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.

Good idea. Or we could change NOW to THEN.
Boxer = Box-o-Rocks
I think she’s been on Hannity once or twice too...
But she's NOT an E cupp, despite her name.
Cheers!
she’s on Red Eye a lot and also Hannity’s panel. She’s smart and attractive, she could be the future ex Mrs. Isom35.
Unfortunately yes, a lot of women fall for the mantra that is socialism. Sadly to their own demise, not to mention the demise of the family unit and the nation.
I sent S.E. a nice big THANK YOU!
Stay right where you are, chauvy. We already have our hands full putting up with your female counterparts, the lunatic feminazies.
I dunno
the media and academia continue to brainwash our youth unabated
AMEN, Bless you for that Nellie. I couldn’t agree more.
SE is on Hannity a lot, and I have seen her on other FOXNEWS programs do. Gorgeous and smart, just like most conservative women. A young, strong conservative.
All this showed was that Babs Boxers is TOTALLY IGNORANT of military culture and protocol.
In the military, everyone who is senior to you is addressed as either “sir” or “ma’am.”
If a private is addressing a female lieutenant, he says “yes, ma’am.” If a three-star general is addressing a four-star general, who happens to be female, the three-star general addresses the four-star general as “ma’am.” It is not only a sign of respect, it is utterly required by military culture.
So when this general called Babs “ma’am,” he did so solely and completely b/c, as a Senator, she “out-ranks” him, not technically, but in terms of protocol. In fact, to go out of his way to not call her “ma’am,” in military culture, would be a sign of disrespect.
For example, if a LT continually said “Yes, Captain” to a female CPT, rather than “yes, ma’am.”
Babs not only showed that feminazism is soooo 20th century, she demonstrated unequivocally that she is an ignoramus.
Whooa there. I am a woman who does not need to be taught how to think, to reason and to base my opinions on actual facts.
My point is: Please don't generalize---there are plenty of savvy women while there are also plenty of very stupid men.
Just a bit of advice---no "I'm sorry" required. You didn't insult me, you simply ignored the many intelligent and sensible women.
As the comanchero said in “Outlaw Josey Wales”: “If one of ya has to, you can use that old woman over there. She’s worth maybe one donkey.”
From someone who's been an adult since back in the '60s, I saw trouble brewing from this movement. My first observation was that women who bought into NOW (National Organization for Women) gradually began taking needed jobs from men. From there we watched as women, including married women with children, were encouraged to educate themselves and become "career women". Not much, if any value was attached to a mother staying home and caring for her children, even infants.
When married women were able to bring home a very nice salary, they no longer were dependent on their husbands. As a result, his role as dad greatly changed.
The number of divorces skyrocked to about 50%, many children no longer live in a home with a mother and father, and many are forced to live, or spend time with, a parent and their significant other, like it or not.
I believe NOW and other organizations like it contributed greatly to these destructive results.
bump
I have female counterparts? Last time I looked, all my parts were already female. :-D
I just took you at your word, despite your screen name. Must have missed something.LOL
;-D
she demonstrated unequivocally that she is an ignoramus.
@@@@
ABSOLUTELY! BOTH FEET IN MOUTH! She is dumb as a box of rocks!
Barbara boxer had no problem when Barack called her charming or “a Cutie”. She just as a problem with a General calling her Ma’am. I think she just doesn’t like being called “Late for Dinner”. See the youtube video
