So if they really are for "women," then why don't ever support a single conservative woman?<br /><br />It's definitely all hype. They don't believe in women or equality or any of that, they believe in group power and political spoils.<br /><br />It's time to be through with them.

Look at it as a public service, civic duty if you will, when you see a village idiot in the making, inject guidance (ridicule) and perhaps save us their, $hitty, miserable, lives. To me, as has been said up thread, the left seeks to Balkanize America, getting us all into meaningless petty squabbles, totally missing the big picture. The first mistake we (the country) made was buying into the BS in the first place. When America is not free to exchange ideas, the country stops, and all the “isms…” are designed to squelch debate, you scream loud enough and long enough until you get your way, petulant children, who needed more spankings as a kid. Good read Andrew. <br /><br />As a quick aside, my wife and daughter are the are two of the most wonderful things in my life.

Boy, is this family going to be paying out the nose with therapy later on. <br /><br />Also, I just love the asinine comments the parents spit out, thinking it's so profound.

Now, I personally like Swift for the most part, but I understand why many people don't--her music is often too tweeny and basically recycles itself after a while. But this individual was attacking for her love song, saying that such-and-such verse implies "she can't find happiness or define herself without the presence of a man," blah blah blah. I have to wonder, does this woman really think this is what Swift was thinking about when she wrote that song?<br /><br />Which is why using gender analysis for literature, history, philosophy, etc., is thoroughly meaningless: academics and the intelligentsia in general keep assuming everyone else gives "gender issues" the same importance they do. Unfortunately, the same could be said about a lot of ideas.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-19418874123354741142011-05-24T18:54:56.311-04:002011-05-24T18:54:56.311-04:00Andrew, That's probably the reason they hate h...Andrew, That's probably the reason they hate her so much.

It always seemed to me before Ann came along that the stereotype of conservatism was pure male. Ann and Laura and others like them made it ok for women to be conservatives.<br /><br />I'm not saying they did it alone, far from it, but they certainly forced the media to drop the narrative that conservatives were anti-woman.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122308626703654554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-4742953279693151142011-05-24T18:38:27.455-04:002011-05-24T18:38:27.455-04:00rlaWTX, It definitely popped up in the MSM and Hol...rlaWTX, It definitely popped up in the MSM and Hollywood. Somewhere starting around the end of the 1980s, Hollywood seems to have decided that all women need to be shown as hard-driving professionals (single if possible or with a weak husband) and all dads need to be shown as stupid or pathetic. In fact, I can't think of the last television dad that we were supposed to respect?<br /><br />I'm glad you managed to avoid it, I ran straight into it and had some epic battles with the idiot brigade!
