	But some feminists note that CP is often the only middle-aged
woman to show up on the covers of magazines that usually feature only
men and fashion models. They suspect some conspiracy, that she is
beloved by a certain kind of male chauvinist pig.

	These feminists see CP as a traitor to their cause because she
supports all sorts of regressive stereotypes, like men being
natural-born, yes, natural-born civilization-builders. Never mind that
she is a counterexample to some of the stereotypes she puts forth.

	An alternate view among some feminists is that she is just
sounding Politically Incorrect just to provoke people, and that those
who swallow her statements whole just don't get the joke. She is like
(say) someone who hangs up in a Catholic church big posters of a
certain M. Louise Ciccone.

	Susie Bright, a lesbian feminist, diagnoses her as a "butch
bottom", something that SB herself insists she's not (she dresses very
femme, yet she's very assertive). SB also claims that some of her
friends say about CP that "I can see that you haven't gotten any in a
long time."

	She did not want to associate herself with someone she saw as
the enemy. How many Jews enjoy getting into arguments about what some
neo-Nazi has to say?

	Waah!

	She's gotten more favorable coverage than GS, so what is _she_
crying about?

	Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo.

	And what makes _him_ an expert on the female sex, when he's
been married _twice_?

	I can't wait for Phyllis Schlafly to show up on Rush
LameBrain's show.
