Heh–Lileks comments on feminist complaints about patriarchalism in who does the cleaning:
I was a half-slob once and a mostly-slob before that. Now I do all the housework and child care and do not feel as though I am making some Brave Stand Against Predominant Sexual Paradigms. It’s not like I get boobs when I mop.
I […]
I’ve been thinking about this passage a bit lately, especially with the recent anniversary of Roe v. Wade:
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God, […]
Feministing.org explains the rules of feminism:
Feminism is about choice, and the first “choice” is what you want “equality” to mean.
An example:
1. Feminism requires you to talk about “equality” for both sexes but some sexes are more equal than others.
Presenting: the worst analogy I’ve seen in quite a while. Summary: having to carry a baby to term is like being forced to build a bicycle by a random stranger. What the … ? The writer implies that pro-lifers are itching to go around begetting progeny through rape. […]
I’m very pleased that the Ladies Against Feminism are actively posting articles again! Don’t miss this one, especially, which comments on some of the recent debates about feminism, including the infamous Linda Hirshman article (that I wrote about here):
Amazing, isn’t it? Echoes Vivian Gornick, who wrote 24 years ago, “Being a housewife is an […]
Dr. Sanity is talking about identity politics, and feminism in particular, again. One sentence, in particular, seemed pertinent to my recent post on feminism:
Their objective now is maintaining women’s victimhood, so they can eternally be the champions of the oppressed.
Here is a discussion of feminism and anti-feminism, that I actually pretty much agree with, because of how they define the terms:
Well, that’s nice - but it’s not feminism. Feminism is and has always been about activism; feminists are trying to change society. In particular, feminism is about changing society so that women, who are […]
I found this article by Linda Hirshman through Joanne Jacobs, and it’s a real feminist stinker. It’s long, so you might as well go and read the whole thing first.
The blurb that goes with it is:
“Choice feminism” claims that staying home with the kids is just one more feminist option. Funny that most men […]
It’s SNOWING!!!! We have about an inch so far. Fairly windy, though, so maybe it will blow through here too quickly to accumulate much on the ground.

Maxed Out Mama ties Proverbs 31 into her discussion of the patriarchy (!):
This vision of women as strong, industrious, directing businesses and investing money, beneficient, wise, unafraid […]
She has a long, but excellent post on the dysfunctional Left.
She doesn’t spare feminists, either:
The main justification for the existence of the women’s movement these days is to support and expand the cult of victimhood that they have created among women. Modern feminists have become the mother, once happy to nurture her child and help […]
