What's feminism about, again?

[Jedidiah]

Interesting because lets see:

- I took care of myself for over 5 years before I got married.
- I managed to earn myself a degree, without the help of a husband.
- I managed to move up the rank chain, without the help of a husband.

But do you know what I count as a great accomplishment then any of that stuff? Being a wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend is more important to me then any of those professional accomplishments are. What is the fun of landing that 'dream job' if there is nobody to share it with?

Amen to that.

Feminism is a special program to help ugly or mean women get ahead.

Amen, again. I really need an amen button.

Calling a feminist a feminazi is an insult to the National Socialist German Workers Party (Hi Darth!)

[Epoetker]

"Feminism began as a simple grievance, mutated into a kind of conspiracy theory (with “patriarchy” filling in for the Jews/Freemasons/Illuminati/Bohemian Grove/reptilian shape-shifters/the fiendish plot of Dr. Fu Manchu/etc.), spent the 1980s in grad school congealing into a ridiculous jargon, and with the booming economy of the 1990s was once again reinvented, this time as a career path."

It's only a matter of time. Kevin D. Williamson is writing almost honestly enough to be the next man banned from National Review. (Joining Coulter, Derb, Steyn, etc.)

NR banned Steyn?

[seasanctuary]

Junk article, meant to get a rise.

Indeed. I'd be happy to talk about feminism in a thread not tainted by the caricature.

(Carrikature would still be welcome.)

[Epoetker]

NR banned Steyn?

They (and by they, I mean "Rich Lowry") aren't quite dumb enough to ban him outright, but the quick parting of ways in the Mann-vs.-Steyn globull warming libel case seems to be a way to dodge responsibility for separation-hey, he's an identified public liability, so not our problem, this bears no similarity to what we did to Derb. Also we're afraid of confrontations.

As readers may have deduced from my absence at National Review Online and my termination of our joint representation, there have been a few differences between me and the rest of the team.

No doubt. Good on him to separate proactively, most likely after the whole Jason Steorts kerfluffle over his article on gays, he could already see the writing on the wall.
