The Coffee Klatch Evening News
I'm sorry, but how in the sweet-scented fuck can one "feminize" the news?*
I hate the idea that, somehow, American culture is becoming "feminized". What, so Al Bundy and his NO MA'AM flunkies have become icons of conservative ideals? And at that, so what if the world is becoming more "feminized"? Why is it a bad thing that culture is adjusting itself to reflect a group that makes up about 50% of society and whose continued existence is vital to said society?
What people who talk about "feminization" want is for women to just be put away when they're not needed. A good meal, a clean house, a vagina, that's good. But if they want to, y'know, be recognized as existing in modern society, that's too much. It's best if they just hide out of view- maybe even under a burka.
*And yes, I'd normally go into the twisted nature of a woman railing about wanting to be marginalized in the media, but honey, please. I've seen bad Leona Helmsley impersonators who could pull it off better than you can.
