Christina Hoff Sommers seems to have only one thing to say. (She’s a hedgehog not a fox.) That thing is: feminism sucks!!
A sample from her Twitter output.

It’s not the patriarchy, but third-wave feminism, that undermines young women’s freedom. Great read by @ashtenthinks http://www.pocketfullofliberty.com/third-wave-feminism/There are rules of evidence & anyone worth taking seriously must abide by them–including feminists.@LadyGirlPerson @GodDoesnt @ashtenthinks
Wash Post & TNR just had weak posts on gender pay gap. For high-powered thinking on topic, check out these 2 guys. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303532704579483752909957472
Due process has no lobby. Republicans & Dems do the bidding of gender warriors. Not a word about falsely accused. http://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/235449362 …
Malicious and dishonest headline
alert! http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/07/31/atheist-king-richard-dawkins-s-rape-fantasy.html …ICYMI:Watch this smart Yale undergrad politely demolish 20 years of phony research on sexism in science & tech.

She used to be an academic, and she’s become a party hack – and all for the sake of attacking feminism for a right-wing think tank.
Gaaahhh! She tends to turn me into Feminist Hulk.
Same here. She’s so repetitive, so smug, so neener-neener.
I haven’t read her stuff for 15 years or so. Like most anti-feminists, her schtick was to focus on the most extreme second-wavers, distort their views a bit and pretend this was all of feminism. Now I’m curious what she’s doing with the third wave. Can she make Laci Greene scary?
Caroline Criado-Perez is not cis.
Are you cis?
The Daily Beast piece that CHS derides for its headline could have (with a little tweaking of its ignorant snark about atheists) come from a too-long comment on any of several FtBlogs.
She may have a point about the sensationalist headline, but I can’t tell if she wants to defend Dawkins or just picked a bit of DB hype at random. To find out would require looking into whatever other opinions Sommers (Hoff Somers?) may have previously emitted on atheists and/or our king (when did he switch from Pope?) – and frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.
