I always thought “feminist police” accusations were fictions deployed by thin skinned bullies to avoid circumspection or admitting error. But then I read this in the NYT:
… During the hearing itself, Ms. Rice did not appear to take issue with Ms. Boxer’s comments. During the interview, she addressed them only in response to a question. But the White House spokesman, Tony Snow, had suggested earlier today that Senator Boxer’s comments were anti-feminist. …
Huh, perhaps there really are feminist police, and they are Republican. Go figure!
