Carly Fiorina Seeks To Redefine Feminism In 'State Of Women In America' Address

By Ryan Lovelace, Jun. 11, 2015, Washington Examiner

Carly Fiorina will give an address on "the state of women in America" on Thursday night that reveals her intention to redefine the word, "feminist."

"A feminist is a woman who lives the life she chooses," Fiorina said. "We will have arrived when every woman can decide for herself how to best find and use her God-given gifts. A woman may choose to have five children and home-school them. She may choose [to] become a CEO or run for president. I am conservative because I know we are all equal in the eyes of God — men and women."

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO turned Republican presidential candidate has also been critical of conservatives' outreach to female voters in the past, and organized the Unlocking Potential Project to turn out women voters in the 2014 midterm elections.

Fiorina will talk about her success in the business world — from secretary to CEO — and how gender impacts the obstacles women face, according to her prepared remarks provided by her campaign.

Hirsi Ali Slams Feminism's 'Trivial BS'

Ashe Schow, Nov. 20, 2014, Washington Examiner

Hirsi Ali — who despite the harsh words she said, spoke softly, almost timidly — told the story of a fight between her mother and father when she was about 11 years old. Her mother wanted to take her and her sister out of school because education would lead them to rebel against their family and “bring shame upon us.” Her father responded by saying, “If you take my girls out of school, I am going to curse you and you are going to burn in hell.”

PGA President's Ouster Shows Quick Reaction To Sexist Comments 

Rob Gloster, Oct. 27, 2014, Bloomberg News

Ousted PGA of America President Ted Bishop became the latest sports executive punished for making insensitive comments, reflecting a growing effort by sports bodies to react decisively on sexist or racist comments.

Bishop's removal came one day after he referred to England's Ian Poulter as a "little school girl squealing during recess," and a week after a Russian tennis official was suspended for mocking Serena and Venus Williams as the "Williams brothers."

Iran Hangs Reyhaneh Jabbari For Murder Of Her 'Attempted Rapist'

Heather Saul, Oct. 25, 2014, Independent.co.uk

Iran has executed Reyhaneh Jabbari for killing a man she says had tried to rape her despite an international campaign calling for a reprieve.

Ms Jabbari’s mother Shole Pakravan confirmed her death to BBC Persian. She said her 26-year-old daughter was hanged in a Tehran prison and she was due to see her daughter’s body at the cemetery today.

Her death was described as a "travesty" by Amnesty International.

Amnesty said Ms Pakravan received a call from prison authorities on Friday, where she was told to visit her daughter for the final time before her execution at dawn on Saturday. She was granted an hour with Ms Jabbari before being made to leave.

Ms Jabbari was arrested in 2007 for the killing of Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former employee of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence who she said tried to sexually abuse her.

Little Girls Drop F-Bombs to ‘Empower’ Feminism

By Katie Yoder, Oct. 22, 2014, Newsbusters.com



The feminist movement is selling something, but it isn’t feminism. 

In FCKH8.com’s latest video, “Potty-Mouthed Princesses Drop F-Bombs for Feminism,” little girls between 6 and 13 years-old dressed up as pink princesses to say f*ck in the name of feminism. One girl questioned, “What is more offensive? A little girl saying f*ck or the f*cking on equal and sexist way society treats girls and women?” In response, the feminist liberal media latched onto the video, calling it “brilliant,” “empowering” and “adorable.” 

During the short ad, the girls addressed – or, rather said ”f*ck” to – pay inequality (“I shouldn’t need a penis to get paid!”), rape, sexual assault and body imaging. “F*ck that sexist sh*t,” one little girl shouted as she gave viewers the finger. 

The video concluded with a 12-year-old boy dressed as a princess to make the point, “Yo, bro, when you tell a boy it’s bad to ‘act like girl,’ it’s because you think it’s bad to be a girl.” (No, it’s because we think it’s bad to be confused.)
