Ultra-winger Kate (Sixty-Grit) O'Beirne is truly as stupid as she is just plain unattractive as a person. Over at The Corner (no linkee, sorry) she's flogging her book (well reviewed by Jane Hamsher here) which is now out in paperback. She's all moist because she found out that the Democrats might want to reconstitute the Equal Rights Amendment (which for those of you too young to remember would have been quite a triumph for women) and she, of course opposes. But the really funny part of her missive at The Corner is her misuse of a word (now remember, she's a famous "Writer" and shit.)

In a front page story today, the Washington Times reports that the new congressional majority has revived the prospects for the Equal Rights Amendment. (I had to double-check the paper's dateline). Call it the luck of the Irish given that my book is just out in paperback. Back in 1982, the ERA died when it fell three states short of the 3/4 necessary to ratify it during the proscribed period. Now feminists and some of the men who fear them hope to win ratification in those three states and have a compliant liberal Congress certify the results by a simple majority vote. Discrimination against women in employment and education has been outlawed at the federal level for 40 years, so what do these perpetually aggrieved women want? Nothing that enjoys broad public support, I argue. Conservatives should welcome the debate that this relic could launch.

I guess that when she titled her book "Women who make the world worse" she was looking in the mirror.
