Hooray for Feminista! For outing Wendy McElroy, the faux feminist at ifeminists.com, which is a project of the Independent Institute and a contributor for Intellectual Conservative. Here’s what she has to say about Castle Rock v. Gonzales:

"Responsible adults—both male and female—have both a right and a need to defend themselves and their families, with lethal force if necessary. If DV advocates had focused on putting a gun in Jessica’s hand and training her to use it, then the three Gonzales children might still be alive."

So now Betty Friedan is a communist?

A Different Look at Betty Friedan’s Legacy by Wendy McElroy

McElroy has a nasty habit of attacking mothers who have lost custody of their children to abusive fathers. When California NOW released a study on women who lost in California family courts, McElroy had absolutely no sympathy for them and refused to look at evidence including court and medical records accumulated by CA NOW and by the National Alliance for Family Court Justice (NAFCJ). She simply did NOT want to see the documentation. She went on a rampage accusing all of us as being liars. She then had the audacity,"waiving her usual fee, asking only for expenses" to write that she accepted the challenge.

"McElroy is right, this is news, not a university study. I challenge her as
a "feminist" to sit in a room with the hundreds of women who have had their
rights to contact with their children denied on the whim of a sexist judge,
or tried desperately to get her child out of the home of a man who has been
sexually molesting that child, or who has had her teenage son commit suicide
rather than go live with his father, and tell them their stories don’t
count." -- Rachel Allen

And here's McElroy's pot calling the kettle black, as if she doesn't work for an advocacy group with a vested interest:

"My column clearly stated that data is not invalidated by being advanced by an advocacy group. But when reports and studies are released by those with a vested interest in reaching certain conclusions, the data should receive extra scrutiny. To quote the column, "Although CANOW’s self-description as a ’political action organization’ does not invalidate the report, it should raise red flags emblazoned ’extra scrutiny required.’"

In her Put UP or Shut Up column for Fox News, she admits that she didn't bother to look at documents supporting abuse allegations. All she wants us to do is shut up!

"In another e-mail — Ms. Pierce also makes serious accusations against an individual by name. It is time for PC feminists to prove their concern by going public with solid proof of criminal activity against children and women — not merely allegations.

"If NAFJC and NOW care about abused women and children, they will publicize whatever hard evidence they hold in their hands. Let the "facts" be aired and not just alleged in what appears to be a cowardly attempt to destroy the reputations and lives of people who disagree."

More from Feminista! On how war is not just murder it’s also rape. Literally. Get this:

“'90 per cent of war casualties are civilians, 80 per cent of which are children,' claimed leading women's rights advocate, and member of the Women's National Commission in England, Indira Partel claimed earlier this year. Partel also claimed there is evidence of 'women being used as deliberate targets of war,' for 'sexual torture', specifically in order to attack the 'honor and culture' of the men belonging to that society(1). Sexual exploitation/slavery, rape and violence against women is a defining feature of any war, and a means for feminizing/degrading the enemy. Women in many cultures are often viewed as a possession of men, and attacking this possession is like attacking men, raping these women is seen to be raping and effeminizing men.”

And this:

“Hatred of women and what is seen to be traditionally feminine often characterizes most military training. In 1978 radical feminist Mary Daly quoted George Gilder on training in the U.S. military corps- 'When you want to create a solidary group of male killers, that is what you do, you kill the women in them,' and that 'the female anatomy provides a rich field of metaphor for every degradation,' and that despised men are those that are seen to be 'feminine and individual.'”
