		<description>Marilyn as long as women can come to an understanding that true &quot;Feminism&quot; is not separated by political ideology.But umbrellas ALL women.Then that is all we need to agree on.=)

Anything else...well that&#039;s your point of view and I respect it.

All I am looking for by being here is the support and respect that women deserve.When may not see eye to eye on every issue.But at least we can still stand for the sisterhood.
Have a wonderful evening:)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Am I angry at them ‘Yes,I am’ and I have a right to be so.And that anger is what makes me a Feminist.Just because I do not see eye to eye with some women on the poltical spectrum does not mean that I or any other Conservative Woman will not stand by our siters on the Left for dedecency and respect.&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s a tent I can get under, Jessica, and I feel the same way about conservative women. Heck, I am a conservative in some of my political opinions. But please, please don&#039;t ask me to be respectful about a man who is neither conservative or liberal, but rather stands for a good deal of what patriarchy is about, including unthinking anger. He HAS made sexist remarks and behaved inappropriately. He does not deserve and will not get my respect. You&#039;re better than that, too.</description>

		<description>CNN has lost its way.  It used to be a decent network, but now it continually loops Anderson Cooper and Larry King after 9 pm EST, I guess to cut costs.  You would think that nothing happens overseas during the time the US is asleep.

Feminism is dead?  I guess we can not have women thinking that they are people because then the world would stop spinning round on its axis, there would not be all that low cost labor and bum kissing. I would like to see CNN do a special called &quot;Female in America,&quot; with the same amount of promotion that &quot;Black in America&quot; receives.  I guess racism matters because if impacts men on a broader scale than sexism does.

I think we should declare pre-Internet media dead.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;Cable news isn’t out of touch - it’s not interested in promoting equality for women. Nor is the NY Times...&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Of course not.  Who sits in the &quot;anchor&quot; (newsreader) chair is immaterial.  The money and power behind all these old media entities, and the corporations that fund them, is male.  

Power concedes nothing without a fight.

We&#039;ll see about the Internet.  Because barriers to entry are lower, it has the potential to be both more democratic and more gender balanced.  The monied and powerful will put a stop to that too, unless we stop them.

		<description>Big tent!
Hey just what i have been looking for;)

i supported Hillary during the election.Even as a Latina I chose to vote where my conscience lays.I personally feel Sotomayor is not a good pick for the the Supreme Court based on the record not what line she stands on.I don&#039;t think she in any way should have given up her memberships to all women clubs if a man is not suppose to give up his.Fair is still fair.

Name calling and disrespect is what it is.We can come together as women to support women and further the causes that will help us grow as citizens and people.Not just a gender.
I was not set off,just merely pointing out an obvious.I am extremly disappointed not only in the media but the very groups like NOW that were suppose to be &quot;For&quot; us.But now only stand for women that they don&#039;t agree with when pushed to do so.
This I know I am not wrong about.Whether you agree with Palin or not she in No way shape or form deserves the barrage of misogyon that she has had to endure.Especially with little to no support from so called &quot;Women&#039;s groups&quot;

Am I angry at them &#039;Yes,I am&#039; and I have a right to be so.And that anger is what makes me a Feminist.Just because I do not see eye to eye with some women on the poltical spectrum does not mean that I or any other Conservative Woman will not stand by our siters on the Left for dedecency and respect. (sorry no spell check,late and I think I just had a brain fart=)).
But the the abortion issue is not the only issues that identifies us as &quot;Feminst or Non-Feminist&quot;.It is an issue being used to further the gap between women.Divide us so that it can send us back to an oppression of our rights.

Yes tents do blow down.But the roots of Feminsim stand strong against the storms of oppression when we recognize that those roots are cemented in fertile ground of basic a sisterhood.</description>

		<description>Amy, I appreciate what you&#039;re saying, but tents blow down. Women cannot just be allies because they&#039;re women. I cannot support women who support people I feel are not humane, who hate without compunction. &quot;Tiller the Babby Killer.&quot; Nice.</description>

		<description>Jessica  - Ah, I see it WAS my comment that set you off. I, in fact, was very vocal in support of the Letterman boycott. No woman should have to put up with that. But I take nothing back with regard to O&#039;Reilly and the conservatives that will go to bat for her, but crap all over Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Sotomayor, and others who aren&#039;t spouting the party line. If you can&#039;t see that, then I suspect you aren&#039;t as much of a feminist as you claim to be.</description>

		<description>Oh sorry.
It is kinda a general,because there are several coments I have seen just from briefly looking at the site that lead me to the assumation.
Like the comment above mine from Marilyn concerning what she has duped &#039;Conservative Hate-mongers&quot; makes a reference to Palin as the &quot;conservative darling&#039;.That is a,I think a good example.
I guess I was just really expecting more from this site in general after hearing about the organization.
I have always considered myself a &quot;Feminist&quot;.My great-grandmother was in the women&#039;s right&#039;s movement and a thinker far before her time.My granny chose to be a single mom w/two young children rather than be beaten to a pulp my a husband,in a time when it was just UNspeakable to do so.I could go on about the strong women in my family that have influenced me.And the women I have seen suffer.
So to hear that an organization that has Re-Newed the foundations of Feminism was just a breathe of fresh air.Only to be disappointed with the same divisiveness threatening women in this country.
But I have thought about it and I think I just set me expectations to high.So I will give it another shot.Just with my eyes wide open.
I apprecate the comment.In a way that it has made me really think about the organization.</description>
