Palin Will Do Well in the Debate

Posted on 30 September 2008. Filed under: feminism, politics | Tags: , , , |

First of all, expectations are low – unless you’re expecting some great SNL material, in which case expectations are high.
Second, Palin will have been extensively prepped and will be able to return to her comfort zone, making speeches. She does well when reading prepared remarks (not crib notes, which she had a hard time with [...]

Sarah Palin’s Opinion of Sarah Palin

Posted on 30 September 2008. Filed under: feminism, politics | Tags: , , |

It’s the most important opinion out there, and, while New Feminist can’t exactly claim a scoop, or “gotcha journalism” as the intellectual elites now call it, we can point out that Palin’s body language is a dead giveaway:

Notice Palin. Notice how, when Couric asks her a question, Our Journalism Major looks [...]

Hate Feminists? You’re Gay.

Posted on 29 September 2008. Filed under: feminism, sex | Tags: , , , , , |

A segment of the web-world loves to jabber about how dumb feminists are. Occasionally they decide to search for like-minded others, and then they somehow find this site, not realizing that the words “stupidity” and “feminism” can come up in more than one context.
These men hate women so much, and make such a point of [...]

Women Fighting on the Front Lines

Posted on 29 September 2008. Filed under: feminism, military | Tags: , , , , , |

Australia is seriously considering changing the rules for front-line combat. Instead of making that decision based on sex, they’ll be making that decision based on qualifications. This change ought to pass, and probably will.
Keeping women from the front lines is one of the last bastions of chivalry. It’s one more practice that pretends to value [...]

Well, thank God. Discounted lap dances for feminists!

England leads the way! Because it’s not exploitation if the product is sold to everybody.

“Feminism Depends On Hairy Choices”

Posted on 29 September 2008. Filed under: feminism, housework | Tags: , , , , , , , |

An excellent article from Rachel Funari of The Sydney Morning Herald:
Feminists should fight the hairy-legged lesbian stereotype because it alienates the young ones, says Monica Dux, the co-author of The Great Feminist Denial. I say the problem with Australian feminism is not hairy lesbians, but the movement’s penchant for replacing them with suburban mums.
If it [...]

Equal Pay and Oversight

Posted on 27 September 2008. Filed under: feminism, politics | Tags: , , , , , , , |

McCain’s ads about the supposed wage gap in the Obama campaign are all over the place now.
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that this is true, instead of the gross misrepresentation it actually is.
Why then does McCain oppose doing anything about it? If he’s so concerned about wage gaps and equal pay, why not, [...]

What Palin Proves About Feminism

Posted on 27 September 2008. Filed under: feminism, politics | Tags: , , |

Notoriously, National Review’s Kathleen Parker has called for Palin to step down: “my cringe reflex is exhausted.” Other conservatives voice the same discomfort.
And for good reason. Palin, when her running mate/daddy allows her to speak, has evidenced an almost complete lack of intelligence. She repeats the same answers to different questions, without appearing to understand [...]

My God, McCain’s Found Excalibur!

Posted on 24 September 2008. Filed under: politics | Tags: , , , , |

Seriously! Why else would he suspend his campaign to help out with the economic crisis without having any sort of PLAN to help out with the economic crisis?
At last, the King has returned; unfortunately, he’s unable to multi-task – economics AND foreign policy? Even for a president and a hero, that’s a bit too much. [...]
