I had a talk(argument) with one who told me that because I was a conservative married female,i was allowing my self to be a "brainless sexual slave to men".She also said a bunch of other really awful things that I won't repeat here.

Needless to say, I'm figuring she has no man in her life willing to live with her and put up with her "viewpoint". To a degree, radical feminism is a way for naturally-disagreeable women to feel self-righteous about being nasty

Very interesting blog. As a twenty-year enlisted Navy Veteran (retired last year), I was never on the side of placing women in harm's way. As the blogger stated, women have indeed served this country honorably in systems of support in the military without having to 'prove' anything to anyone. It is only because of the radical feminist movement that this is an issue at all. As Mrs. Schlafly noted on a local talk radio show some weeks ago, the majority of enlisted women (in all branches of service) are against being placed in combat zones. Not because we are lazy or stupid, but because the ENLISTED man, save for fighter pilots, often bear the brunt of any given attack. In short, more Blue Shirts (the Navy's term for the enlisted) are likely to get killed. On the other hand, the benefits of a 'Gender-neutral' force for female commissioned officers are endless, icluding future assignments in the Pentagon. Just another way to break the so-called "glass ceiling" that allegedly holds women back. Please don't get me wrong, ANY loss of life is tragic, commissioned or enlisted.

In case you haven't, I do recommend reading "The Kinder, Gentler Military: Can Today's Gender-Neutral Forces Still Fight and Win Wars?" by Stephanie Gutmann. In it she documents all that is wrong with the feminists' assault on the Armed Forces, and what corrective measures should be taken. And oh yes, she does name names as well, and they're not all Liberal Democrats, either.

I agree.But I think this woman had a special vendetta against me.She hated absolutely everything that I am.First off she could not fathom why I would choose to be a conservative.She chalked it up to me being "subjegated" by my husband.She hated the fact that I chose to stay home with my child instead of work.She said I was basicly a prostitute who traded sex for my husbands money.She hated that I was married.Its a Patriarchal institution of slavery according to Miss Feminazi.She hated who I chose to marry...A career military man in the infantry.You know the same old crap about men being cheaters,murderers,blah,blah,blah.I kept my cool by thinking about how revolting she sounded to everyone at the party besides myself,and how great and sane my responses to her sounded.:)

That is an excellant book. I read it about 2 or 3 years ago.I think when I get back to the post library I will check it out again just to refresh my memory.

...Not to mention how utterly unattractive they are! Save for Tammy Bruce-and I don't even think she considers herself a radical feminist anymore.
