"Mommie Dearest: Chinese Style"

The media and the blogosphere has been all abuzz about Yale Law Professor Amy Chua's article and book about the superiority of Chinese mothers. Here's my take, in my RightNetwork column. Link here.

While you are reading it and are reading the intense and highly defensive criticisms of Chua, I would recommend that you keep in mind these words from former Yale student, Elizabeth Wurtzel. (Wurtzel took courses with both Chua and her husband and seems to have known her children.) From Wurtzel's Twitter: "Also, Amy Chua, aka insane Chinese mother, and husband Jed Rubenfeld, were among my favorite professors at law school Their kids seem fine."

"Have Feminists Gotten It All Wrong?"

My new Right Network column is up: Have Feminists Gotten It All Wrong?

In it I offer some thoughts on a DoubleX article by Jessica Olien. Comparing women's lives in America and Holland Olien asked, as a feminist: "Have we gotten it all wrong?"

A good and provocative question, well worth some reflection.

My new RightNetwork column, "Americans Vote for Pride" is up. It explores one of the overlooked reasons why Americans voted as they did in the last election. Call it an exercise in Poli Psych. Link here.
