Ann Coulter.  Michelle Malkin.  Debra Saunders.  Wendy McElroy.  Laura
Ingraham.  Those are just a few who don't subscribe to *your* brand of
feminism.  And what does any of this have to do with mail-order brides?

Lemme see:  One "fought back" by fleeing the room because she felt
faint, and immediately went crying to the Boston Globe, wanting them to
do her "fighting" for her.  The other "fought back" by
comparing apples
and oranges and trying to extort a newspaper editor into doing what she
wanted, all the while trying to claim his Parkinson's was affecting his
mental ability.

Yeah, they're shining examples of gender warriors, all right.

and ability to squarely confront issues in a forthright manner is.  One
is a coward and the other is a bully.
