No Men Need Apply

Who's entitled to criticize NOW? Plus: Alaska East. Ben Stein defended -- in a BIG way. Pork paths. And much more.
p> JUST LIKE A NOW WOMAN br> Re: Andrew Cline's Not Their Kind of Woman : /p> p>WOW, Now! The real question is how does NOW spell HYPOCRISY? There is plenty on their site about violence to women but, I guess your totally estranged and living with another woman husband who had two kids for him while he insists on pulling out your food and water tube does not qualify as violence to a woman?! Terri apparently has no rights in the definitions of women's rights that NOW is interested in! There is also plenty about disabled women on their website, but I guess Terri does not fit into any disabled category that NOW is interested in since she can't link arms with them actively! What a sick sick feminist bunch! I think all of them should have food, water, and taxpayer funding withheld permanently! br> -- J. Kerr br> Jones, Oklahoma /p>

Regarding your apparent disgust that national feminist organizations have not stepped up to challenge the conditions of Schiavo's pending death, I feel I need to make a few brief remarks to you:

1) You have no place, as a man, helping women's organizations develop a platform. You just can't possibly understand.

2) Perhaps the organizations in question realize the illegitimacy of the media bombardment surrounding this single case, and instead wish to focus their attention on issues relevant on a much larger scale than a single human life.

3) Your presumption that left-wing feminists would use Schiavo's husband's lifestyle against him is possibly the most ignorant idea I've read in print this year. Lifestyle issues, such as gay rights, come down to the basic presumption that what people do intimately should not be used to judge them. Why then would a group which advocates for sexual equality make light of a situation which is charged with gender stereotypes of expectation?
