Thank you, Barbara Boxer, for hammering the final nail in the coffin of angry and irrelevant pseudo-feminism. If there were any life left in its wheezing and flailing body, her latest experiment in the utterly ridiculous effectively pulled the plug.
The venomous brand of feminism that cuts men off at the knees to make women arbitrarily taller is no longer credible. When Boxer had the audacity – and some would argue, questionable mental clarity – to publicly scold a US Army general for calling her “ma’am” instead of “senator,” it telegraphed to the rest of the world the sheer inanity of today’s modern feminism, a rusting relic of the 60’s that’s been pushed so far to the extreme borders of relevance that it actually has Boxer hearing things. Yes, in today’s feminism, calling a woman “ma’am” is a mark of disrespect.
But calling another woman a “slutty flight attendant” is apparently hilarious. Never mind that the woman is a United States Governor, the first woman to hold that post in her state, and the youngest. Never mind that she’s an accomplished and hard-working, self-made woman and mother of five. Because she’s a Republican, she’s fair game for the lunatic left who, when it comes to Sarah Palin, seems to have forgotten their Feminism For Dummies handbook at their beach houses.

With Pelosi irrationally attacking the integrity of the CIA, and Boxer publicly criticizing an Army general for a totally imagined slight, it’s a wonder women are taken seriously at all anymore. And as one, I admit I’m more than a little embarrassed by their behavior. They do not speak for me.

Patty Murray is a good reason that the name of the state of Washington should be changed.
The military is conditioned to address people as sir and maam. Barbara Boxer is a useless moron who should have been put out to pasture by the voters of California a very long time ago.

I see a new career for her: ‘Actress’ in a film produced in the San Fernando Valley, titled “Senator MILF”.
Yeah, that works...
I’ve always resented the stupid generation of feminazi’s that preceded my coming of age and screwed everything up for those of us who know how to really be a woman. Sarah Palin is a liberal feminist’s worst nightmare come true. Sarah like so many of us out here know how to live a good,decent productive life and have fun being a woman without having to resort to denigrating the male of our species.
She is a big part of Californias disaster. It started 40 years ago.
I’ve always been a male chauvinist. Is it okay to come back out of that closet now?
It’s getting harder for Hillary to elbow Bammy aside now.
Uuughh!
Does the “M” stand for moron?
Good article. Who is the woman who wrote it, I am not familiar with her work but would like to read more of her stuff.
I remember Ted Kennedy's attempt to unseat Jimmy Carter in 1980. Ted said some pretty harsh things about the incumbent democRAT. All true, of course. But in the end Ted had too much baggage.
I think its MO
Ok, never mind I looked her up on the Net, she sounds intelligent and conservative and she is also cute! Thanks again for posting the article.
No prob. She also appears occasionally as a commentator on Fox.
and, that is why good men are as hard to find as raisins in cheap cereal!
Sarah Palin scares the left shitless and that is the reason they try to destroy her. But she fights em right back so good for her. I think most true conservative women have guts to spare. They are feisty fighters much like the way Margaret Thatcher was in Great Britain and she and Ronald Reagan together madea great pair of patriots! Thatcher didn’t take crap from anybody and neither does Palin.
It’s not dead, yet, but feminists will start heading for the nursing homes in large enough numbers by the time of the next election. By then, the most sought-after votes will come from man-hating nurses’ aides voting for demented incompetents.
Ditto for me. I love the ening of the article, too.
“With Pelosi irrationally attacking the integrity of the CIA, and Boxer publicly criticizing an Army general for a totally imagined slight, it’s a wonder women are taken seriously at all anymore. And as one, I admit I’m more than a little embarrassed by their behavior. They do not speak for me.
So I’d like to go on record and say that soldiers everywhere are free to call me “ma’am,” with no fear of retribution. But I do have an admittedly bizarre request in return: Please don’t call me “slutty” or some similar derivative. It sounds crazy and counter-intuitive, I know – but I guess I’m just an old-fashioned gal.”
Feminism died when they didn’t raise a peep about Clinton/Lewinsky.
