March is Women's History Month, but hard-line feminists in universities and major women's groups are deciding who counts as a woman. I have been labeled a non-woman. An angry critic once referred to Margaret Thatcher and me as "those two female impersonators." Why? Because in my books and articles I have questioned the basic premise of contemporary American feminism.

Being a feminist in this country means killing as many babies as possible, and taking breaks to force private golf clubs to accept women members.

One need only look at what wasn't said when the pervert Clintoon was president.

Author is Christina Hoff Sommers. I don't think she's credited here.

This is timely. Today I was debating with someone who felt that liberals are the inclusive ones, with a charter on "open midedness". I replied that it only applies if you happen to have the same viewpoint as them, otherwise you're a bad person. This backs up my point, with feminsists declaring the author is NOT A REAL WOMAN because she disagrees with their politics. I'll use this article as a "smoking gun" when it comes up again. Thanks for posting.

The women's movement has been hijacked by a small group of chronically offended gender feminists who believe that women are from Venus and men are from Hell. Women who value harmony between the sexes and who are concerned about the plight of subjugated women throughout the world will have to find a way to get the movement back. My X had me convinced this was all MY fault. I'll have to send this to her...heeheehee...

I used those examples already, but my opponent laughed those off as people specifically put out there just to be tokens basically. I feel that alone backed up my argument (he never acknowledged that any of them could possibly be qualified, just that they are puppets of a political strategy by the right to "appear" inclusive). But the difference here is this is just a woman with an opinion who is being shunned, no way to portray that as "legitimate" distrust of a politically motivated appointment.

Ms. Information was a South Park character. That was a great episode.

Were you to present evidence that would conclusively disprove his belief, he would not recognize it.
