Description: Adele Stan (she prefers Addie, thus her blog AddieStan.com) has quite the background in women's studies and journalism. Chances are, if you took a Women's Studies class in college during the past ten years, you probably read her now-ubiqitious text, Debating Sexual Correctness. From Ms. Magazine in the 1980's to her American Prospect article from last month, Addie has weathered the course of the Republican Revolution and sees a lot of parallels between the radical right now and the radical right she faced down as she was beginning her career. Times change, but tactics often don't. Here are Addie's thoughts on the state of feminism in 2006 when she came by our studios on Thursday. [June 1, 2006]

madfishsam ::: Favorites I have to put in one positive comment. Sexism is still alive and well. There is nothing wrong with insisting that women be recognized as full human beings. Other opinions are shortsighted and destructive. 07-05-17 23:18:56 _____________________________________________________

Dutch269 ::: Favorites You want equality? Then teach females to be accountable for themselves, and we will gladly let you hang out with us. If you want to keep up with the victim crap, you will never be welcome as an equal or as a co-worker. We are not as angry as you try to convince people we are, but we see the irony and injustice that goes with feminism, and theres no way in hell angry man hating females are gunna win. You say that feminism has a long way to go, honey you have no idea. 07-06-01 17:30:58 _____________________________________________________
tallius84 ::: Favorites The interesting thing about this video is that even though she said that in those countries where women are empowered, those societies tend to do better, there is no clear indication that it is in fact this one factor that made the society "better" to the furthest extent of the term. 07-06-14 23:28:07 _____________________________________________________
luckyvet ::: Favorites The more empowered a women is the more stable a society is: Bullshit, Africa is a typical example. The patriarchy is the single element that separates the modern world from the stone age. Now, we are regressing. 90% of our criminals are from single mother homes. dumb cunts. 07-06-18 09:16:31 _____________________________________________________
