Aren’t conservatives consistently accused of intolerance? We’re intolerant for questioning the mosque at Ground Zero. We’re intolerant for opposing gay marriage based on the tenets of our faith. We’re intolerant because we’re concerned that illegal immigrants fill up the welfare rolls and commit crimes in the U.S. But you never hear the intolerance of the [...]
The Intolerance of Feminists

One arguments against the feminist movement is that they sold out to Bill Clinton in order to advance their political interests within the Democratic Party. For years, conservatives and independents have lobbed this point at feminists, and that leftist group of women have always responded that it was “just about sex” or “Monica was a [...]

Sometimes the writers at Feministing infuriate me. Other times, like today, I laugh and laugh and laugh at them. Two weeks ago, SarahPAC released the now famous Mama Grizzlies video. Within hours, there were hundreds of blog posts, articles and tweets examining the video. Almost all of it was positive. There was even begrudging praise [...]
Liberal Women: Shut The F#$&! Up
Once again, a columnist at HuffPo proclaims that conservative women are not real women because none of the women she knows are…pro-life. In Sarah Palin’s recent video, she talks about “a lot of women coming together to get things done for our country.” I also know a lot of women coming together and enacting change [...]

Be careful for what you wish. The fem blogs finally noticed the craziness going down in South Carolina. Rather than use this as an opportunity to attack the establishment good ol’ boy network, they question if the allegations were true. Note the Jezebel‘s headline, which is the only fem outlet to cover this story the [...]
Given the news over Rush Limbaugh’s wedding, an angst-filled post was expected from those women of depth over at Feministing. What surprised me was the ageist angle that the gals took. We definitely need to worry about protecting the sanctity of straight marriage–otherwise how could family values men like Rush Limbaugh get married four times, [...]
Is this sexist?
Asylum, which appears to be a site geared towards guys under 35, has an article about interpreting a woman’s flirting body language. Feministing highlights it, and calls it “the most ridiculous, over-hyped piece of sexist schlock.” Is it over-hyped sexism? You be the judge.

Imagine that a woman is running for office. She’s a pro-abortion Democrat and is leading in the polls. Two weeks before a contentious primary, a political blogger claims to have conducted an affair with the candidate. The only problem: this blogger has a questionable past with a court record for violence against women, a fascination [...]
