Concerned Woman entirely in Canada

Ok, so feministing.com has already treated this topic

I don't care, I'm writing about it as well.

I'm used to conservative wingnuts (feminism division) getting all rankled by stupid shit. However, two things really stuck my craw in this article, you know, aside from the obvious stupidity of the premise.

1 - To pose "this transgender question at little girls, they've really crossed the line," Knight said, who added that "bisexuality gender confusion" is the Web site's agenda, which is "very dangerous." This is in response to Barbie's website which asked girls for their gender as "boy," "girl," and "I don't know" (They now claim that it was an honest mistake, and should have said "I don't want to say.")

Ok, hi. Since when is transgenderism and bisexuality the same thing? Do people not research this kind of thing before making public statements so as not to appear ridiculously stupid? No, because contrary to what family values types say, they're not just sticking up for their equally valid opinions - no, they're actively quashing other people's choices.

And you can bet that some poor intern pointed out the gaff and was told "that no one was worried about pissing off the queers."

2 - This might just annoy me more: the group in question is Concerned Women for America. The person being cited all the way through is the director of the Culture and Family Institute of the CWA. His name is Bob Knight, and you can bet that he's not FTM.

See, I'm all for men in the movement. They're great. Sometimes they don't get it, but they're great. I have a hard time believing that men in the CWA are equally as great. Because frankly, it looks a hell of a lot like a man couching his patriarchal values behind a smoke screen of conservative feminism. They say sluts are bad for feminism? What the hell is conservative feminism?
