Conservative Capitulation to Feminism
December 5, 2010
IN THIS entry, the reader Chris disputes another commenter’s claim that feminism is on the wane. Chris writes:
I would very much like to share your optimism. But I know of no effort by conservatives in Congress, or in the churches to repeal Title IX. There is no one within the Republican Party who is speaking up with regards to the dearth of men teaching in our schools. No one within the recent Tea Party phenomena expressed any interest in eliminating the blatantly unconstitutional sections of the Violence Against Women Act. No state legislature I know of is planning to reform “no-fault divorce.”
It is of great interest to read websites such as The Thinking Housewife, Steve Sailer, Lawrence Auster, Randall Parker, etc., but they do not command the readership of such mainstream sites as Power Line, Hot Air, No Left Turns, and Hugh Hewitt, which all evade important social issues.
And regards talk radio: way back during the first Bush Administration, Rush Limbaugh was fond of ridiculing the feminists and their agenda. But somewhere since along the way he has lost his gonads. Which brings us to Mike Medved, Laars Larson, Neil Boortz, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingram. Where do they stand on Title IX, repeal of VAW, reforming no-fault divorce, and increasing the number of male teachers in school? Nowhere!

There have been some efforts to reform state no-fault divorce law and require mutual consent, most recently in Missouri. But I agree the situation is bleak.
