The Lifetime school of anti-feminism

The only thing better than anti-feminist articles that rely on hackneyed stereotypes or the overuse of scare quotes are anti-feminist articles that insist feminism is no longer needed because stations like Lifetime and Oxygen exist.
Enter Bernard Chapin. Chapin has a special place in my heart since he wrote the funniest—and most telling—piece ever on Feministing a couple of years ago. Of all his complaints about the site, Chapin seemed most upset that we didn’t fit into his “comforting� stereotype of feminists as “horrendously ugly,� but were in fact “young and fit.� (By the way, that line still makes me want to scrub my skin off.)
In Chapin’s latest piece of genius, “Women Are Not Oppressed,” he responds to an article penned by graduate student Jenny Dombrowski discussing the need for feminism.

Although her accusations are quite preposterous, I will live up to my burden of rejoinder by analyzing them because crazed feminists multiply and become more powerful when good men think they’re above responding to them.

Also, if you feed us after midnight:

What makes me kind of feel bad for Chapin (ok, not really) is that his arguments are just so…well, stupid.

I guess she has never heard of Oxygen or Lifetime, cable channels devoted entirely to presenting women as empowered superheroes—a perspective that can be ironically juxtaposed with the channels’ actual viewership which consists of irritable, discombobulated, depressioniacs.

What does a discombobulated depressioniac look like, I wonder? (Alliteration is fun, huh Bernie?)
There are plenty of gems in there as you can imagine, but my favorite is when Chapin mocks Dombrowski for bringing up the ERA:

In this statement we witness the radical feminist incapacity for abstract thought along with their complete lack of education.

Uh huh. Maybe he should stick to griping about Lifetime movies.
