No room for a barf alert on the headline. My wife received this e-mail from a former colleague who apparently was under the misperception that since my wife is a female, she must beholden to the disfigured world view of the feminists.

Many things stir my anger in this message and I've bolded some of the most outrageous statements. I read an article this weekend about how feminism is essentially a 'New' Age religion. How clear that it is from this tripe.

By way of introduction, this is the description that was included with the e-mail: Most of you probably know the work of poet Robin Morgan (recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Prize), founder of the Sisterhood is Powerful Institute (an international womanist think-tank), author of 14 books (including, a little over a decade ago, *The Demon Lover: On the Sexuality of Terrorism*), the 1990 Feminist Majority Foundation Woman of the Year, and the former editor-in-chief of Ms. Magazine. This is a letter she sent to her friends after the bombings. It is a wonderful reflection on many aspects of all this......

It would be laughable....if it weren't so sad.

[Balto_Boy]

...but that such acts occur in a daily climate of patriarchal violence so epidemic as to be invisible in its normality...

OK, how would you rebut this?

[martin gibson]

A rat is a dog is a pig is a feminist.

(With profound apologies to rats, dogs and pigs...)

[Callahan]

This woman resides on the lunatic fringe, just like the terrorists.

[Texican72]

a number of us have noted that for years we've tried everything to get the US to move forcibly against the Taliban

On one hand, she abhors violence, on the other, she asks for violence. Unless "forcibly" has a meaning I don't know.

[PoisedWoman]

Violence IS psychosis

Feminism IS psychosis as we can clearly see in this message.

a network of safe houses is already being set up to shelter and help innocent Arab or Muslim civilians

Let me repeat that:

a network of safe houses

Does anyone else NOT trust this?

[Dr. Frank fan]

not even worth reading

[xm177e2]

we've tried everything to get the US to move forcibly against the Taliban, given the literal attempted genocide of women and girls in today's Afghanistan

I think someone needs to look up the meaning of the word "genocide."

Even "gendercide" would not be appropriate now, because women are not systematically eliminated just for being women, like they are in China and India through pre-natal screening and then abortions.

[tet68]

a network of safe houses is already being set up to shelter and help innocent Arab or Muslim civilians who might be persecuted in the wake of this tragedy.

FBI might take a dim view of that.

Don't suppose she's considered that real terrorists might be mixed in. Useful idiots indeed!

[Rodney King]

police, state troopers, and emergency personnel on every corner below 14th St., with trucks filled with Guardsmen, rifles bayoneted and at ready,

It's amazing how leftists live in fantasy worlds. I seriously doubt that these guys had bayonets on their rifles. It does not change anything, but once someone is caught making up somthing simple, you have to wonder what else she just makes up when she feels like it.

[NoClones]

One notes that little, missie morgan is free to do as she chooses, protected by a US military to spout her bullcrap around the world via an internet that had its beginning from the same military.

If it is so oppressive to her here, one wonders why doesn't she go offer herself to mr. osinful dustbin laden?

[Liberal Classic]

...and especially the eroticization and elevation of violence as a form of "manhood" and "solution."

"eroticization"? Sometimes a cigar, is just a cigar. I'm amazed how these folks can turn anything into sexual oppression.

[lady lawyer]

I spent three years listening to this feminist horse manure at the UN. This woman is an idiot.

[FormerLib]

Son of a gun, she was so upset, she forgot to mention either 'testosterone' or 'red meat!'

[N00dleN0gg1n]

This morning I was touched to learn that the Pagan and Wiccan community is doing the same thing, in the name of religious freedom from persecution.

Idiots. If they're really interested in "religious freedom from persecution" their first priority should be helping the US fight the Taliban.

[thinking]

Ever wonder where they get the money to support their efforts???

LOL!

What a coincidence! One of my favorite _books_ about terrorists was compiled by a British journalist who interviewed a couple of dozen women terrorist and published the transcripts. She titled the book after adivce given new anti-terrorists soldiers: "Shoot the Women First," by Eileen MacDonald

It's great reading! Mark W.

[Dakmar]

Come baby, admit it. You're starvin' for ol' Dakmars love rocket, aincha? < /idiotic foolishness off >

[Whilom]

Dear Robin. First the good news. You are no longer a whining ant on the ass of an elephant. Now the bad. You are a speck of sawdust from the 73rd floor of WTC on the cresting tsunami of history. Don't call if you ever get back to our world again.
