Second Wave Squared
How would you define the fourth wave of feminism?
Earlier today, commenter Alison said:
I think the women at Feministing are at war with the 4th wave just as much as they are at war with any woman who does not meet their card carrying Democrat standard.
Their recent post in which they are defensive in regard to criticism that they do not support all women [...]
Comment of the day: thoughts on the future of feminism
An adorable stuffed animal cleverly masquerading as a baby alpaca.
The other day I posed three questions about what we need to do to in the wake of this year’s public self-immolation by the feminist establishment. I know, I know — “don’t make me click on the link, Violet! Just tell me what the [...]
For the record
During the campaign I wrote a few times about the bewildering behavior of the many feminists who attacked Sarah Palin in astonishingly sexist (and dishonest) terms — and did so in the name of feminism. The situation was appalling to many of us who have been lifelong feminists and who care deeply about the [...]
The New Feminism (part 1)
Grandmother and granddaughter have a chat by the fence.
I’ve got about forty zillion things to attend to today, so I don’t have time this morning to write a full post. But I want to start pulling together some of our thoughts about the new feminism we’re building, what I think of as the Fourth [...]
You’re not alone
The most soothing alpaca picture ever.
Cellocat says, “I have never felt so lonely in my life, so isolated and depressed.” Many of us feel that way. Thousands in fact, perhaps millions. Huge numbers of women, all feeling completely alone and isolated, which means of course…

That was the cry when Sarah Palin appeared at a campaign stop in Philadelphia. “Let’s stone her, old school!” yelled a man in the crowd.
Maybe that’s next.
Over at The New Agenda, Amy Siskind raises the spectre of Kitty Genovese and asks, “Are Democratic women the new bystanders?”
What started as “MILF” has taken [...]

How did we go from Tomato Nation’s “Yes, You Are” to this?
Five years ago, Tomato Nation published a post that rapidly became legend. It was emailed, re-posted, printed out, probably even framed somewhere. Maybe you remember it. It was called “Yes, You Are.”
Here it is:
Yes, You Are

Why the attacks on Sarah Palin are the best argument for voting for her
The treatment of Hillary Clinton this year showed us that sexism is far more acceptable and more endemic than racism in this country. Naysayers liked to claim that the hatred was for Hillary alone, not for all women; but they were wrong.
Just look at Sarah Palin. She’s different from Hillary in [...]
