		<description><![CDATA[The real value of feminism is that it can ensure that every woman knows her  worth and her right to a happy life - that she is entitled to human egalitarian privilege, which is greater than the rights known by other forms of life; not by begrudgingly taking away the rights of others - of men and transsexuals or members of other races or dwellers of other countries, etc. - but by raising up the wonderful aspects of her self and her femaleness, those aspects that make her a valuable member of collective society: her motherhood, her sisterhood and her ability to love and care for others.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=1578&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, 2009, was a great year for women's issues in English language cinema. Though mainstream critics may have missed the boat on most of them, I hereby take it upon myself to rate 10 films on two scales: 1. relevance to contemporary feminism and 2. cinematic achievement. Each scale allows me to designate films 1 - 10 and then add the two numbers together for a final total, which determines placement on the list. With this system in play, I present a "Top Ten" ranking that includes fair to outstanding movies that American audiences witnessed in 2009.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=1231&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While Clinton kept forging ahead in the primary campaign, speaking forcefully into microphone after microphone, other women on the trail did something much different: Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain, wives of Obama and Republican presidential nominee John McCain respectively, posed for the camera. They appeared in issues of Vogue magazine. (Where's Bill Clinton's fashion spread, I wonder?)<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=5&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now we turn from politics in sports back to the Democratic politics of the moment. It’s almost time to have a vote in the final five remaining states – or 10 percent – between frontrunner Barack Obama and prematurely eulogized Hillary Clinton. The finish line is close but the race is not over.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=4&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
