Upperclass feminists always got my goat with their out-of-touch soundbytes like “marriage is a comfortable concentration camp.” However, Dowd barely even aspires to pseudo-feminism. She’s like a cross between Auntie Mame and a well-past-her-prime maneater. Artfldgr’s quote is a perfect example of her rambling from one overgeneralization to another, with a smattering of name-dropping (Felix Dennis) to lend an air of authenticity. After reading the entire column, I can’t discover the point – unless the point is that she gets paid to keep herself in booze and Bozo-the-Clown hairdye.

An Ideal Husband

[the whole article is about the guy you select… not about how the women act, after all, they are perfect and so could never look to themselves for any sort of responsiblity – ie, dowd aint responsible]

Maureen Dowd: ‘Where Is My Jewish Husband?’
By Tom Tugend (JTA)

What requests did New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd leave in the cracks of the Western Wall when she accompanied President George W. Bush, and later President Obama, on their trips to Jerusalem?

“I left the same message both times,” said the red-headed, Irish-American Pulitzer Prize-winner. “I asked, ‘Where’s my Jewish husband?’ ”

yeah.. THATs a great message to put in the wailing wall with the others…

Unless she’s offering to wear a Scolds Bridal aint no way anyone wants to bet turned to stone and run down… (and it WILL happen given her)

besides… she is there for the women to read and listen to.. if you think you dont read her much, the men read her less… but she has a HUGE feminist following.

ergo her always towing the party line…
(no hats, no ice cream, not that kind of party – though there are a few clowns)

here is her with her head in the feminist bowl with others going la la la…

What’s a Modern Girl to Do?
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/30/magazine/30feminism.html?pagewanted=all

It took only a few decades to create a brazen new world where the highest ideal is to acknowledge your inner slut. I am woman; see me strip. Instead of peaceful havens of girl things and boy things, we have a society where women of all ages are striving to become self-actualized sex kittens. Hollywood actresses now work out by taking pole-dancing classes.

Female sexuality has been a confusing corkscrew path, not a serene progressive arc. We had decades of Victorian prudery, when women were not supposed to like sex. Then we had the pill and zipless encounters, when women were supposed to have the same animalistic drive as men. Then it was discovered – shock, horror! – that men and women are not alike in their desires. But zipless morphed into hookups, and the more one-night stands the girls on “Sex and the City” had, the grumpier they got.

Oddly enough, Felix Dennis, who created the top-selling Maxim, said he stole his “us against the world” lad-magazine attitude from women’s magazines like Cosmo. Just as women didn’t mind losing Cosmo’s prestigious fiction as the magazine got raunchier, plenty of guys were happy to lose the literary pretensions of venerable men’s magazines and embrace simple-minded gender stereotypes, like the Maxim manifesto instructing women, “If we see you in the morning and night, why call us at work?”

Reminds me that she is the daughter of Thaumas and Electra and sister of Iris… who would want to be her Phineas?

C’mon folks, lets all think of few villains Obama has been loath to target.
