I’ve been following the Althouse - Feministing battle of the boobs a little, and it’s been fun to watch Althouse lay down the I-was-a-feminist-before-you-were-even-in-diapers smack. It is ridiculous for a feminist blogger to stand in a look-at-my-boobs pose right in front of Bill Clinton in a group picture. I haven’t kept up with […]

Some things that are floating through my head after wandering around the blogs:
I get the impression from some feminist blogs that they really hold both these beliefs, at the same time: 1) Abstinence does not prevent either pregnancy or STDs, and 2) Condoms are super-magical, perfectly reliable protection against both pregnancy and STDs–most of […]

MFH brought home The Da Vinci Code, on loan from his boss, but he wanted to read the preceding book first. So I read it. It was entertaining, but the theology was so horribly wrong that I suspect the author of being on the payroll of Satan’s Propaganda Department. Read the Old […]

Is it too early to get an “Anyone But Hillary” bumper sticker?

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.

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 […]

We spent the weekend here, to celebrate our first anniversary. It is a very restful place.
For Halloween, we had only a dozen or so trick-or-treaters, so we have lots of candy left. MFH concocted a magic chili potion, for a chili cook-off at work today.
Feminist blogs are all in a tizzy […]

This morning I read notes for an old speech that Miers had given in 1993. Captain Ed said this speech was the straw that pushed him off the fence, toward opposing her nomination. Certainly it is poorly written, even for something that was to be delivered as a speech. I had to […]

I found this post from The Quietist through MaxedOutMama; well worth reading.
