Feminism Is Dead (Good Riddance)

Thank you, Barbara Boxer, for hammering the final nail in the coffin of angry and irrelevant pseudo-feminism. If there were any life left in its wheezing and flailing body, her latest experiment in the utterly ridiculous effectively pulled the plug.

The venomous brand of feminism that cuts men off at the knees to make women arbitrarily taller is no longer credible. When Boxer had the audacity – and some would argue, questionable mental clarity – to publicly scold a US Army general for calling her “ma’am” instead of “senator,” it telegraphed to the rest of the world the sheer inanity of today’s modern feminism, a rusting relic of the 60’s that’s been pushed so far to the extreme borders of relevance that it actually has Boxer hearing things. Yes, in today’s feminism, calling a woman “ma’am” is a mark of disrespect.

But calling another woman a “slutty flight attendant” is apparently hilarious. Never mind that the woman is a United States Governor, the first woman to hold that post in her state, and the youngest. Never mind that she’s an accomplished and hard-working, self-made woman and mother of five. Because she’s a Republican, she’s fair game for the lunatic left who, when it comes to Sarah Palin, seems to have forgotten their Feminism For Dummies handbook at their beach houses.

[...]

With Pelosi irrationally attacking the integrity of the CIA, and Boxer publicly criticizing an Army general for a totally imagined slight, it’s a wonder women are taken seriously at all anymore. And as one, I admit I’m more than a little embarrassed by their behavior. They do not speak for me.

Feminism: “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

I agree that feminism OUGHT to be dead, but there’s still a lot of them out there, I’m afraid.

[Ev Reeman]

There was nothing wrong with feminism but like most liberals they went a bridge too far. We gave feminism an inch and they wanted the whole dildo. Now that they got the whole dildo, the situation has changed dramatically because it was falsely presented to the people as this noble cause and effort which it started out to be and then got perverted by the mostly ugly liberal dykes running the whole scam.

[Bahbah]

but there’s still a lot of them out there, I’m afraid.

Horrifyingly, one of them may make it to the Supreme Court. A racist feminist to boot.

I’m beginning to wonder about that. She doesn’t look in good health as of late. ‘Rode hard and put out wet’ comes to mind. Tired and haggered....and ‘ready for the knacker’s yard’.

[StAntKnee]

Feminism is the undead.

The Queen of England is addressed as Ma'am. Why does Barbara Boxer ‘feel’ that form of address is not courteous enough.

[Let's Roll]

Or for me.

[muawiyah]

That’s because Barbara Boxer is remarkably stupid ~ even for a US Senator

[South40]

She looked like that in 2008.

The woman wants it so badly, I think she'd run from her wheelchair if necessary.

[mrsixpack36]

If the feminazi Hildebeast tries to make a run in 2012, boy that will be a bloody mess there lol. The GOP best put up a strong candidate next time. I think the Mississippi Gov. is the strongest.

[Past Your Eyes]

And all this time I’ve been thinking Patty Murray was the dumbest member of the senate. Well, now that Joe is gone.

[Two Ravens]

Ironically, feminism is still very much alive (and now making serious inroads into conservative thought) due to the rise of Palin, whose career promotes the myth that a woman can "have it all"

I've even seen many posters on this forum arguing that liberal women hate Palin because "she has it all" and they don't.

And when conservatives are making those kinds of arguments, feminism is hardly breathing its last.

Public schools are feeding two meals a day to the kids this summer so women can have kids out of wedlock and work full time.

Why would women give up Feminism when the “glass ceiling” is so tempting and big government is caring for their kids?

They don’t need no stinkin’ men.

[eyedigress]

Barbara Boxer is a self-imposed narcissist. She is above the earned title of General. She is above the earned title of Ma'am. She is above the earned title of friend.

She is a bitch Senator from California.

[eeriegeno]

The General missed a prime opportunity!!! A better response to Boxer would have been, "I say ma'am, you say senator, but you know that most say a$$hole?"..........

And I know that's what he was thinking!!!!!!!!

[GOPsterinMA]

Damn, you paint a very accurate (and gross) picture! Nice!

[Theodore R.]

I don’t see how it’s dead when feminists win at least 2/3 of the elections. Even when the “anti-feminist” candidate wins, he wimps out sometimes.

[Theodore R.]

But it is amazing though how popular she is in CA. People there think earthquakes and floods and fires will come without her there to quide the disasters away.
