First teh gays, then teh evil feminists

Feeling a bit defeated this morning, Amanda notices a little something about right wing rhetoric:

I just thought I’d like to point out something interesting I noticed while perusing Townhall, the internet presence of everyone’s favorite propaganda mill conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation. In the opinion column, here’s a sample of some of the more obvious headlines:

Debunking militant feminist orthodoxy

Why I don’t take feminists seriously, Part V

When sexual “harassment” is a joke

There’s also an opinion column trying to convince the readership that regular church attendance is the key to a happy marriage that implies that the only people who attend church regularly are conservatives dedicated to “traditional” (read: male-dominated) marriages and a column by Rebecca Hagelin that implies that anti-contraceptive legislation is good for families.

That’s a lot of column inches devoted to bashing women and women’s rights.

Buckle your seatbelts, folks.
