Having Cake, Eating It, Too
The Right's anger at Barbara Boxer's comments to Condi... I'm confused. I've read numerous things by many right wing peoples (David Brooks comes to mind) that, well, hint at or outright say that women are better serving the world by being "Moms". Conservatives don't like feminism, remember? Trust me, read any Conservo-blog and you'll read "feminism" and "fascists" as synonymous.
So, why then the reverse? Why the sudden claims of solidarity with Steinem and Friedan? Oh, right. It serves their purposes right now! Don't worry, soon they'll be back to saying that birth control demeans women.
(BTW, I think Boxer made a boo-boo, but not a sexist one. I just think it's stupid to say that only people with family members serving in the military are able to judge the impact of the war.)
