Has Feminism Gone Too Far - Or Not Far Enough?
If women are going to have to earn just as much money as their husbands, then they should also be splitting the at-home responsibilities down the middle. That is true equality.

In 2008 we reached a nadir. For Wall Street it was the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. For the women's movement, it was the sexist treatment of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.

You would think with all the troubles he's been having with women lately, the last thing Berlusconi would agree to do was round up women for Gadhafi's mission to "save European women."

Sarah, how creepy is it that NOW is jumping on your bandwagon? Trying to be friends with the alpha popular princess by sweeping abortion, pay parity, stem cell research under the rug!

This wave of feminism is about reaching down beneath the surface to eradicate the roots of sexism that lie deeply buried in darkness, ignorance and bias.

Leslie Crocker Snyder is running to be the first woman to be Manhattan District Attorney. Snyder has prosecuted mafia members and drug lords and gang members. She created the first sex crimes unit in the United States, writing the Rape/Shield law that, to this day, saves rape victims from malicious and overly-broad cross-examination.

How would any one of us feel if Letterman's comment about Palin's daughter were directed at our daughter? And if Governor Palin were Governor "Sam" Palin, would he dare to make that joke?

More offensive than the man-fever these movies suggest all women have is the cavalier manner in which women will turn on one another to get the prize.

One would hope in the 21st century we could at least agree what feminism is not: "encouraging women to again have more children."

I'd like to challenge one of the most popular beliefs of our era: that women have a profoundly different value set than men, and that embracing these particularly feminine values will change the world.

There's no doubt that women have to choose between family and a certain career tier. Adequate workplace policies just don't exist to give women the opportunity to do both. But taking issue with that fact isn't whining, it's advocating for progress.
