Gynocentrism?

Michelle Malkin:

BEHOLD with me the politics of gynocentrism.

What a depressing and desiccative sight it is. Just look at Gloria Steinem. From once-ripe feminist icon to idea-barren harridan, she offers nothing to young women but anachronistic man-hate, anti-military bigotry and woe-is-me wallowing.

Hope and change? Try harp and whinge. Some things get better with age. The women's rights movement isn't one of them.

In the dark and desperate days of gyno-candidate Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, Team Hill dragged Steinem out of the leftist dustbin for a grieve-a-thon in Austin, Texas. The 73-year-old activist sulked about Barack Obama's ascendancy to The New York Observer, blaming voters who "want redemption for racism" and complaining that not "as many want redemption for the gynocide."

What does she mean by gynocide? "There are six million female lives lost in the world every year simply because they are female," Steinem asserted, making a passing reference to pregnant women killed by male partners.

Presumably, she's not including the millions of unborn girls aborted around the world every year because of their gender. And nothing in Steinem's record indicates that she's thinking of the untold numbers of girls and women murdered for "honor" in the name of Allah by Muslim relatives.

It's Western men Steinem detests. You know, the ones who watch football, whom NOW tried to blame for a mythic rise in domestic violence on Super Bowl Sundays, and the ones who serve in the US armed forces - like that gyno-enemy, John McCain.

...

Steinem is still an attractive woman if not an attractive personality. She has not lost her anger at being a woman. She was brought to Austin, Texas to try to cut into the support Obama clearly had in the town that the University of Texas still dominates.

Anywhere else in Texas would have been a problem for her. She certainly could not have brought her anti military message to San Antonio where there are several bases and where the population is supportive of the military. It was not a message for area around Fort Hood near Killeen or Fort Bliss near El Paso. It was just a message for the seat of the anti war movement in Texas where she thought she could prey on gender jealousy.

I doubt she made much of a difference in the campaign. Even the liberal women in Texas are not that disrespectful of those who defend them from an enemy that does not think any American women not wearing a hijab is honorable. Do people like Steinem have any idea how much the enemy hates them for being who they are?

Kathleen Parker also takes Steinem and Hillary Clinton to task over the ancient feminism fight. I find it interesting that the two people most upset with her case are both excellent columnist of the female gender. It makes me think Steinem has lost touch.
