Anti-feminist org wants to “bring back the hope chest”

Who says anti-feminists are out of touch? I mean, who wouldn’t want to enter a contest where the prize is an old cedar chest filled with linens…or something. Seriously, the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute has a campaign to “Bring Back the Hope Chest.” (And all you have to do is convince your friends to sign up for these super fab “Luce Ladies” calendars!)
I was going to write a post about this, but Ann and I had a Skype conversation a couple of days back that I think says it all. Check it after the jump.

Jessica Valenti: OMG

i love this: “The prize (you guessed it–a fabulous, authentic, cedar-lined hope chest filled to the brim with fun, fancy and frivoulous items that any newlywed would would envy) not only celebrates marriage, but makes the man-hating feminists crazy!”
AF: hahahahaha
JV: hope chests make us crazy?

an anti-feminist douche comes with every chest!
AF: take back the loser!
you not only get the sweet retro wedding gear, you get the actual schlub to marry!
JV: when you open the chest, laser beams shoot out and disintegrate any diplomas hanging around
AF: and automatically impregnate you
and zap the shoes off your feet
and put a rolling pin in your hand
JV: ah, antifeminism
