Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
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
Continue readingIn 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
Continue readingI 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
Continue readingI’m not naming names, but my career as a soccer mom has me hanging with one of the most powerful women in America. Strange world.
Continue readingThis 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
Continue readingHonest to God, I really do wonder sometimes if the garden-variety fusion betwen Islamic and Arabic culture is salvageable: A teenage Iraqi girl who fell in love with a British soldier when he was in Basra was murdered by her father in an “honour killing”, it was revealed today. Rand
Continue readingA few weeks ago, I linked to a Right Wing News post about top female bloggers. John Hawkins is back with another in the series, which again describes some of the garbage hurled at prominent conservative women who blog, and their grounded courage in dealing with this stuff. This time,
Continue readingIf you haven’t already read Heather MacDonald’s debunking of the “Rape Epidemic” on college campuses, you must. The whole article is replete with gems such as this one: The campus rape movement highlights the current condition of radical feminism, from its self-indulgent bathos to its embrace of ever more vulnerable
Continue readingHardcore stuff for real women. And two jokes: Joke, the first: A man comes home from work one day to find the house in complete chaos. The kitchen is piled high with dirty dishes, food is strewn across the floor, the living room looks like a bomb hit it, and
Continue readingFor those of you still wondering about what life will be like in the resurgent Islamic 7th century, here’s a bit more information, this time out of Saudi Arabia: A court in the ultra-conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia is punishing a female victim of gang rape with 200 lashes and
Continue readingA friend of mine who has, over the years, proven remarkably prescient in diagnosing global ills, told me after 9/11 that a significant element in Islam’s rage against the West has to do with women — Islam demands the total subjugation of women, and Islamists view the West as a
Continue readingBack in December 2004, I wrote a post over at my old blog site about how difficult life is in the 21st Century for June Cleaver. Since Blogger posts, after a certain period of time, lose all formatting, I’ll reprint it here, in an easy to read format: I’ve been
Continue readingSome Saudi women are bravely taking a stand and trying to overturn the prohibition against women drivers in that medieval theocracy: For the first time ever, a group of women in the only country that bans female drivers have formed a committee to lobby for the right to get in
Continue readingIn the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, a very common expression was that “the rich get richer and the poor get children.” In China, that’s been turned on its head. Not only do the rich (probably) get richer, they also get the children — and their Communist overlords are
Continue readingI’m reading Gone With The Wind again, for the first time in about 30 years. I didn’t mean to, but I found a lovely, perfectly clean copy at Goodwill for $1.49 and couldn’t resist buying it (such a bargain). And then, of course, once it was in the house, I
