Now, before pulling up this link, how did I know that a woman wrote
this article?

Because no man would have dared to make this suggestion.

Actually, at a later point in the article, Devvy Kidd (her photo isn't
that bad-looking either) says that women should be allowed to serve in
Congress but "ONLY if they have a full education on the historical
founding of this republic, the Constitution and the restrictions it
places on them as lawmakers" and she says that they've got to leave
their hormones and their maternal instincts at home.

But isn't that a little like Shylock being told that he can have a
pound of Antonio's flesh as long as he doesn't spill any blood?  How
could female legislators leave their hormones and maternal instincts
behind?  I like her first idea better.  Throw 'em out.

However, upon reviewing her website, I think that she's a Second
Amendment fetishist and probably another Wendy McElroy clone (Second
Amendment rights for women and none for women]

***It's time for women to go on the war path against the media on this
issue. Those shows all give massive coverage each time one of these
abductions catches their fancy. The leadership of the women's gun
movement should be on these shows stressing how important it is for
women to be able to carry a gun for protection. That won't happen
until thousands of your members hound these talk show hosts and
threaten to boycott them and their advertisers. 

Annie get your gun and don't be afraid to use it. We will stand behind
you and if your husband or boyfriend doesn't understand the concept,
tell them to go sleep in the back yard. It's your life at stake, not
theirs.***

Same old story.  Run out of ideas?  Shoot a man.

"Ladies and gentlemen - let's have a round of applause for tonight's
player of the game - FRAN-CIS-CO SAN-N-N-N-TOS!
    - Brian Anthony (P.A. announcer at Grizzlie Stadium), June 11, 2004


"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their
disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites; in proportion as
their love of justice is above their rapacity; in proportion as their
soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and
presumption; in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the
counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. 
Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be
placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must
be without.  It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men
of intemperate minds cannot be free.  Their passions forge their
fetters."
     
     - Edmund Burke, Letter to a Member of the National Assembly (1791)
