This is proof that feminism is penis envy!??

LOL, this is proof that this female undergrad at Harvard is a total idiot. I love the Harvard educator who said: "Women do not need to be reminded of the power of the symbol of the male genitalia." Oh, get real: that's almost as bad as Search4's declaration: this idea that we women obsess on not having a penis is laughable.

I'm a feminist -- as in I'm for equal rights for individual women according to their abilities -- and I think all good conservatives and people of substance are feminists in that sense. I resent the Harvard women in this story, and NOW, and most of the liberal feminist groups, for associating feminism with being a liberal. I'm for treating people as individuals and not according to any group characteristics -- all rights for every one, including white men who are so picked-upon by these "feminists" who don't speak for me.

But, as a woman, I have to tell y'all, in case you're confused: actually, we don't envy you guys It. I think healthy women appreciate It, but envy? LOL -- I mean, it's like a guy saying that he envies women being able to give birth. I have never heard a guy say that. So, in reality, I don't think envy is the source of this Harvard woman's confusion. I think liberalism is.

Personally, if I saw that sculpture and I was in a playful mood, I might have gone and built two large snow-sculpture breasts to compete with it! :)

Oh really! A REAL woman would have run out and attached a picture of one of the guys' face to it, or some other such nonsense. Can you imagine the energy it must take to live your life taking these kinds of things seriously!

Well it appears that some women do need to be reminded of the fact that it is a man's world, and that women enjoy only the freedoms that men are willing to provide them, or not. Just ask the women in Third World countries.

American women owe every freedom they enjoy to an American man. That fact enrages feminists, for they do not want to feel any indebtedness to men. It interferes with their misdirected contempt for men - a contempt that extends to all things masculine, and IMHO is the result of issues with their fathers.

Must be lonely being a Conservative Feminist.
