[Christian Cage]

A provocative look at Sarah Palin's disquieting connections to some aspects of feminism. Long overlooked by many mainstream conservatives.

If Palin supported legalization of dope, Liberaltarians would ADORE her.

Hmm. So you think that women should be paid less than men for the same jobs [and I do mean the VERY same jobs] and otherwise be treated as less than men? I have a religion for you: Islam.

[SnakeDoctor]

I think there is a strain of feminism, however miniscule, which is not contradictory to either Christianity or conservatism. Though I agree that most feminism is an exercise in female-superiority ... there appears to be a brand of feminism which is truly dedicated to legal equality of opportunity, and personal strength of character and faith ... not to the denigration of men.

That my wife is a strong, bright, capable woman does not detract from me in the least — it is a reflection of the household that I head.

A bit nutty, if you ask me. Frontier women were not known for daintiness. In pre-civil war Texas, they had to be pretty good with a gun in case the Comanches came to steal the silver/young children.

[Anti-Utopian]

The pioneer women were absolutely dependent on their men…just as the men were dependent on their women!

Not quite. Frontier men outnumbered women between twenty to one and ten to one for a century, and many of those women were disease-carrying prostitutes, aka "Frontier Feminists."

Marx said that capitalism must be destroyed because it enslaved women.

In reality, Feminism has done it by destroying the family and leaving “liberated” women dependent on government.

[Lorianne]

Weak attack on Palin and on conservative feminists.

Expect a counter and if I were the author of this I’d take cover.

And conservative blacks who say they are for black empowerment through conservative principles would upset you too, I suppose.

"... that suffrage and the social engineering that has propelled women en masse into what was once the male sphere of gender roles are all still “good” things."


The suffrage part I agree with, but strongly dissent on the social engineering part. Social engineering is inherently opposed to individual liberty and should be opposed by those who cherish our tradition of ordered liberty.

And what, exactly, are conservative men doing to help Sarah take back their country?
