Does this mean the militant unrestricted abortion on demand crowd is leaving the democratic party ? Please, please say it's true. That would be equivalent to the GOP chopping off their tea baggers.
This certainly wasn't Barbara Boxer's finest moment....and all the additional interpretation added by TCF....just where does she get all that insightful commentary ? Just goes to show, broadsheet is as partisan as candidates that run for office.
Your right in tune.
The point is feminists don't represent women...so they should stop pretending they do.
"our quote of the day/week/forever: "Girls, if boys say something that’s not funny, you don’t have to laugh.""
This is your quote of forever ?....really?
I bet girls all across the country/world just breathed a collective sigh of relief to hear this insightful comment for the ages.
This is not an analysis....it is ideological drivel. Another lesbian telling us men are not required....let's celebrate ! PS Every child does have a mother and father.....initially.
A majority of white women consistently vote republican. Keep that in mind. Note to Kate...stop repulsing men.
You really paint yourself into a corner when you say that the morality of abortion is not debatable. I would think even a majority of pro-choicers like myself still recognize there ARE moral issues at hand.
I suppose your saying feminism isn't fringe ? That may be true of the iFeminist group that has support from left, right and middle....but liberal feminism, is just a tiny little pink ghetto....hmmm just like broadsheet.
I had never heard of The Spearhead until you mentioned it, and I support gun control.....maybe I should paint you into the corner with...I dunno Valerie Solanas ?
As a men's rights supporter, if not activist, my view is these groups will continue to gain more and more power. The more light shown on feminist activism, the more fringe it looks. This blog is the one considered fringe by most of the country. Glenn Sacks allows his detractors to guest blog on his site and engage in online debate. Liberal feminism ?....not so much. The reasons are clear. I believe liberal feminism is the primary reason democrats will not and cannot hold on to majorities. You can't be anti-father and anti-family and still win elections. Search broadsheet and find a single post that is positive about fathers or traditional families....this is a man haters club throwing stones in their glass house.
I would stick to labeling this battle a pro-choice or pro-abortion rights battle. Last poll I saw showed only 40% support for generally available abortion.....not quite a ringing endorsement or a "women's rights" issue. How about liberal feminist rights ?...maybe Broadsheet girls rights.
Wait until the Repubs start driving home the fact that Obama bent over backwards to appease the special interest group that is feminism, and although men lost 75% of the jobs, most of the stimulus money went to public sector jobs that dont stimulate but keep the ladies happy....education, healthcare, govt.
From this writer ? From the woman who only stayed with her husband as long as she did so she could live off his money ? Now there's intimacy ! How many different subjects can MEW google before she runs out of things to hate about men ?
Recognizing danger and taking appropriate steps is not a free pass for criminals. The world as it should be has no relationship to the here and now.
I don't think anyone believes that the fact this girl was drinking means she deserves this horrific crime, but the point is, if the victim was not drinking...would it still have happened ? It's called avoidance, and I can tell you...it's exactly what I talked to my 14 year old daughter about. Drinking makes you open to doing things that you wouldnt do sober. Leaping from telling a girl she shouldnt be drinking (6 years younger than the legal law in my state) to victim blaming is exactly why liberal feminists have no credibility...you can't seem to discriminate between common sense and misogyny. As long as liberal feminism takes the position women should not only have the right to walk through the streets half naked and drunk, but exercise that right, you will remain fringe.
Or needs it ? There is a long, well documented history of abusive women and men that feed on giving/taking abuse. So it may very well be that not only does she need it...she does deserve it. Was MEW googling again ?
I'm disappointed that this post is the only time Nancy Pelosi gets any ink in this blog. Nancy's been the only one exercising any leadership on healthcare reform...and I'm kinda shocked it's gone unnoticed.
Has there ever been an end to recession that brought positive GDP growth and jobs in the first quarter of recovery ? I didn't think so.
Men grow more content as they age. Did everybody miss that fact that has been documented over and over ? Oops....doesn't fit the salon "skewer an aging white boy" ideology. Maybe it's men's happiness that is so frustrating for the puma crowd.
We can continue to pretend single motherhood is a good thing for boys, and continue to pass laws that make fatherhood unimportant, while gangs of boys run wild through the streets.
What in the world is a figurative buffalo springfield t-shirt ? Is it really necessary to have a he said/she said movie critic ? Personal politics really shouldnt drive all your reviews.
I support abortion coverage, but it doesn't change the fact that your propaganda on the subject is quite lame.
Given men are raped, murdered, robbed, and assaulted more than women, I wouldn't expect any changes from the use of date rape drugs on them.
