OT: Fox News Anchor Calls Brett Favre a "Woman"

[lights1961]

NBA is unwatchable.

I AGREE.. wow two things we agree on...

actually MLB is getting the same way with the DL stuff... but baseball is awesome game.
and i could care less some reporter babe calls Brett...

[conversationpc]

Jordan didn't play NEARLY as poorly as Favre did for about 5 years (prior to this season).

The Hell he didn't. He looked like a fool his last 4 years. Iverson undressing him with the crossover, MJ falling over himself in Charlotte gear...he did not go out at the top of his game.

Gretzky sure as Hell did. Perry did. Favre did.

I'm not a big fan of this "going out on top" stuff. I'd rather a player play until they've given everything they have. Then again, people like Rickey Henderson, who should've retired years ago just keep trying to come back and embarrass themselves.

Hey I think Favre had a fantastic final season, but there were a few seasons prior to that one where he was definitely not on top of his game. Michael Jordan should have never come out of retirement as evidenced by his final seasons. I'd imagine it's hard (not impossible mind you) to accept that your moment in the sun is over and you need to step aside. Much easier to say than to do.

WOO HOO!!! I don't have a son and I'm not a man...But I hope my Daughter's are that much woman!!!

[AlienC]

A little arm chair psycho analysis . this has NOTHING to do with the fact that she works for Fox or is a conservative -

Laura Ingrams issue with farve actually MIGHT reflect her problems with men.
She actually is unmarried and never has been , despite the fact shes not bad looking and extremely intelligent. Most men would want to reproduce with a woman like that !

It MIGHT because she cant relate to men. Maybe its because she expects them to never show weakness , never cry. standards , unrealistic ones. Real men can't live up to these standards (Shit I cry like a river after one f*cking can of Old Milwaukee and a slow hair metal tune- and I am full of testosterone!!)

Shes just transferring her personal issues on to poor Brett Farve.

I could be wrong here of course, and I actually like and agree with Laura I most of the time.

BY as a native Minnesotan and as a Vikings fan, I respect that guy immensely, though I hate his team!

I think you are referring to "Penis Envy"????? I've never believed in that theory...but Ole Laura is making me rethink this!!!

I don't believe that describes 'penis envy' at all. It's more indicative of Misandry, as popularized by the radical feminist movement of the last century.
From Wikipedia's page :
[q]For girls:

Soon after the libidinal shift to the penis, the child develops her first sexual impulses towards her mother.
The girl realizes that she is physically not equipped to have a sexual relationship with her mother, as she has a clitoris, labia and vagina, rather than a penis.
She desires a penis, and the power that it represents. This is described as penis envy. She sees the solution as obtaining her father’s penis.
She develops a sexual desire for her father.
The girl blames her mother for her apparent castration (what she sees as punishment by the mother for being attracted to the father) assisting a shift in the focus of her sexual impulses from her mother to her father.
Sexual desire for her father leads to the desire to replace and eliminate her mother.
The girl identifies with her mother so that she might learn to mimic her, and thus replace her.
The child anticipates that both aforementioned desires will incur punishment (by the principle of lex talionis)
The girl employs the defence mechanism of displacement to shift the object of her sexual desires from her father to men in general.
The offshoot of these events, often cited in the media and colloquially, is that a girl really wants to become her mother, so that she can control her father.

A similar process occurs in boys of the same age as they pass through the phallic stage of development. The key differences being that the focus of sexual impulses need not switch from mother to father, and that the fear of castration (castration anxiety) remains. The boy desires his mother, and identifies with his father, whom he sees as having the object of his sexual impulses. Furthermore, the boy’s father, being the powerful aggressor of the family unit, is sufficiently menacing that the boy employs the defence mechanism of displacement to shift the object of his sexual desires from his mother to women in general.

Freud thought this series of events occurred prior to the development of a wider sense of sexual identity, and was required for an individual to continue to enter into his or her gender role.

While fashionable for a number of decades, the concept of penis envy is no longer regarded as a serious one by most psychoanalysts.[/b]

Since it all originates from FAUX NEWS, it was only said to garner reaction.

Yes, I studied this in college and it's bullcrap...as stated above!!...THANKS!!! -

[MJM1959]

Look at it the way world reknowned physiciatrist Lucy Van Pelt might. Laura Ingraham does not have a bubble gum card. How can you say anyone is famous if they have never been on a bubble gum card? On the other hand, Brett Favre... many bubble gum cards.

Jordan didn't play NEARLY as poorly as Favre did for about 5 years (prior to this season).

The Hell he didn't. He looked like a fool his last 4 years. Iverson undressing him with the crossover, MJ falling over himself in Charlotte gear...he did not go out at the top of his game.

Gretzky sure as Hell did. Perry did. Favre did.

#1. Who is the final arbiter of when one has given 'everything the have' if not oneself ? Especially in professional Sports... ok, maybe their Physician, but that's about as far as it goes.
#2. If you wouldn't want it for yourself, how can you ask anyone else to do it ?
#3. When someone else decides your RETIREMENT DATE, it's called being "let go" at best or being "FIRED" at worst.
NOT THE SAME THING !!!

The Ricky Hendersons are why it's called ENTERTAINMENT, and is not to be taken seriously.

ANYONE that attaches any serious social significance to these people are asking for disappointment.
