Hitch On Helms like White on Rice
Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

My daughter has learned history and women's rights from AG
As a mom, I was not thrilled with the American Girl doll books. They are not great literature and they are tied into selling the dolls. On the other hand, they have given my daughter a basic framework of understanding for American History. She also cites them to talk about how girls were treated unfairly in the past. Overall, she has gained a ...

Government abuse of power
South Dakotas law relating to doctor patient communication and abortion: This is just another method for people using and abusing government power. They attempt to control others and legislate morality by forcing their beliefs (usually based on their religion) upon all of society. Their goal is to limit freedom and force conformity with their ...

Thank you for writing this!
... this story is heartbreaking and infuriating. Of course the elderly are full human beings, have an evolved sexuality, and should have full access to their sexual rights. If our legal and familial institutions are not set up to handle these realities, they need to change. Many cultures have either formal or 'look the other way' valves to ...

Hostage
Is Sen. Obama going to be held hostage by the HRC and her supporters because she lost the race fair and square? - without all that convoluted math about her winning the most popular votes - I am still scratching my head over that ploy and how anyone would fall for that. I am a 59 year old white female accountant and I could just never get into ...

marrying the right man
Regarding Anne Applebaum's comment: I've always thought Hillary an apalling role model for young women (''Lesson No. 1: Marry the right man'') Really? That's lesson #1?? I think my head is about to pop off. Not get an education, become finacially secure, be your own person but...marry the right man? What is this? frickin' 1952? Why is a ...

Feminism and male influence...a late post
For the first time in my life, I'm struggling with relating to the feminist cause. I've always considered myself a feminist, but if feminism is about rejecting positive male influence, count me out. I'm a 32 year old career woman with 70+ employees and 10s of millions of dollars under my management, so I am the product of what women fought for ...

Some Women Don't Get It! Some Dol.
Their sights are set too low. They, rightly, resent all the discrimination they have endured, some claim their fate is worse than that of African-Americans, how would they convince African-American women, is beyond logic.THAT's the point. Is Hillary Clinton able to use Principles and Logic? You may answer either way, I never heard her argue ...

Feminists respond
Saying that feminists are taking this stance because Hillary didn't get the nomination is like saying you oppose global warming because it drives up the price of gas. Feminists discuss the risk: I'm trying to take the long view; that is, yes, it is possible that protest votes could give the election to McCain, and if that happens, it will ...

Said it, Meant it: bridges among feminists?
In response to Marjorie Valbrun’s thoughtful piece about the eroding relations between black women Obama supporters and white women Clinton supporters, I can’t help wondering whether these difficult conversations about how sexism and racism undermine equal opportunities aren’t a necessary first step in a modern conversation about race relations. ...
