Tweet Women have been responsible for some pretty bad presidents. Warren Harding leaps most easily to mind, since his was the first presidential election in which women participated, but women were also water carriers for JFK and Bill Clinton. The Barack Obama campaign clearly hoped to capitalize on women’s bad habit of voting for bad [...]

Tweet In 1920, for the first time, American women had the right to vote in a federal election. Warren G. Harding won that election by a landslide and, rightly or wrongly, he went down as the president whose dashing good looks and insouciance so charmed American women that they put him in the White House. [...]

Tweet UPDATE from Bookworm: Poor Enrico’s. Because its name features prominently on the building, people are assuming it posted the sign. It did not. From Enrico’s facebook page: You may have received an email about a sign that says “FU (spelled out) Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina” asking you to call Enrico’s Restaurant to complain. [...]

Tweet With the trigger being Obama’s obsession with niqabs and hijabs, I did a lengthy post about my belief that Obama fundamentally does not like women. He depends on strong women (his wife, Valerie Jarrett), but he doesn’t like them. In fact, I’m willing to bet that his dependence on them only increases that dislike. [...]

Tweet I need help from you guys developing a thought. The thought started with this picture of Michelle Obama in a deep-veed, fluffy blouse; a saggy sweater; a bondage belt; and the gypsy skirt from hell: Aside from the fact that the picture pretty much puts the lie forever to the media’s desparate attempt to [...]

Tweet There is no bliss inherent in the ignorance displayed by one judge in England: A judge lambasted a rapist for claiming his victim was a liar – then commended him for becoming a muslim. Judge Anthony Goldstaub QC sentenced Stuart Wood for seven years for the attack, then told him: ‘You have turned to [...]

Tweet I’m noticing an interesting pattern in Obama’s Muslim speeches. He thinks it’s a very good thing for women to cover up. In his Cairo speech, he made that point, not once, not twice, but three times. As I caught in the post I wrote at the time, he said: Moreover, freedom in America is [...]

Tweet A young British woman, raised in the North of England, escaped her abusive Muslim father and converted to Christianity, a fact that saw her father lead an axe wielding mob clamoring for her death. She wrote a book about her experience. When the Times interviewer asked why she didn’t seek help from the authorities, [...]

Tweet American feminists, who have done quite a number on Palin, are remarkably silent about the mind-boggling restrictions placed upon, and indignities visited upon, their sisters in Saudi Arabia: A new prohibition may be added to the long list of those placed on women in Saudi Arabia: A new sentence according to Islamic law (fatwa) [...]
Bookworm on Oct 04 2008 | Filed under: San Francisco, Women
Tweet I found fascinating the fact that, even in San Francisco, the most liberal, diverse, open to everything (except conservatism and religion) city in the whole US (except for Berkeley), women are not making headway in politics: In a year when gender has played a significant role in the presidential campaign – 18 million people [...]
Bookworm on Sep 09 2008 | Filed under: Feminism, Sarah Palin, Women
Tweet In the past couple of days, I’ve read more than a few articles in which liberal women express incendiary anger about Sarah Palin. I blogged yesterday about Michelle Cottle’s screed, and today read equally over-the-top material from Judith Warner (h/t The Anchoress) and Heather Malick (h/t Small Dead Animals). In each of these articles, [...]

Tweet I don’t know how much difference this will make, but it’s a petition to show that the media is wrong — women will and do support Sarah Palin. Hat tip: Bloggers for John McCain
Bookworm on Sep 05 2008 | Filed under: Feminism, Sarah Palin
Tweet After pointing out how ignoble the attack on Palin is coming from the self-appointed coastal elites, Victor Davis Hanson sums up how Palin is the ultimate feminist triumph: Sarah Palin is the emblem of what feminism was supposed to be all about: an unafraid, independent, audacious woman, who soared on her own merits without [...]

Tweet This is kind of cool — I’m on a list that Michelle Malkin heads! The young man who runs the Enkay Blog has assembled a list of the top 100 female bloggers and I’m currently in there at number 78. Of course, if this list gets more play (and he hopes it does and [...]
