Naomi Wolf Would Like an Apology from Phyllis Chesler, Chesler Would Like Wolf to Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

Wow. Just wow! Things are really heating up over at Dr. Chesler's blog. If you are a Feminist and you'd like to observe one of the bigger hurdles facing the Fourth Wave ... you really MUST come over and read. Not only today's response to Naomi. But also Phyllis' piece that started the whole brew-ha-ha. And Naomi's piece before that.

It's really high time, in my opinion, that the Second and Third Waves of American Feminism faced off in the boxing (uh, er debate) ring. Doncha think?

For research and accuracy, I'll put my money on Phyllis.

Can't rule Naomi out though... cuz she has the high falutin' connections.

At Least She Has The Courage to Quit: Go Get 'Em Sarah!

I have just returned from four and a half days on the road, studying the history of America's First Wave Feminism, in Seneca Falls and Rochester. Believe me, I am in no mood to put up with any lies about another qualified woman's political motives or intentions. (H/T to Cynthia Yockey for that link.)

UNLIKE SOME POLS WE KNOW, Sarah Palin has far too much integrity to play hooky for the next 18 months. Nor will she allow the State of Alaska to pay for a never-ending string of legal bills to defend her against frivolous ethics accusations and character assassinations.

Ms. Palin is fully capable of fighting her own battles, thank you.

Sorry about the lack of food for HUNGRY MOONBATS round here. Be forewarned, ya'll. This ain't no Third Wave haven for fawning over half-qualified, socially attractive males. "Liberation" through prostitution is not the way Stray Dawg rolls. Palin bashing is off limits here. (As it would have been in the homes of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.)

Oh yeah... and... failure is, indeed, impossible. Go Sarah!

Cue The Head Explosions: N.O.W. Has Been Infiltrated.... by... Grown-Ups.

OMG! This is getting too funny to watch.

Yes.. it is true. Some of us long time, hard core Feminists support ... are you ready.... better grab a chair...

****Sarah Palin!!****

Certain Third Wavers with a poor grasp of herstory, however, believe we are ... get this.... ****infiltrators***** Gasp!

Woohoo! After eighteen months of "Lord of the Flies" the grown ups have returned! Third Wavers are about to be schooled BY THE BEST in the business.

They should thank their lucky stars for that!

PS. Thanks sooo much to Dr. Violet Socks for the ongoing reports.

UPDATE: Here is Betty Jean Kling with a call for us all to join N.O.W., and keep the grown-ups in the majority. Her explanation of the conference is so eerily reminiscent of the 2008 Democratic Primary ... that I am thinking this is probably worth doing. The Daily PUMA headline says "Now is the time to take back N.O.W. from the "Orange Banana Brigade."
