Some feminists are dissing Laura Bush and the Bush administration's recent support of the Afghan women.
Gloria Steinem is taking potshots about the difference between the "rhetoric" and "reality" of advocacy and claiming that the Bush policies may amount to "gender apartheid." New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd calls the support "hollow."

Excellent analysis and a priceless quote. Why can outsiders see what's going on here better than the natives?
Shalom.
Heh-heh-heh-heh..........
It tickles me even more that she has no idea why Mrs. Bush is so well respected.
At my kids' schools there is one teacher who is very popular and one teacher who wants to be. The popular teacher is popular because she is a good teacher who really likes her students. She doesn't do anything to try to be liked other than to do her job as well as she knows how and take a natural interest in her students.
The less popular teacher (LPT) is really jealous of the popular teacher. LPT is doing everything she can to displace the popular teacher except learn to teach better and take a natural interest in the students. LPT tries to badmouth the other teacher. She tries to give the students a break. She tries to befriend them outside of class. She and Hillary just don't get it.
Before they can like you they have to respect you. And they know the difference between someone worthy of respect and a prostitute trying to sell themselves for profit.
Shalom.
You'd think it would be so easy considering Hillary is the most intelligent woman on the earth wouldn't you.
Sort of like the difference between the "rhetoric" and the "reality" of feminists who b!tched about sexual harassment on a daily basis for years, but disappeared into the muck of their own political agenda when Bill Clinton was faced with a very credible rape allegation.
Why are ther top FemiNAZI whores named Elenor? Roosevelt, Cliff and now Smeal. Just by her name she sounds like a whiner....ah winner!
"The left wing of feminism is desperate to own this issue".
AND
"But feminist advocates are unwilling to share the moral high ground".
Only liberals are compassionate, don’t you know? They can’t stand it when a Conservative actually cares about women or better yet, as any influence on public thought. Their sanctimony is nauseating to me.
(Yes, I’m new. Howdy. I love Laura Bush! She’s my old governors wife).
They have no one to give "lip" service to.
These amoralist bimbos will whail, whine and moan like nymphomaniacs with homosexual husbands until another perverted "Caligula" comes to the presidency.
Well...shooting from the hip?
I'd have to say that'd be due to our being a good-deal more screwed-up than they are?
...just a guess.
That's because if they weren't feminists, they'd go by "Ellie" or their middle name.
I find most women who go by "Judith" to be humorless feminists. Most who go by "Judy" are not....
The liberal feminists don't want equality, they want to pronounce themselves as superior, if just for a little while. They do this in their magazines, and think they can increase their stature by belittling men. What's equal in that? And androgyny doesn't exist in the sense that I'm using it--as an attitude.
tee hee
Well, you know, as Al Gore said, people make mistakes. And even if Bill Clinton did rape her, he's done so much good, you know, that you can sort of overlook that mistake. I'm sure Gloria Steinham would agree.
Actually, that would be a good way to reduce the overcrowded conditions in our jails. We should have all the rapists do community service, then be let out of jail when the community service is over. Sounds like a good idea, don't you think? </sarcasm>
Shalom.
And it really gripes their cookies when a Conservative achieves results.
Results? What's that? Once the photo-op is over the issue is resolved, isn't it?
Shalom.
And when you consider that "they" are from a so-called third-world country, that really says something, doesn't it?
Shalom.
Good call. IMO: The opposite extreme is just as bad - trying to befriend the kids. You don't need to be their jailor and you don't need to be their buddy. Neither will gain respect. The students will respect someone who tries to teach them as an adult teacher to a youth student. Any attempt at any other relationship is bound to lead to grief.
Shalom.
