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 [...]

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 [...]
Review: Why Women Should Rule the World
Surprisingly, Dee Dee Myers, the first female White House spokesperson, presents a fair and reasonable explanation of feminism in this book, Why Women Should Rule the World. With the exception of the first chapter, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s conversational and entertaining. She’s not preachy with her views and shares interesting insights into the Clinton [...]
The 'Is She a Feminist' Game
As an observer of feminism, self-described feminists entertain me with their repeated, “is she a feminist” or “is she feminist enough” game. By this point, they’ve done it to literally every one in the public spotlight with two X chromosomes. I’ve written at length about the Sarah Palin debates, which always veer from her political [...]

There are few new arguments in the abortion debate, which is heating back up thanks to health care. Honestly, abortion comes down to perspective. Those on the pro-life side view the issue from the perspective of the unborn. Thanks to neo-natal medicine, it’s difficult to argue that life doesn’t start at conception or very shortly [...]

This has been a tough week. Health care has consumed nearly every minute and watching our Congressional leaders and President slowly shred the Constitution is painful. Last night, I even had a dream about health care legislation. This morning, Twitter (Thanks @lindsaysouza and @bonniekristian) sent me a distraction. I present the Manllow via ETSY. There’s [...]

If you’re like most Americans and too busy to read whiny feminist blogs, note that March is Women’s History Month. Christina Hoff Sommers has an article in the current Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute’s Policy Express on taking back the feminist movement and highlighting women’s history. It’s an absolute must read. She writes: But today [...]
My friend and fellow Tennessee transplant, Matthew Hurtt, posted these videos on his blog. The first one is the Dodge commercial that did catch the wrath of feminists who weren’t busy complaining about the “inherent violence” in the Focus on the Family spot. Both ads build on stereotypes. The feminist answer perpetuates the wage gap [...]
What is Female Empowerment?
A post at Hot Air covers the anti-life/Tebow debate currently going on from an interesting perspective. After reading it, I started wondering if the true debate over feminism and all the underlying issues is the definition of female empowerment? Doctor Zero writes: It’s nostalgic to read a press release from NOW again. The organization was [...]
It's Controversial to Celebrate Life
Nearly every news outlet and blog has a post or story about the pro-life Tim Tebow commercial to be aired during the Superbowl on CBS. I fail to see why this is a big deal. The Tebows, a strong Christian family with misguided football loyalties, made a commercial with Focus on the Family about their [...]
