Last summer, I wrote an article here at HuffPost, Why the ‘Pro-Women’ Movement Should and Will Replace Feminism.   Sarah Palin had just declared herself a ‘conservative feminist,’ while endorsing a slew of diverse women candidates and working to get them elected.  I found her efforts to get more women into leadership, admirable.  The women who apparently own the term “feminist” vehemently disagreed with me.  Rather than welcome Palin with a sisterly embrace, they pursued her with machetes of words for daring to utter their sacred …

Feminist Art, in contrast to the art most of us were taught about in school, is art that sees women and men as equal. Instead of being depicted by men as beautiful objects, in the feminist art movement women create depictions of themselves and each other as subjects, full members of the human race.  Instead of sweetly smiling at the camera or posing for a portrait, women in feminist art …

According to a Rasmussen Reports survey out yesterday, “nearly three-out-of-four voters (73%) now think it’s at least somewhat likely that a woman will be elected president in the next 10 years.” We should be jumping for joy. Not so much. Or at least not just yet.
Duke Professor John Aldrich has explained: “The standard line that anyone can grow up to be president may be true, but it is true only if one grows up to be a major party nominee.”
Rep. Michele Bachmann announces her candidacy for president on June …

Caveat: I am aware that this post is self-important and melodramatic. The personal is political, and politics have real personal consequences for people.
I’ve been MIA for the last little while because grad school is exhausting, and because I was in remission, briefly, from my debilitating political hypervigilance (a result of Primary PTSD from 2008). But oh boy, things are spinning up again and as such I get to start getting harassed on my two …

Via Jodi Jacobson, this clip, filmed at Netroots Nation earlier today, is of Daily Kos Associate Editor Kalli Joy Gray questioning White House Director of Communications Dan Pfeiffer about Obama’s response, or lack thereof, to the legislative assault on women across the nation. And it is truly stunning.
I have been a political junkie since I was old enough to understand the …

Bill Keller, executive editor of The New York Times, offered his version of a poison pen letter to Sarah Palin in his piece entitled Sarah Palin’s Tom and Jerry Problem. In it, he claimed that “If the 2012 election were held in the newsrooms of America and pitted Sarah Palin against Barack Obama, I doubt Palin would get 10 percent of the vote.” He is sure “most journalists would recoil in horror …

While watching Shawshank Redemption on television on Sunday night I was sickened by a face that showed up on my screen during the commercial break.  It was Keith Olbermann and he was advertising the revival of his crappy show Countdown.  MSNBC is no longer his employer, so they weren’t paying for the ad space.  Instead, a new network is trying their hand at Sexism 101 and have hired Olberhe-mann to continue his slanderous woman-hating …

Recently The Tampa Tribune’s Catherine Whittenburg pointed out the growing concerns with FL Gov. Rick Scott’s new law to drug test welfare cash benefit applicants, who consist overwhelmingly of single women. The issue bares further scrutiny, however, because it poses a great harm to some of the most vulnerable among us–needy women and children. It is a discriminatory and shameful law that treats struggling families like potential criminals. Additionally, states like Rhode Island are …
