Feminism is now a means of excusing behavior that should never be tolerated. It’s also used as a means to sue someone who looks at them in waht said feminist thinks is a wrong way.

Steinem said "you become a semi-nonperson when you get married," ...

Common lore expresses a similarly dire view of marriage from the male point of view. What could be the attraction?

I don’t know if “feminism” is such a hot topic. The Muslim Brotherhood mandates female circumcision, and none of the so-called U.S. feminists are against rolling back Egypt’s law against that brutal practice.

Phyliss:

The feminists don't know what to say about Sarah Palin, but they can't resist talking about her. They can't deal with the facts that she has a successful career, a cool husband and lots of kids; and it's salt in the feminists' wounds that she's pretty, even while wearing glasses.

Simple observation: So long as ‘feminists’ continue to turn a blind eye to the Muslim world, they will forever lack any moral standing on the one topic they identify themselves with. An abolitionist can not say that slavery’s just fine in the Arab world and continue to hold any moral underpinning.

Thus, feminism is dead. Perhaps it can be revived.

There was also a book written a few years back by a former (I would guess token) male member of the National Organization for Women (NOW) called The Myth of Male Power written as a once true-believer become disaffected by having to face up to fact after fact, and how the movement was unconcerned with the truth, hostile if presented with it.

Prediction for the feminist handling of Sarah Palin: she will be charged as so affected by the 'patriarchy' that she is no longer able to recognize how (so feminists must tell us), and serves to further her 'disenfranchisement' with everything she does and says (that isn't in service of feminist screed). ie. Up is down...

Touche. If Palin get Schlafly’s endorsement in the race, she’ll have one heckuva feather in her cap.

As a mom to many sons, I can say that one unfortunate result of feminism is the wussification of many American males. Feminists want boys to act like girls and to have situations set up so there is always a level playing field in all areas. It has become an increasingly difficult challenge to allow boys to succeed and to be proud of their successes. I also have daughters and when they whine that their brothers beat them in some activity and it isn’t fair, I tell them too bad. Either work harder to become better or don’t play.

Compare this column to the one you posted last year.

Phyllis Schlafly: No Women, Sarah Palin Included, Ready for White House
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2559510/posts

I think Governor Sarah Palin is growing on her.

Feminists showed their true colors when they concocted the “First Grope Free” doctrine to excuse Bill Clinton’s escapades with Monica Lewinski.

They lost more ground when they expanded it to give him a “First Grope Free” on every female within his long reach.

When even that wasn’t enough to excuse his serial groping they just decided to ignore his sexual abuse of women entirely.

When their policy of ignoring abusers of women was extended to musims for their institutionalized treatment of females as second class citizens, the forced wearing of burkas, and serious abuses like forced circumcision, honor killings, whipping and stoning, the feminist movement lost all credibility.

Today the idea of feminisim is laughable - the movement has been reduced to a charade. They are a bunch of bitter hags, lesbians and aborters who exist to perpetuate abortion and elect democrats.

"Feminism is a structural analysis of a world that oppresses women, an ideology based on the notion that patriarchy exists and that it needs to end."

Feminism is a hateful instrumental lie propagated by international Communism to weaken, etiolate, and ultimately ruin Western Civilization.

That feminism is Communism is proven by recourse to the c.v. of Betty Friedan (assumed name), who as a high-school and college student was an ardent Communist and left college to go to work for a Communist union newspaper.

Her sob story about leaving college for a man who then dumped her is a lie. She sacrificed her college degree on the altar of international Communism.

As Catholic novelist Mary McCarthy said about another Communist "celebrity", playwright Lillian Hellman, "she lies even when she uses words like 'and' and 'the'."

Up is down...

"Freedom is slavery", "Love is Hate" ..... Did Orwell have those pigs nailed, or what?

They are so odious.

How many divorces, how many abortions, how much marital unhappiness should be laid at the door of these women? The temperature of hell goes up 20oF every time one of these cows falls into it.

Another contributing factor, a (woman) friend and health bug tells me, is the lavish use of estrogen by dairy farmers to bump output. The estrogen, unmetabolized, is getting into the milk, and then into the other dairy products. She said a study showed that boys who drink a lot of milk have shown developmental retardation in their "tweens", and reduced testicle size from birth. "Houston, we have a problem." Maybe growing boys need to be given something other than dairy.
