Feminism Is Dead (Good Riddance)

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.

"I just took you at your word, despite your screen name. Must have missed something.LOL"

Ha ha ha! You're right! It should have been, "I've always been pro-men to the point of chauvinism." That just proves that although I'm a pedant, I'm [GASP!] not so perfect as I thought, and The Free Dictionary is my friend. :-D

Thanks for the vocabulary lesson. Seriously. Never too old to learn.
