What NOW Doesn't Get

College student Samantha Soller is a living example of the witty, clever women the feminists are repulsing through their outdated and increasingly pathetic efforts at solidary and actvism. After attending NOW's Young Feminist Summit, Miss Soller writes insightfully:

It was painfully apparent that at the Young Feminist Summit, a majority of attendees were at least well into their 50s. I would argue that young women like me, a 19-year-old Bucknell University sophomore, aren’t turned off by the political aspect of feminism. Many college students are actively involved in politics, but we are reluctant to join a movement dedicated to bashing men, degrading our bodies, and obsessing with sex.

The feminists doubtless won't listen -- but they should.

Michael Medved has an excellent article related to the topic of gender.

I'll add that the people who live in small town America aren't at all like the sheeple that live in the Big City. The Big City people believe they are so much more superior because they are worldly and sophisticated. It's such a veneer of crap.

Carol -

What NOW doesn't get is the concept of change. Their precepts and indignations probably were valid once upon a time. Offhand, I would say about 1966.

However, things change. Moreover, the rate of change today is higher than it was then.

Republicans seem to have gotten this image of being crusty and old-fashioned, but NOW in particular is the one who seems stuck in the past while NRO is quite edgy.

You obviously agree with it or you wouldn't have posted it. What propaganda do you have in YOUR room? And does your mother know it's there?
