A Woman’s Place Is In The House (of Representatives)

This is from an actual newsletter sent from the Republican party in Ohio. It’s referencing the OH-13 House race, where the incumbent is Betty Sutton. I know I keep seeing polls that show Democrats are in trouble in November. Sometimes, though, I have a hard time taking it seriously – specific Republicans are a lot […]

Politico has the scoop on a new study coming out of Stanford and the University of Chicago showing that in general, women lawmakers are better legislators than their male counterparts. Effectiveness was judged by the number of bills introduced, the number of co-sponsors for those bills (probably an indication of the popularity of the bill) […]

Eva Lorraine Molina at Townhall brings us a morality tale of how feminism is ruining women and means they’ll never get married.

We haven’t talked on Delaware Liberal about George Sodini, the right-wing misogynist who killed three women at a fitness club in Pittsburgh. He wrote some very disturbing things on his blog about race and women. Sodini was obsessed with women and sex and how he wasn’t getting his fair share (according to him). Hint: it […]

Last week’s News Journal brings us this wacky letter to the editor: I enjoyed your June 26 editorial pointing out politically prominent men involved in adulterous relationships. There are many more, each representing hundreds of column inches of newsprint taking the same approach: “ain’t it awful” – “poor wronged wife” – “ruined career.” Other aspects […]

Products Targeted to Women Generally Tick Me Off

There’s a new candy bar being introduced, and it’s targeted to women. Here are some of the descriptions: Try it in public. A chocolate bar that shimmers. Definitely eat it with the lights on. Finally a chocolate you don’t feel so guilty about eating. Under 85 calories per finger. That’s a sexy little figure. Just […]

As we discussed yesterday in my inaugural post, sometimes common expressions grate on feminists the wrong way. The main objection is to describing things that are undesirable in feminine terms, most especially terms for the female anatomy. Listen, I know it’s a hard habit to break because it is so pervasive (that’s the problem!) so […]
