Excellent article. Thanks for posting.

Hit it boys!
You are most welcome.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton must take another spin in her grave every time some "feminist" loon like Greer comes out with one of her ridiculous statements. ("Unnecessary" tests such as mammograms? WTF is up with that??) I feel like Zell Miller and the Democrats: I didn't leave the feminists; they left me. I supported the Iraqi war in part because of what the charming Uday and Kusay used to do to whatever pretty young women crossed their path. And this young woman who used her gang-rape compensation money to start a school is nothing less than a heroine.
I just wish the anti-male loons had not stolen the honorable title of "feminist." I don't know what to call myself these days.
I shot him, but my culture dictates that I must do that to ragheads who try to rape me. There's not a judge in this part of Texas who wouldn't acquit me with that defense.
I applaud the brave women in these third world countries. They are, for sure, the true feminists!
Moral Absolutes Ping.
Good article, as far as the writer takes it. But one sore point - the poor women suffering from hideous cruelty and abuse who want the humane treatment and freedom that every human being should have are NOT "feminists". Feminism has nothing to do with natural laws, natural humane behavior, or respect and kindness between the sexes.
Feminists are silent about the cruelty and abuse as described, because that's not what they care about. The feminist agenda is about abortion, lesbianism, being able to be a slut freely without social opprobrium, leftist social policies, and man-hating. That's it. And at the same time, imagining themselves some kind of oracles, goddesses, and seers. While destroying the social fabric of human civilization.
Women desiring and fighting for human rights? All power to them. But don't insult them by calling them feminists.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
(Maybe someday I'll tell you how I REALLY feel.)
An excellent illustration, among many others, that feminism in America was never about women but was about dividing America in order to conquer it. Same with racism, poor vs others, etc., and all the new politically correct stuff.
Due to fortune, I happened to attend (in the corner) of some feminist "womens' movement" meetings in Berkeley in the late 60s. The feminist movement was not hijacked, it started off bad and went downhill from them. The women who started it were lesbians, screeching and hateful, all smoking dope, and filled with unimaginable anger. I neither jest nor exaggerate. Oh, and they were all communists, and many advocated armed revolution. They just prettied it up a bit for public consumption.
No they aren't. Read my comments.
I feel fortunate indeed I got to witness what I did. And, of course, the "seminal" feminist writers all support what I saw/heard.
Destructive, evil, hateful.
"The intellect is a little bit like sexual ability: use it or you lose it"
I can only assume, based on her 'intellect', that her sexual ability has also entered the twilight zone.
As I've said all along, they are feminists, their communists.
So much truth in a single article. I feel dizzy!
I remember reading a lot of that early feminist literature too. I was not only taken aback by their openly anti-male tone but also their attacks of western society and capitalism. What a lot of pro-feminists today are ignorant of or unwilling to face is that the great majority of feminists were lunatics. But naturally the mainstream press, then as now, regurgitated all their wacky pronouncements as if issued from a pantheon of female geniuses... instead of the virulently anti-male/anti-American wack jobs they really were...and still are.
One time I quoted Steinem's "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" line to my wife. "Why I never heard of that" she said. But I guess fish are riding bicycles nowadays seeing that even Steinem got hitched a few years ago.
"Steinem married David Bale, a South African businessman, in a Cherokee ceremony conducted by her friend Wilma Mankiller. The bride wore jeans, and the couple subsequently referred to each other not as husband and wife but as "the friend I married". For three years they split their time between his home in LA and hers in New York (she has lived in the same flat since 1968), but in 2003 Bale was diagnosed with brain lymphoma.... He died just over a year ago. Steinem had grown close to his four children - among them Christian Bale, the actor."
