Chicks on the Right: Here's what real feminism looks like!

Here is a horrific, new column that the Indy Star will be running regularly from now on. It is called "Chicks on the Right". Just started running today. These two women have a radio show on our local right-wing hate radio station WIBC and now it appears that the Gannett owned Indy Star wants some of the action. This appears to be laying the ground work for GOP messaging to women for the next election. The column is simply a low-brow, repulsive attack on liberal women.

***********************************************************
The word “feminist” has been hijacked by liberals, and we’re taking it back.

You see, we ARE feminists.

We were raised as “latchkey kids” in conservative households by working parents, and we weren’t coddled. Our parents taught us the meaning of independence, instilling in us a strong work ethic, and expecting us to work and earn money at a young age. They taught us that actions have consequences, and they taught us about personal responsibility. We knew that when we grew up, we’d need to make our own way in the world and not rely on anyone but ourselves.

We’re sick of liberal feminists who screech “WAR ON WOMEN!” the second they’re faced with challenges — or with having to pay for their own birth control. It’s laughable when they depend on a cradle-to-grave government to take care of their every want (like guilt-free abortions and taxpayer-funded contraception), and then dress up in vagina costumes on Capitol Hill hollering for the government to keep its hands off their “lady parts.”

They can’t have it both ways.

They either need to own up to needing a Sugar Daddy (whether he is in the form of a mate or a taxpayer) or woman-up and take care of themselves. Liberal “feminists” are proving what conservative feminists like us have known forever: They’re not feminists at all. They’re parasites.

And absolutely frightening how quickly the right wing pulls out the dehumanizing terms like "parasites."

they taught me values and work ethic. my two grandmothers taught me to cook,clean,and sew. my mother was an equal partner with my dad. after my dad died she took care of herself for 5 yrs before she passed.

ya "chicks on the right" my mother and grandmothers were`t chicks. they were democratic ladies who would be offended by your words.

They claim a monopoly on work ethic, but are more likely to be lazy fuckers getting government assistance.

glad you women are happy with your subjugation by old white men. Most people today (including many white men) are not ok with the way women are treated by Republicans and the religions of this world and are about progress. You know. Like every other positive social change that happened in this country. Done by progressives. Not by conservatives.

knew they had to get a gig early on because latching on to a conservative man was risky business, yet they call it an unexpected challenge. No, ladies, you do not have this. You can't even handle writing about your husband's love for you.

Seriously, why do these women breed with such selfish clods.
