Look Again: Hillary Clinton, Through a Lens Wrongly

Senator Hillary Clinton

To celebrate the International Women's Day, please read Deborah Tannen's "Hillary Clinton, Through a Lens Wrongly" published on Sunday, March 9, 2008; Page B03 of the Washington Post.
I agree with her observations, because they were based on facts.

I hope more men in America will learn how best to respect and treat American women from home to the workplace.

I have read some American women speak ill of Senator Hillary Clinton with sexist undertones, such as the recent scandalous remarks of Samantha Power.

Women must display and portray the way they would like men to see them and refuse to accept anything that would belittle them.

Whoopi Goldberg, Candice Bergen, Lily Tomlin, Lesley Stahl, Peggy Noonan Launch WOW on International Women's Day

NEW YORK, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- wowOwow.com, a website created, owned, and written by women for women, will launch on March 8, 2008, International Women's Day.


(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080306/NYTH093 )


Candice Bergen, Joan Juliet Buck, Joan Ganz Cooney, Joni Evans, Whoopi Goldberg, Judith Martin, Sheila Nevins, Peggy Noonan, Julia Reed, Liz Smith, Lesley Stahl, Marlo Thomas, Lily Tomlin, Jane Wagner, and Mary Wells are the WOW contributors.


Consulting editor Joan Juliet Buck, former editor-in-chief of French Vogue, says that, "There is a point in every woman's life when she doesn't have to lie any more. The WOW Women have reached that point, and that's what they're going to teach the world. It's the biggest gift a woman can give -- and exactly what she has been taught NOT to give. That's what makes this site revolutionary."


All of the features will be fully interactive, and readers are encouraged to post alongside the WOW Women. The WOW Women will post a daily conversation on topics ranging from Obama and Clinton including "flirting on the campaign trail" to poverty in Kenya to fashion designer Halston in addition to posting short articles on a frequent basis. The WOW Women will be candid, and share what defines them individually.


In the "Question of the Day" section alone, the WOW Women answer tough questions like "What would you divorce your husband for?" to fun questions like "What was your first kiss?" What's Liz Smith's greatest lie? "Pretending I am good-hearted, generous, gregarious, outgoing and lovable when inside I am paralyzed with shyness and insecurity and doubts about my abilities. And, sometimes, doubts about yours."


WOW is designed to be a community for a unique audience of accomplished women over forty. WOW invites women across the country to join them online to speak together on a level that goes beyond the mundane, beyond their roles as wives, daughters, mothers, and grandmothers.


The WOW women and their audience are more socially, politically, and financially empowered than any previous generation of women, and theirs is the fastest growing demographic on the internet. Since 2007, over half of internet users are women, including over 47 million Women 45+.


With daily conversations, the "Question of the Day," the Hair Day Weather Report (which analyzes the weather in your area, and tells how it will affect your hair), and other regularly updated features, the site will never be the same two days in a row.


"wowOwow is a party -- only disguised as a website -- where we can meet for coffee (in our robes) or for cocktails (without any makeup) or even in the middle of the night (someone's always up)," WOW CEO Joni Evans says. "Here we can talk to our readers, exchange news and gossip, invite the most interesting and informed guests, share experiences and tell tales out of school, process news and make some of our own."

International Women's Day: Code for 'Advancing Radical Feminism Around the Globe'

International Women's Day: Code for 'Advancing Radical Feminism Around the Globe'

WASHINGTON, March 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

Eagle Forum, a leading pro-family organization founded by Phyllis Schlafly, author of Feminist Fantasies, condemns the U.S. Government's endorsement of the worldwide feminist event, International Women's Day (IWD). According to its website, IWD is a "global day connecting all women around the world and inspiring them to achieve their full potential." Back in 1911, the very first IWD was celebrated in order to campaign for such noble ideals as women's right to work, to vote, and to hold public office.


Today, IWD serves to advance radical feminism in the form of promoting pro-abortion and pro-gay rights legislation, ratification of ERA, affirmative action for women, Title IX, government babysitting services, and government wage control, commonly camouflaged as "pay equity" or "comparable worth." The supporting organizations are not women's groups, but feminist groups, including Feminist Peace Network, Aurora Women's Network, UNESCO, and the United Nations Development Fund for Women, also known as UNIFEM. Even media groups, such as CNN, the BBC, and Aljazeera TV have signed on as sponsors. Tomorrow, over 450 rallies and "events" are planned in 44 different countries across the globe.


"The United States Government has no business supporting IWD," said Eagle Forum President Phyllis Schlafly. "The radical feminists know that they can't complain about American women because we are the most fortunate class of people who ever lived, so they search the globe for oppression in other countries using taxpayer dollars."


"The U.S. is joined by a crowd of sponsoring feminist groups who hide behind the guise of being the 'voice of women,' but instead promote such policies and ideals decried by the vast majority of American women, such as taxpayer-funded abortions," Schlafly said.


"These supporting organizations are the very ones who lobby for ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, or CEDAW, which is basically a UN-imposed version of the Equal Rights Amendment," Schlafly said. "The U.S. Senate has yet to ratify this disastrous treaty ever since Jimmy Carter signed it in 1980, and rightly so."


"Today's feminists and CEDAW advocates view 'progress' as government-run day care, greater access to abortion, the elimination of 'Mother's Day' because it promotes an 'negative cultural stereotype,' decriminalization of prostitution in China, and government-mandated workplace benefits that men do not enjoy, just to name a few," said Schlafly. "Their goal is not equality, but preferential treatment."


"The radical feminists want to remake our laws in order to eradicate everything that is masculine from our culture and create a gender-neutral society," concluded Schlafly. "The United States should seriously reconsider lending its stamp of approval to future IWDs."
