\t\t\t\tSeattle Times columnist Collin Levey gets the disconnect<\/a> between the feminist silence on Condi and the feminist outrage against Summers:<\/p>\n

\n

It’s now painfully clear that feminist groups aren’t mainly concerned about the actual success earned by real women. (Among other things, that would involve noting that women can succeed without feminists’ help.) Instead, the focus remains on the dogma of oppression and the insistence that any woman given real clout by a Republican administration is really just “showcasing.”<\/p>\n

The feminists complain that women aren’t equally represented down the ranks in the administration, the same complaint that Summers addressed at Harvard. In fact, females now get about as many jobs in Republican administrations as under Democrats — and GOP women candidates have had a more winning record in some recent years than female Dems.<\/p>\n

Falwell’s assault on the Teletubbies was bad enough, but this is ridiculous.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
