  <description><![CDATA[<strong>A top conservative writer explores the feminist assault on our families, schools, workplaces, and military</strong> <br/><br/> As a woman, Kate O'Beirne can say things a male commentator could never get away with. In her long-awaited first book, she takes on America's leading feminists&#151;including Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Maureen Dowd, Kate Michelman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and even <em>Sex and the City</em>'s Carrie Bradshaw. She confronts them with hard evidence of how women like them have done more harm than good over the last four decades. <p> O'Beirne is all for women's equality and celebrates the unprecedented opportunities they enjoy today. But she faults those feminists who believe that a hostile patriarchy reigns and that women remain its helpless victims. Their agenda is not profemale; it's merely antimale. <p> <em>Women Who Make the World Worse</em> shows how their destructive handiwork can be felt in every corner of American life, including:<br/> &#149; fractured families and dispensable dads<br/> &#149; offices and schools that have become battlegrounds in the gender wars<br/> &#149; military units that put lives at risk to promote social engineering <p> This book takes on some very powerful women and challenges beliefs that have become feminist orthodoxy, starting with the myth that men are the enemy of women's progress. O'Beirne marshals her allies, prepares for a good fight, and never loses her sense of humor. This is a provocative book that will appeal to anyone, male or female, who wants some old-fashioned common sense about relations between the sexes. <br/><br/> <strong>&#147;We depend on manly characteristics to keep us safe.</strong> Every single one of the dead firemen heroes on 9/11 were men. This was one group where liberals didn't ask why there wasn't a more pleasing gender balance, because the Upper West Side is not fireproof. What happens in combat in some distant field is abstract to liberals, but they can understand the need to have strong, brave men in their fire department.&#148; &#151;Kate O'Beirne</p></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<strong>A top conservative writer explores the feminist assault on our families, schools, workplaces, and military</strong> <br/><br/> As a woman, Kate O'Beirne can say things a male commentator could never get away with. In her long-awaited first book, she takes on America's leading feminists&#151;including Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Maureen Dowd, Kate Michelman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and even <em>Sex and the City</em>'s Carrie Bradshaw. She confronts them with hard evidence of how women like them have done more harm than good over the last four decades. <p> O'Beirne is all for women's equality and celebrates the unprecedented opportunities they enjoy today. But she faults those feminists who believe that a hostile patriarchy reigns and that women remain its helpless victims. Their agenda is not profemale; it's merely antimale. <p> <em>Women Who Make the World Worse</em> shows how their destructive handiwork can be felt in every corner of American life, including:<br/> &#149; fractured families and dispensable dads<br/> &#149; offices and schools that have become battlegrounds in the gender wars<br/> &#149; military units that put lives at risk to promote social engineering <p> This book takes on some very powerful women and challenges beliefs that have become feminist orthodoxy, starting with the myth that men are the enemy of women's progress. O'Beirne marshals her allies, prepares for a good fight, and never loses her sense of humor. This is a provocative book that will appeal to anyone, male or female, who wants some old-fashioned common sense about relations between the sexes. <br/><br/> <strong>&#147;We depend on manly characteristics to keep us safe.</strong> Every single one of the dead firemen heroes on 9/11 were men. This was one group where liberals didn't ask why there wasn't a more pleasing gender balance, because the Upper West Side is not fireproof. What happens in combat in some distant field is abstract to liberals, but they can understand the need to have strong, brave men in their fire department.&#148; &#151;Kate O'Beirne</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong><em>Kate OBeirne is fed up with women who make the world worse.</em></strong> <br/><br/> Fueled by their persecution fantasies, modern feminists have been calling for radical social engineering to eliminate any differences between the sexes. They insist that any sex differences are the result of social construction, not biology. So they want boys and men to be reprogrammed and treated for their pathology. <p> Many of these women are public figures who use their notoriety in acting, pop music, television, or politics to spout unfounded bad ideas and harebrained schemes: Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Hillary Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Maureen Dowd, and many more. <p> Kate OBeirne captures the radical feminists in their own words, explains why theyve got it all wrong, and shows why they have to be stoppedbefore they do even more damage to our schools, families, workplaces, and sports. BACKCOVER: Anyone still operating under the delusion that feminist is synonymous with pro-woman should find this [book] a useful reality check.<br/> <em>The Wall Street Journal</em> <br/><br/> Thank you, Kate OBeirne! With wit and smarts she drives a stake through the heart of radical feminism, naming names, and takes down the modern sisterhood in a fearless, funny, and factual way. And its long overdue. Know your enemy. Buy this gutsy book!<br/> Rush Limbaugh <br/><br/> What a romp of a book. Funny and smart and typical of the shrewd, informed analysis we relish from Kate OBeirne.<br/> Peggy Noonan, author of <em>John Paul the Great</em> <br/><br/> Once again, Kate OBeirnes insights on politics and the culture make us think, laugh, and stand up and cheer. Rolling back the influence of the false prophets of feminism and grrrrrl power takes facts, passion, and intellectall of which we find in this important book.<br/> Laura Ingraham, author of <em>Shut Up &amp; Sing</em> <br/><br/> Some women protest,Im a feminist, just not a radical feminist. Kate OBeirne is impatient with such qualifications. She is not any kind of feminist, and when you finish her sparkling new book, <em>Women Who Make the World Worse</em>, you wont be one either.<br/> Mona Charen, syndicated columnist <br/><br/> <em>Women Who Make the World Worse</em> is, to be sure, an entertaining, often humorous exposé of the modernist feminist movement, but at the same time, its a sober wake-up call.<br/> David Limbaugh, syndicated columnist <br/><br/> OBeirne brings wit and common sense to bear on the weird and rancorous world of orthodox feminism she has written a rousing, scintillating, and badly needed book.<br/> Christina Hoff Sommers</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>A top conservative writer explores the feminist assault on our families, schools, workplaces, and military</strong> <br/><br/> As a woman, Kate O'Beirne can say things a male commentator could never get away with. In her long-awaited first book, she takes on America's leading feminists&#151;including Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Maureen Dowd, Kate Michelman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and even <em>Sex and the City</em>'s Carrie Bradshaw. She confronts them with hard evidence of how women like them have done more harm than good over the last four decades. <p> O'Beirne is all for women's equality and celebrates the unprecedented opportunities they enjoy today. But she faults those feminists who believe that a hostile patriarchy reigns and that women remain its helpless victims. Their agenda is not profemale; it's merely antimale. <p> <em>Women Who Make the World Worse</em> shows how their destructive handiwork can be felt in every corner of American life, including:<br/> &#149; fractured families and dispensable dads<br/> &#149; offices and schools that have become battlegrounds in the gender wars<br/> &#149; military units that put lives at risk to promote social engineering <p> This book takes on some very powerful women and challenges beliefs that have become feminist orthodoxy, starting with the myth that men are the enemy of women's progress. O'Beirne marshals her allies, prepares for a good fight, and never loses her sense of humor. This is a provocative book that will appeal to anyone, male or female, who wants some old-fashioned common sense about relations between the sexes. <br/><br/> <strong>&#147;We depend on manly characteristics to keep us safe.</strong> Every single one of the dead firemen heroes on 9/11 were men. This was one group where liberals didn't ask why there wasn't a more pleasing gender balance, because the Upper West Side is not fireproof. What happens in combat in some distant field is abstract to liberals, but they can understand the need to have strong, brave men in their fire department.&#148; &#151;Kate O'Beirne</p></p></p>]]>

Their agenda is not profemale; it's merely antimale. <p> <em>Women Who Make the World Worse</em> shows how their destructive handiwork can be felt in every corner of American life, including:<br/> &#149; fractured families and dispensable dads<br/> &#149; offices and schools that have become battlegrounds in the gender wars<br/> &#149; military units that put lives at risk to promote social engineering <p> This book takes on some very powerful women and challenges beliefs that have become feminist orthodoxy, starting with the myth that men are the enemy of women's progress. O'Beirne marshals her allies, prepares for a good fight, and never loses her sense of humor. This is a provocative book that will appeal to anyone, male or female, who wants some old-fashioned common sense about relations between the sexes. <br/><br/> <strong>&#147;We depend on manly characteristics to keep us safe.</strong> Every single one of the dead firemen heroes on 9/11 were men. This was one group where liberals didn't ask why there wasn't a more pleasing gender balance, because the Upper West Side is not fireproof. What happens in combat in some distant field is abstract to liberals, but they can understand the need to have strong, brave men in their fire department.&#148; &#151;Kate O'Beirne</p></p></p>]]>
