OK, how would you rebut this?

The devaluation of life in our society has been proceeding apace in lockstep with such "womanist" practices as abortion and partial-birth infanticide.

In this climate of matriarchal violence it is unsurprising that attacks on innocent adults occur, when "womanism" advocates the murder of innocent children.

You're not supposed to be able to rebut this sort of thing, by design. There's this "invisible epidemic" that nobody can see, but it's there, really, trust us!

Doing something silly, like, say, asking for evidence to support such a claim is how you out yourself to them, and reveal what a retrograde, anti-womanist Neanderthal you really are. Hell, you probably watch football on Sundays, thus demonstrating how you've "elevated violence", don't you?

Nope, you're just supposed to swallow this stuff whole, fall into line, and baa baa baa like a good little sheep womanist.

I'd tell her to use a good bikini wax on her upper lip, let her hair grow a bit, lose 50 pounds, eat more beef, and hire a male prostitute every once in a while.

Operative word: patriarchal. I would take issue with this statement in its full context of feminist theory, that MAN is responsible for all the violence she speaks of. There is no question we live in a world that condones violence. Our own country tolerates the destruction of unborn infants on a daily basis.

But to lump the source of all violence into a box labeled Christian white male is ridiculous, and I believe that implicit suggestion is what this writer believes.

It is well known that Robin Morgan is mentally instable and has been for quite some time. Why try to balance logic against irrationality? It is impossible. This is exactly how clinton got us in the mess we are in. This form of "debate" is one of our current and major weakness.

Why bother? It's psycho-babble.

Aha, there's the rub. For you cannot fight that which will not be made visible... This woman should get the same treatment that's given to everyone else who sees giant green caterpillars crawling up your trousers...
