A feminist candidate is by definition the candidate that walks the walk of change. We are down to one feminist candidate in this presidential election and his name is Barack Obama.

The Self-Hating Shrew

Charlotte Allen finally gets to the real subject of her attack -- Hillary Clinton. Ah. It all makes sense now. Attack women in general in order to undermine the one you really want to dislodge.

Charlotte Allen Is a Bigot

The Washington Post didn't lose me because "print is dead." They lost me because they gave a bigot a platform, defended her, and tried to make it seem like she was kidding.

Maureen Dowd and Her Pearls

Women who stand above the firing line while drawing it obviously don't get that it's not about being "victimized." It's about being treated differently than men, especially in the traditional media.

What happened to supporting your sister's freedom of choice? It turned out it was often only evident when she chose what you chose.

Boleyn for Concubine

Shana Ting Lipton | Posted 03.02.2008 | Entertainment


Shana Ting Lipton

The Other Boleyn Girl serves the same purpose as Cliffs Notes do to high school students. It gives borderline illiterate dummies an easy -- albeit often erroneous -- way to remember the facts.

Feminist Infighting

Rebecca Walker | Posted 03.01.2008 | Politics


Rebecca Walker

Perhaps a feminism that has not responded to the needs of its constituents needs to die. Perhaps Obama is unintentionally killing feminism and facilitating the rise of "feminisms."

Either Obama or Clinton would be far better than Bomb Bomb McCain and his party of snaggle-toothed dinosaurs. But when substance is similar, style matters.

Dear Anchor Woman in the Bikini

Leslie Griffith

Objectification is not the same as admiration. It is just a sad attempt for anatomical standing ovations. You are an anchor woman for goodness sake.

A time to take women seriously had finally arrived. But what are we to make of wildly popular student-run sex magazines like H Bomb, Boink, and SWAY?

Who Says It's Settling?

Stephanie Losee and Helaine Olen | Posted 02.26.2008 | Living


Stephanie Losee and Helaine Olen

Most people who end up married to non-stars don't view themselves as settling, even if that is what it looks like to Atlantic writer Lori Gottlieb.

HuffingtonPost.com | Jason Linkins | Posted 02.21.2008 | Politics


Burn, ladies. Some local crank, passing himself off as a Constitutional authority, insists that this matter will soon go before the Supreme Court, where they will rule against ovaries.

The Latest Insult to Women: "Settle for Mr. Good-Enough"

Lesley M. M. Blume | Posted 02.19.2008 | Living


Lesley M. M. Blume

It irritates me that such a prestigious publication as the Atlantic made the decision to perpetuate the stereotype that the American woman is really just a brain stem attached to a ticking womb.

Will women give this moment away freely once again? Will we sacrifice our potential power as voters to another certainly worthy cause of electing the first African American president?

Barack isn't to blame for the nastiness against Hillary and demeaning women so men might advance. But he's hardly denounced it. Many of his supporters revel in it.
