I have to agree on the militant feminist outrage being boring. It is.

No humor in sex? Now that is a cosmic joke!!

BTW, although I believe that honesty is the best policy, I, too, see that there are occasions where it might do more damage than good. But as you say, if the remorse is genuine…otherwise the very relationship the secret is supposed to protect becomes a lie in itself.

In any case, you do have wicked sense of humor! Keep on making us laugh, cause we sure need it these days.

Enjoyed and agree (mostly) with your Manifesto also!

If we all marched to the same beat on NQ, it wouldn’t be any fun and it wouldn’t be real life. My own take on NQ is to empower, inform and engage readers in a respectful, adult exchange of information, opinions, and ideas. Political and other wise.

Now about lesson #2, Steve- that whole adultery thing. Hey, it could just be me, but you seemed to have thought way too much about the logic of it all. (JK!)

Women can also be sexist and even misogynist. Many of them haven’t evolved to understand how different life would be in a gender-equal, non-sexist culture, one that condemned women-hate, much like the media’s attitude toward AAs, Obama, and his wife and family. Everyone is not race tolerant, but the media certainly was in the primary, and has been since.

During this past week, there were 3 occurrences that many women/feminists were responding to: the Letterman Top Ten List, Contessa Brewer’s interview (posted here), and Margaret Carlson’s post at “The Daily Beast.” Many women agree with Palin and have opposed this abominable attack on her and her daughters, even though they don’t agree with her politics, like me.

My response has been specific: I am challenging your credentials to call yourself a “feminist” because I’ve read little in your writing to support that description. I understand you as someone who is making some observations, but still has the gall to ask why aren’t women applying in greater numbers for management positions. I think you can figure that riddle out.

Even though support for women candidates and women’s issues is well-comed and appreciated, there is more to feminism than supporting women in politics and in careers. There is a belief in gender equality elsewhere, there’s an attitude towards women’s rights, and there’s a determination to actively move the culture towards actual women’s liberation.

As for William L. Donlon (from his comments), he appears to have “gotten it.”

(BTW, I am not angry or humorless. It’s a shame that I have to make that statement. My argument is with your post. Whether or not I have the support of other blog writers or the administrators is immaterial.)
