The Mommy Wars Leave Out The Kids

There are some things I agree with in Erica Jong’s WSJ article, but there’s a lot I do not.  While she goes to great lengths to make the point that mothers shouldn’t feel guilty the point gets lost amid the guilt she dishes out.
Cooperative child-rearing is obviously convenient, but some anthropologists believe that it also [...]

Phyllis Schlafly Is Pro-Life… Sorta

I think she’s pro-life as long as the mother vows to raise the child to vote conservative.
“One of the things Obama’s been doing is deliberately trying to increase the percentage of our population that is dependent on government…For example, do you know what was the second biggest demographic group that voted for Obama? Obviously the [...]

The Oprah Presidency?

Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker must hate that she doesn’t have a penis. What else could I infer from her vapid column in today’s Washington Post, “Obama: Our first female president”. The premise of the piece is interesting, take Toni Morrison’s famous analogy that Bill Clinton was our first black president, and turn it on its [...]

I’m Glad I’m Raising A Buffy And Not A Bella

Given the Twilight series rage I purchased the books for my preteen daughter.  I mean, everyone was reading them.  Everyone was raving.  But…
My daughter doesn’t like Twilight.  She likes the Vampire Diaries and the Vampire Academy, so it isn’t the genre… It’s Twilight specifically.  Which I found perplexing, since the back covers all read pretty [...]

A Woman’s Place Is In The House (of Representatives)

This is from an actual newsletter sent from the Republican party in Ohio. It’s referencing the OH-13 House race, where the incumbent is Betty Sutton.

I know I keep seeing polls that show Democrats are in trouble in November. Sometimes, though, I have a hard time taking it seriously – specific Republicans are a [...]

Women Rule!

Politico has the scoop on a new study coming out of Stanford and the University of Chicago showing that in general, women lawmakers are better legislators than their male counterparts. Effectiveness was judged by the number of bills introduced, the number of co-sponsors for those bills (probably an indication of the popularity of the [...]

Being A Lady Means Never Having Any Fun

Eva Lorraine Molina at Townhall brings us a morality tale of how feminism is ruining women and means they’ll never get married.
The feminist movement’s war on conservatism in America has killed chivalry and trained too many women to think and act like men. As a result, many young conservative women do not know what it [...]

Bob Herbert’s Column Today Is A Must Read

We haven’t talked on Delaware Liberal about George Sodini, the right-wing misogynist who killed three women at a fitness club in Pittsburgh. He wrote some very disturbing things on his blog about race and women. Sodini was obsessed with women and sex and how he wasn’t getting his fair share (according to him). [...]

Why Don’t We Talk About The Real Victims – Fallen Politicians?

Last week’s News Journal brings us this wacky letter to the editor:
I enjoyed your June 26 editorial pointing out politically prominent men involved in adulterous relationships. There are many more, each representing hundreds of column inches of newsprint taking the same approach: “ain’t it awful” – “poor wronged wife” – “ruined career.” Other aspects might [...]

Products Targeted to Women Generally Tick Me Off

There’s a new candy bar being introduced, and it’s targeted to women. Here are some of the descriptions:
Try it in public.
A chocolate bar that shimmers. Definitely eat it with the lights on.
Finally a chocolate you don’t feel so guilty about eating.
Under 85 calories per finger. That’s a sexy little figure. Just [...]

Feminist-Approved Insults

As we discussed yesterday in my inaugural post, sometimes common expressions grate on feminists the wrong way. The main objection is to describing things that are undesirable in feminine terms, most especially terms for the female anatomy. Listen, I know it’s a hard habit to break because it is so pervasive (that’s the [...]
