Maybe She Is A Man
Ann Coulter on the womans vote
If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.
Would a woman actually say something like that about her gender?
I think not,but what if s/he’s transgendered and in denial?
– it just might explain this, and a lot of other things.
Like the Adam’s apple that looks like she swallowed a baseball?
Perhaps Ms Coulter should remember that the 19th Amendment, which extended the right to vote to women in the United States, was ratified by a single vote in the Tennessee State Assembly — legend has it that vote was by a hapless legislator who later said his mother would have never spoken to him again if he saw its defeat.
Interestingly, Tennessee was also the only Confederate State to support it. It and Florida were also the only two States in the Deep South to support the ERA. Funny that Ann Coulter lives in the latter. If she’s against women’s rights, she should put her money where her mouth is and go to a Taliban controlled area of Afghanistan.
Sometimes, I wonder if Anne is a carefully crafted satire or a cynical money grab.
But yes, a woman might say that about her gender. As a girl-child who spent much of my youth as a tomboy, I said everything about “the girls” that the boys did, only stronger, so that I’d fit in. In my defense, I was *ten*.
She’s being macho, but also following a certain gender scripts – Coulter is self-reportedly anorexic, for example. “Anorexics never have boyfriends. … That’s one way to know you don’t have anorexia: if you have a boyfriend.” She whipping herself in public. It’s sad.
I don’t think she’s a satire any more. She used to deliberately overstep because it amused her fans and infuriated her foes, but I think the mask has melted into her face. Not unlike some well known URQ bloggers, she may once have had an ironic or polemical intent but, she’s discovered that (a) a large part of her audience never got the irony at all, take her viciousness at face value, and adopt her stances themselves, and (b) she needs to get nastier with each outing – otherwise the books wont sell and the tv appearances dry up.
I used to equate her with Michael Moore, but to his credit, he seems to have stepped back from the brink. Anne, however, has well and truly sold her soul.

Apparently a large chunk of the female vote in Ontario is going to Dalton McGuinty. So in this particular circumstance I almost wish Coulter could have her way. On the other hand I would cheerily take four more years of Dalton if Ann Coulter were to shut her piehole.
