Campus Progress talks about an insanely silly post from TNR (so silly that I won’t even post a link to it) that asks this question: Should Ann Coulter be a feminist icon?

We don’t have to read the article to know the answer: No. And indeed, it isn’t hard for CP to tear the logic to shreds. But I found a good snippet from one of the commenters in that post:

Coulter’s not a feminist icon; she’s a feminist irony.

Much like a rich entrepeneur who later attacks tax equality to allow other small businesses to succeed, or our good friend at YAF Jason Mattera who opposed Affirmative Action while receiving a minority scholarship, Coulter toes the conservative line of opposing feminism while riding the success of female career advancement in the later 20th century.

For all her various comedy routines about her hatred of liberals and feminism, Coulter is a never-married, over-40 single woman who opted out of being a stay-at-home mother to instead enroll in law school and later become a self-operating freelance professional. The only statement Coulter truly has to be offering the feminist movement of the 60’s is “thank you.”

Indeed, many liberal bloggers have taken note that Ann Coulter doesn’t exactly practice what she preaches, but this commenter sums it all up pretty well.
