Fortunately, there is good news: women have the power to turn everything around. All they have to do is surrender to their nature – their femininity – and let men surrender to theirs.
If they do, marriageable men will come out of the woodwork.

Then there’s this:
Things Girls Do That Guys Hate
A blog about the things girls do that guys hate.But ladies (and I think I can correctly address my audience as that now. I checked. 90% of my followers are female), you must understand that this blog is not about women at all. It’s about men.
via Clementine Ford on Facebook, describing the tumblr as “Mansplaining Central.”
I wonder if either of these twerps found a pony after all that shoveling?

I get very confused about being a feminazi sometimes 
Hoyden About Town 
Is it just me, or does this paragraph from the Fox News thing make no sense whatsoever?
As for the second, I think Richard Dawkins would be very surprised to hear that 4chan invented the meme.
It must be the season. The Hun has a new one to join the ranks of Albrechtsen, Devine & co. And what a corker she is. In this mini-rant about the narcissism of the young (yes I know), she offers this pearl, “Perhaps the incessant whingeing and striking of teachers has something to do with the local result…”
Bear in mind that the whole thrust of this piece is that Western children aspire to be entertainers, artists or sporting celebrities instead of doctors, firemen and other heroic occupations. Googling Rita Panahi, what do I find? Is she a doctor, a surgeon, a lumberjack? No! She has a show on SENsports SENTRAL (sic!) which is mainly concerned with, you guessed it, entertainment and sport!
Gah!!
Not the holding doors open for women thing again. Ladies, think of the menz.
Not calling me a lady (condescending ******) while telling me why I’ve got it wrong.
That tumblr got me ragey.
It’s barely seven in the stupidly early and I’ve already read “Some of you wrote in saying I offended you. Sorry if I offended anyone”. I’m awake now, time to put on some clothes, and go buy purple shorts.
tigtog, I think you’re making an unfair comparison here. Surely horseshit is far less offensive than this drivel!
Wanting a balanced life, the horror!
It’s interesting to me, though, how in the first link the author specifically says that “women have the power”. Isn’t the idea that women have power anathema to these folks? Or is it only certain kinds of power? I don’t know! It’s all too much my poor, tiny ladybrain.
Of course we have power, tree. We have the most important power there is – the power over boners. Wanting all those other kinds of power like education and money and so on is too much power!
There’s a good piece in the latest Big Issue about King Kong. Apparently, Don Feder from Frontpage* reviewed the Peter Jackson version of the film and wrote,
“In a way, all men are King Kong – powerful, brooding, potentially destructive creatures waiting for a woman to touch our hearts and tame us…And all women are [the female lead character] simultaneously fragile and compelling, possessor of the magic to transform primitive males(monsters-in-waiting) into protectors and the builders of families and civilisations”.
No, really.
*Some sort of NeoCon periodical.
Gah, how dare the wimminz question chivalry!?
“This is something that’s needed a dissertation for a long time.”
Because no one has ever thought these mighty thoughts before …
*sigh*
Apparently Suzanne Venker is Phyllis Schafly’s niece. It’s nice to see she’s going into the family business.
Phyllis Schafly is a name I will always despise.
Forty years later, I still hate Phyllis Schafly over the ERA. She shamelessly exploited the 1970s general public’s fears about Women’s Liberation to defeat the ERA.
