Conservative Feminism?

The title should link here: http://ilyka.mu.nu/archives/119915.html.

Ok, I am not familiar with her writing, but as far as I can tell she exists on a young-conservative sort of sphere of blogging. The linked post is a lament about the anti-feminism and sexism of conservative male bloggers, and also the promise that she is going to close her blog and start again in a male guise.

It's funny to see this argument on the right, and sad to see our argument among ourselves on the left is no further evolved, really. Anyway... I found it a little interesting to read and research this pie fight of the right... but I wouldn't suggest spending too much time figuring out what's going on or reading all the supporting nonsense that is part of the dispute.

Still, interesting... and the link itself is on the topic of the conservative women that abet these immature males and eventually are left to wonder... why am I helping to abuse myself?

This is not actually offered as "conservative feminism", but more as a link into enigma.

I actually like what I've seen of this woman's blog, even though I disagree with a lot of her politics--mainly regarding the war. But the following quote is a pretty good one:

You know what you can do the next time a man on the internet disregards what you said in favor of attacking you for who you are?

You can go back through your archives, read every word you ever wrote about how feminism has ruined America, and choke on each and every one.

And before any of you shake any fingers of outrage at me and ask how I can defend those lefty bitches! When they called Michelle Malkin that word!, you can recall that when I say sexism is wrong, I say it no matter which direction it's coming from.

Which is a polite way of saying I've been a lot more logically consistent than some of you have been.

Wowza,that's one pissed off and powerful writer, plenty on her mind and seems outraged that she feels bullied into changing her gender, which makes me suspect we haven't heard the last about it. I hope she re-considers going underground, and comes back stronger for it.
