Are Men Obsolete?

Sep 21, 2009 - By Robin of Berkeley July 22, 2009 http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/07/are_men_obsolete.html   When I snapped out of my left wing trance last year, I was lost in space.  I had no conservative friends and was clueless about web sites and books.     I had heard something vaguely about Talk Radio.  So I scanned my AM dial and found Michael Savage.  (It took several months, and a chat with a rather bemused new friend, before I even realized there were other hosts as well.)     Being a lifelong liberal, I'd never heard anybody like Savage in my life.  He yelled;  he called people "vermin."  He was unbridled masculinity, not the touchy feeling kind I was used to.  And he totally accepted himself:  his moods, passion, temper.     But what shocked me the most was his saying that men have become "feminized."  I'd never been so offended.  "Well, what's wrong with men being more feminine?"  I shouted back at my radio.  "Is there something wrong with femininity?"   Men being way more in touch with their yin and less with their yang sounded good to me. - 21 Comments

No Slacks in the Office: Reliving the Birth of Feminism

Oct 21, 2009 - This is an interview Lesley Stahl did with NY Times columnist Gail Collins... I think it's an interesting history lesson. LESLEY: So, Gail Collins, thank you very much for joining us today to talk about your new book When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present, which I have to say I loved and read and learned, because it’s about really the Women’s Movement from 1960 to today, which I obviously lived through; but there’s so much I didn’t know. - 5 Comments

the new feminist

Sep 11, 2008 - At lunch today I was browsing through the D.C. Examiner and came across this wonderful op-ed about how Sarah Palin is showing the country (and especially young girls) a new model of feminism. The writer, Meghan Cox Gurdon (and I) welcome this new form of feminism and describe the stark differences between the model of the 70s. - 56 Comments
