There are a number of modern authors whose facility with the written word and ability to plumb the human experience leave me in awe. But if you asked me whose work touched me most, it would be O'Faolain's.

The end of Hillary Clinton's candidacy proved that a woman can be just as sneaky and misleading and desperate as a male politician faced with failure and the implosion of a chance at power.

Does Mother Earth Need Men?

So you've got to be a Kennedy to avoid being a thought of as a girlyman? That's a pretty high bar for the average guy who gives a crap about the natural world.

No Sore Winners

Hillary is passionate and a force for good in our time. That is precisely why she will rise from this moment to help forge a unified band of democrats to elect Senator Obama.

Little Women: A Sad, Sad Story of Stereotypes

I'm sixty years old. I can't recall a time--ever--that any man who lost a close election demanded "time to adjust to the pain of losing" before conceding. Hillary lost a close one and got a case of the vapors.

Dreams From His Mother

While Obama's mother's personal choices surely cost her children some measure of stability, she also gave them a powerful model for idealism and feminism in action.

Hillary's Manhood Problem

Max Zimbert

Feminism isn't the same now in the wake of the Clintons. Clinton campaign is partly responsible for femininity's evolution from equality between genders, to expectation among genders.

Cowboys, Prairie Fairies, and Mother Earth: The Political Psychology of Gendering Nature Female

In the view of conservatives, just as women are there to serve and must know their place, so must the Earth (along with its animals and indigenous inhabitants) be used as a resource that requires no reciprocity.

Hillary and Mom

Because of Hillary and because of the struggle of women like my mother, there will one day, sooner rather than later, be a woman president.

Pandering To Women Is The Opposite Of Feminist

Sorry, John, simply talking to women, acknowledging their presence and inviting them to listen in on a conference call does not make one a friend of women or a champion of women's issues.

Wake up America. We are so close to losing any semblance of democracy in our country.

Sex and the City Converts a Skeptic of the Show

I could never accept that Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte represented the modern New York woman. But I still left Sex and the City: The Movie laughing and entertained.

It's The Morning After - Hillary, Look In The Mirror

Melissa Hapke | Posted 05.29.2008 | Home


The media is neither sexist nor liberal. Hillary Clinton has been treated the way she has treated her opponents.

Another 55-Year-Old White Woman for Obama

We can cast a vote backwards in time, declaring that gender wins the 'who's-more-oppressed' game, or recognize that we missed an opportunity to change institutions 30 years ago.

What Hillary Should Have Learned from the Suffragists

Ellen Feldman | Posted 05.27.2008 | Politics


Ellen Feldman

Hillary's inadvisable comments remind me of when suffragists came up against minority men getting rights they thought they were entitled to, they too lost their moral compass.

Put Some Clothes On!

It's time we put our girls back in decent clothing, quit teaching them beauty is everything, and trained them to take responsibility for their bodies.

Bella DePaulo

The ad funded by "Women Count" counts every woman -- as long as she is married. I wonder, are single women also invisible to Hillary?

Jim Webb's Baggage

Nathaniel Bach | Posted 05.23.2008 | Home

In the year of the Clinton candidacy, asking Democrats to vote for a vice presidential candidate who snickered about calling the Naval Academy "a horny woman's dream" is just rubbing salt in the wounds.

Can a Civil Rights/Feminist Presidential Union Put John Edwards on the Supreme Court?

The word is consensus. It is hard to achieve. But then it's even harder to beat.

Obama's Sexist Victory in Oregon

Nathaniel Bach | Posted 05.21.2008 | Home


Nathaniel Bach

Given Clinton's recent major and undeniable race-inflected victories, the increasing charges of sexism, particularly against Obama himself, are misguided at best. This is no way to advance party unity or women's rights.

Sexism is alive and well in America. One exit poll I saw had almost twice as many voters having trouble voting for a woman for president than voting...

Is Obama Man Enough To Be a Feminist Too?

Nina Burleigh | Posted 05.17.2008 | Politics


Nina Burleigh

It would be nice to see some glimmer of feminism coming out of our presumptive black male candidate. All we can do is hope this new kind of man leader cares enough to speak about it.

Two weeks ago the NY Times discussed the lack of films coming out that have women in significant roles. I find it easy to reconcile my feminism and my love for movies on this one.
