The Culture and Media Institute at Media Research Center put together a top ten list of attacks against conservative women. They write:

Much of the criticism was the worst sort of misogyny with a dose of violence and disgusting adolescent sex references thrown in for good measure. The media outlets in question ranged from Playboy magazine to MSNBC to Sirius XM radio and included comments from both men and women.

The message that rang through loud and clear was that perspectives from conservative women were not appreciated or welcomed, and if a woman stepped out of line, she deserved whatever treatment she received.

Aside from the Playboy incident, which only made news because of the overwhelming outrage on the right, how many of these stories did you hear about? NOW conveniently issues press releases when it suits their political interests, but where were they in attacking Keith Olbermann, Ed Schultz, Frontline or the Toronto Star?

Had someone tweeted a death wish for Gloria Steinem or written about violently attacking Katie Couric or Rachel Maddow, there would have been marches through the streets of Washington.

Feminists are always yammering about double-standards in our society. Why don’t they focus on the double-standard of not defending conservative women? That’s something they can realistically fix without involving the word “patriarchy.”
