I am exposing the similar thought process. Beyond that is non-comparable, for obvious reasons.
