WASHINGTON - "All the feminist movement needed to do was bring on someone who had the balls to do something about this glass ceiling business," said new chief of operations Peter "Buck" McGowan, who quickly closed the 23.5 percent gender wage gap by "making a few calls to the big boys upstairs."

Let's just hope the feminist movement never loses its way and needs to ask directions.

  I thought I went in there with humor on my mind, but then it started looking serious and I was thinking, "I thought this was supposed to be humorous", and then I realized it was even though I didn't think it was meant to be and I could tell it was the Onion and all that but this was serious business and ole Buck had a job to do and after they screened all those people to pick him and all.... ;D
  Great job once again ind08! I have really been enjoying your articles lately! thanks for that!

  I take offense at that remark ind06. It has been scientifically proven that women have a better sense of direction than men do.
  I think Buck might actually be what we needed. A man who is touch and has embraced his feminine side.

        Men don't get lost, they go exactly where they intended to go to. Not their fault they had a sudden fancy to be in the middle of nowhere.

    well, that was exactly my point, CieraMarie, that now that the Feminist movement is run by a man, and since men are well known for never asking for directions, that if the feminist movement gets lost, "Buck" will be in charge and the movement will simply wander about for hours, possibly days, or even years grumpily mumbling "I know exactly where we are!"

      Don't think the Feminist Movement will let him get them/us lost. I'm sure they got all the directions and then some.

        LOL the Feminist Movement is in a pepetual state of "lost"
        They are so deep on the forest they will never find their way out
        Quation: Which feminist group came out and condemned the treatment of the British teacher in Sudan??
        The National Organization for Women - we are monitoring the situation but would not be issuing a statement or taking an official position on the matter.
        Tammy Bruce, a former NOW official "The supposed feminist establishment is refusing to take a position in this regard [on the Gibbons arrest] because they have no sensibility of what is right anymore"

        nastalgia. ... Sometimes movements know when to keep their mouths shut, and not aggravate a situation that they cannot otherwise influence. Thanks for your input, and keep coming back...

        Silence on the incident in the Sudan - no condemnation and even a comment AFTER the teacher was released
        Silence on the Saudi 19 year old gang rape victim sentenced to receive 200 lashes
        As one columnist stated about the feminists groups:
        "They're not willing - or able - to engage the Muslim world in a debate of their animalistic treatment of women because the Muslims won't cringe and retreat when they point and scream, "Sexist!" the way our politically sensitive politicians and businesses do in the civilized world. They're afraid of a real fight"
        Go back and look at their statements on how the Taliban treated women in Afghanistan - if you can find any
        If they won't speak out against the very worst abuses of women in the world, what good are they?

        'On September 27, 1996, the Taliban, an extremist militia, seized control of the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul, and violently plunged the occupied territories of Afghanistan into a brutal state of gender apartheid in which women and girls have been stripped of their basic human rights.
        "If this was happening to any other class of people around the world, there would be a tremendous outcry. We must make sure these same standards are applied when it is women and girls who are brutally treated."
        -Eleanor Smeal, President, Feminist Majority Foundation'

        "In 1997, The Feminist Majority launched the Campaign to Stop Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan to urge the US government and the U.N. to do everything in their power to restore the human rights of Afghan women and girls. Chaired by Mavis Leno, the Feminist Majority Foundation's campaign has brought together more than 200 leading human rights and women's organizations to condemn the Taliban's human rights abuses against women and girls and to put pressure on the US and UN to end gender apartheid in Afghanistan."

        "If they won't speak out against the very worst abuses of women in the world, what good are they"?
        Ask the International Organization for Women. The National Organization Women has it's hands full with national issues.
        If Muslims will bow to peer pressure, first it will be to their peers, muslim men. Secondly and much more remotely, to other men. NOW can only aggravate things as they now stand.

If a man can control the women's movement than I just became the leader to all men.
My first act as leader will be to enjoy a cup of coffee.
Take notes men!

At least women ASK for directions! Thank god for those men who have their GPS systems.....that way they don't have to ask, except how it works, cuz men don't read directions either.

I guess Buck's leadership explains

Which I wholeheartedly support. Now how about making elimination of the discrimination an international issue that it deserves to be?

  There are some real downsides to having that right. Especially here in America.
