In Defense of EMILY's List
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyLONDON -- Well, ladies, it would appear that I need to don my wetsuit one more time and swim across the pond to defend the honor of EMILY's list. The last time I did this was earlier this summer, when EMILYs List -- a national political group dedicated to electing pro-choice progressive women -- launched a campaign, "Sarah Doesn't Speak For Me." The group ran an ad openly mocking Sarah Palin's whole "mama grizzly" trope for conservative women. In the ad, women dressed in bear costumes voiced their concerns over such issues as health care policy and federal support for education to explain why ...
Why I Love the EMILY's List 'Mama Grizzlies' Ad
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyLONDON -- Well, ladies, at the risk of being the only gal in town who thinks that bear suits are where it's at, let me go out on a limb and say that I loved the EMILY's List ad about Sarah Palin's "mama grizzlies." In case you missed this week's installment of Girl Fight, allow me to sum it up. Earlier this week, EMILY's List, a national political group dedicated to electing pro-choice progressive women, launched a campaign, "Sarah Doesn't Speak For Me." The aim of the campaign was to counter Palin's ongoing efforts to claim the mantle of feminism for conservative, pro-life ...
Settling for Good Enough: The Atlantic's Reluctant Feminism Won Me Over
By Lizzie Skurnick - Politics DailyIn 2008, while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama battled for the Democratic nomination, I became a little well, impatient with the the The Atlantic. It wasn't their low-key Hillary bashing (though they did lob a few potshots while waxing rhapsodic on our current prez). It was the magazine's March 2008 issue, which featured Lori Gottlieb's essay (later expanded into a book) entitled "Marry Him," which urged desperate single women to give up their hopes for a perfect partner and "settle" for "Mr.-Not-Quite-Right." Until then, I -- like many readers -- had turned to the Atlantic for weighty ...
The End of Men? Women in Control? This Is News?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyEvery five years or so, give or take, a female socio-multiculti-gender savant with shining credentials and a large reputation for Big Thought delivers a footnote-laden tract on the end of masculinity that reels off endless debate and buzz. This month The Atlantic magazine treats us to an eye-grabbing cover story apocalyptically titled "The End of Men" – without a question mark, so sure is the magazine and the article's author, Hanna Rosin, the co-editor of Slate's Double X, that they've got their hands on ground-breaking, irrefutable material. Prodded by my feminist conscience and the ...
Women in New Media: At the Top or in the Trenches?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyHere's good news! A quick tour of new and improved news-and-infotainment websites -- dozens of them -- reveals that women by the droves are successfully making the leap from old journalism to new media. Just the other day, as if to underscore this trend, a Business Insider article featured 25 media stars that have made that leap, and 13 of them -- 52 percent -- are women. Maybe that's not such a big number, but it looms large next to the pitiful number of women (six) named by the National Law Journal among the 40 most influential lawyers of the decade. Worse, the investor George Soros, the ...
