No, she ignored CBS’s double standard and relied on strawfeminist arguments. She basically discredited herself by relying on some dumb generalizations and not a main point–that CBS accepted an ad from Dobson’s group but not from a liberal church. Conservative women like Sally Jenkins love to pretend there’s a liberal media, but of course, that’s nonsense.

Um, no. She was ignoring the main point (CBS’s double standard) and engaging in straw(wo)man arguments.

I wrote her an email, and didn’t get a response back. Not sure if responses are even done. But I did post my email to her on RH.

Someone needs to tell Ms. Jenkins that CBS has rejected ads from liberal groups like the United Church of Christ and MoveOn while accepting an ad from Focus on the Family. Ask her if she thinks this is a double standard.

Ms. Jenkins automatically discredits herself with the usual “feminists in lockstep” strawfeminist nonsense. Once I got to that part I realized her analysis wasn’t worth much.

I think the whole point is that it’s about allowing perspective and that addresses options. To not allow a different viewpoint than your own is what’s problematic. She didn’t write that she hated feminists – she just expected backlash for stating that there are two sides.

What she says is right in the sense that we are slapping an athlete’s hand for being the embodiment of self control and character. If there were more men like Tebow in this world, there would be less women out there who are forced to consider abortion as an option.
