The faces of feminist failure

The ‘Women’s March’ on Washington is a protest against democracy

Schadenfreude is generally be to avoided. But, honestly, look at the faces on these women. Do they look like anything would make them happy?

Janine Turner in Northern Exposure

Apparently Rolling Stone magazine has just named “Northern Exposure” in a list of worst TV series ever. I must say I always thought it was quite entertaining and memorable.

Janine Turner appeared as “Maggie O’Connell” in the show, which ran from 1990 to 1995. She played a “feisty” bush pilot. Be that as it may, she was quite easy on the eye; especially if you are like me and fancy short-haired brunettes.

The girl in the old photo

So, says the girl in the old photo,

another calendar year ticks over,

and you are further away than ever.

It is hardly my fault that I was young

and pretty and in every way your type,

one hundred years ago.

And she seems to say, I have seen

you looking at me, still young in

black and white, bone of your bone.

It isn’t fair.

“Hair like spun gold”

Unlike most fairy tale motifs, “hair like spun gold” can be seen in real life. I saw a girl today serving at McDonald’s who had hair “like spun gold.”

Here is an example:

Women are not a voting bloc …

… not even liberal women. When you think about it, it is truly surprising that even in feminist America, after decades of suffrage, there is no immediate likelihood of a woman president.

As I have said before, women’s suffrage is a “dog that didn’t bark in the night.” In other words, and I think this is especially the case in Australia, women’s suffrage has delivered very little in the way of noteworthy women political leaders.

This following story (on Pantsuit Nation) underlines the message. Women’s interest in politics is generally desultory and self-limited.

Op-Ed

Pantsuit Nation had the potential to mobilize millions. Instead, it’s just a feel-good commodity
