ten phyllis the u.s. and its allies you see is how they chose this stalemate the u.s. and its allies have chosen the side as well in this and again making it more and more interesting the side for a change although nobody can say she says the truth is you were shooting for the significant taters and the like but it's the same time is that this was cheers exactly i will choose the dictators including good selfie so we go belly up you know the war we have all the treasures what we call the rest of the region so we trust in them a little tribute in washington one issue is usually they're doing it wrong exactly or using military force in a way that is guaranteed and i said it before they did it and i say that it has come true that the military force has made a military stalemate emerge in libya it is now whatever you want to call it i'm not going to fight over the words but there are two military forces battling for control of territory there is likely to be a stalemate that's going to go on for a long as i c

art he's a libyan political analyst and another member of our cross talk e-mail on the hunger right phyllis i'd like to go to you first you know we're both americans and we're used to having presidents having doctrines when it comes to foreign policy and we had harry truman he had a universal policy on your universal doctrine that is if you support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation ok john f. kennedy pay any price bear any burden to assure the survival and success of liberty we all remember that one then we should it's a good saying george w. bush had his own to the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in the world now mr obama a few days ago had the following to say let's discuss it this is his doctrine. americans should not be expected to police the world particularly when we have so many pressing concerns here at home is that a doctrine should it be a doctrine should it be in braced and is it being acted out through us well i don't think that's a doctrine i think it's a statement of lowering expectations i also think that one of the problems with all of these doctrines is t

certainly phyllis has done a lot of speeches at colleges. for me at 43, i'm just starting out there. i don't know what's going to happen. i'm concerned. that's why i said when i stood up, i see all of the young lady's faces, it's so wonderful. again, that's the group that i'm trying to reach. >> well, i think the colleges have been infected in nearly all of the departments if you want to be safe, take engineering. but don't waste your education dollar on womens studies. they are absolutely the worst. and it's just a lot of feminism, lesbian propaganda. >> and it goes back decades. my husband would get lower grades. this is the early '80s because he would argue with or take issue with what they were teaching. he would attempt to provide an alternate view point. the power is off of the charts. it's just awful. >> i had one more down here. >> think, i'm lynnette. it seems on both sides of the aisle men have becomed weakened by the feminism movement even if they do agree with things that are advocated in your book. >> right. exactly. my hope is

matriarch of the conservative movement, phyllis schlafly, is back with a new book. in it, she examines the role feminism played over the last four decades. her conclusion? tomorrow l feminism made women less happy. >> "the flipside of feminism" shows the other side of feminism people never hear from the media or in high school and college. feminism teaches young women to think they are victims of an oppressive patriarch. that is so unfortunate. american women are the most fortunate class of people who ever lived on the face of the earth. >> in the last 40 years, women have entered the workforce in greater numbers and made strides in education with women now outnumbering men on liberal arts college campuses. women's involvement in politics increased with hillary clinton becoming the first woman to win state primaries in a presidential race. but schlafly, who teamed up with her niece, suzanne venker, to write the book, says those achievements are not due to feminism. >> i worked my way though college at a great university and got my degree in 1944 - that was long befo

another myth is the idea, phyllis brought this up as well, that casual sex is somehow liberating. that the more sex you have or the freer that you are with your body is somehow meaning you own your body, and it's empowering and liberating for you. it's a horrendous message. and we have a copious amount of research in "flipside" that is very politically incorrect that will tell you the truth about the horrible fallout of what we call our hook-up culture. we also provide in the appendix permits from -- excerpts from an excellent pamphlet that a dr. miriam grossman put together concerning this issue. and then, also, phyllis mentioned the other myth that i was going to talk about which is this idea that gender differences don't exist, that there's really no difference between males and females. in a recent interview gloria steinem was asked about her thoughts on the latest research between male and female brains which there's been a lot lately in the last few years which has been great. and a doctor wrote both the female brain and the male brain, and this is all in the last few years,

>>> up next phyllis schlafly discusses the flip side of feminism. the co-authors argue while women have more power, freedom and education, they are less happy. they believe men have been miscast as optical for women and contend both sexes have been hurt by feminism. [applause] >> thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. yes i've had an interesting and fun of life and i don't know any of it to the feminists. i will tell you that. feminism has become a very hot topic. i suppose the reason for that is sarah palin, a feminist cannot resist attacking sarah palin. it's not just because she's a republican and conservative. it's because she is a successful woman. she has a cruel husband, a lot of kids, great career, making lots of money. she is by any standard the success and they can't stand it and acid in their wounds is that she's pretty, too. [laughter] so, the feminists don't believe that women can be successful in the united states. they think women are oppressed by the patriarchy. they are held down by mean men and they need the government to rescu

and also phyllis mentioned the other myths that i was going to talk about. which is this idea that gender differences don't exist. there's really no difference between males and females. in a recent interview, gloria steinham was asked about her thoughts on male and female brains. there's been a lot lately in the last few weeks. which has been great. dr. louann wrote the female and male been. men and women are different. which we know. but now it's in print. steinham's response? every time there's a step forward, there's a backlash. now there's a backlash about brain differences. even if they are right, it doesn't have to continue. what makes human species survive is adaptability. aren't there differences we cannot ignore? society certainly intervene at a cultural level to change that behavior. fortunately, just this past january, just two months ago, a dr. katherine hakeem published a report that highlights a dozen feminist myths. some of which we have mentioned, but she provides a full dozen. these myths, she said, quote, have no solid basis in social scie

different torture is a special case of human rights for the actions even a single episode of torture phyllis's the obligation of the state to investigate prosecute and punish obviously punish if there is merit upon. but so i have repeatedly called not only the united states government but every other government to live up to that obligation. i don't think. the crimes that can be swept under the rug and pretend that they didn't happen and if that's. so for people who think that that will enhance the reputation of the united states abroad that's exactly the opposite of what will happen in the united states insist on all other countries to live up to their human rights of the geisha and some one of them is to investigate torture so i think this has to happen here as well bringing it to light. perhaps not exactly all right i want to thank you so much for joining me one mendez a un special rapporteur on cruel inhumane and degrading treatment or punishment thank you very much a pleasure to be. wealthy british. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy because the report. says i

i know you are addressing that but phyllis in on how that is moving forward. >> that procedure is moving forward. what we are doing is that is part of the accountability we are doing by the public law. we are going to reese can't all of our records. we are tying that to a digital flight over of each and every gravesite so we truly will have a digital process for our recordkeeping. if i could go back to the question about the mistakes that happened the new standards and procedures that we have in place, the work force when they made that mistake immediately notified the chain of command that there was a switch in the two grave sites so the procedures we are putting in place are working because the work force when they made a mistake came forward to the leadership. i don't know if you want to expand on that. >> the missassignment of the grave sites. the leadership was not trusted. it was all part of the tongue inspector general's report. they said they made a mistake and even though the new procedures were new and had been trained for those procedures and made the mistake they came forward

of them and began to read, you know, 19th century african-american poets, you know, lucy cherry, phylliswheatley, and a number of other writers. i just took part many that big tribute to dunbar, one of the most versatile writers in american history. novelist, poet, song writer. so that's what turned me on to poetry was the poetry of walt whitman. what can you express in poetry that you can't express in a novel or in nonfiction? >> guest: well, i think it's a, i think with poetry there's a matter of originality that as a novelist or as a prose writer one can get away with cliches, and some of the great writers will drop a cliche once in a while. but i think the poets i admire, those who can put together a line or an image that one wouldn't think of. you know, for example, charles sennett, he's a good example of someone who compares, for example, the face of a watermelon with a buddhist face or, you know, just surprising analogies of what poets do. and i think the younger poets, the younger poets fall into the trap of writing long poems. i give them the 11-line rule. you know, try to do --

phyllis from countryside, illinois. democrats' line. caller: good morning, a young man. 72 years old and civic duty since i was 25. what i see going on here i believe can be a power of the president to use his powers by bringing all of our troops home. they are not going to get paid -- fine, bring them home. that is over 600,000 -- $600 billion to $700 billion a year saving plus the lives. and with all the imports coming from overseas from american companies not paying income tax, put a 25% tax on those countries, tariffs and so forth. then those american companies would have to pay the countries those 25% we would normally be getting any way. i find it despicable that they would stop our federal people from getting a paycheck, especially our troops. it is disgusting. and i am disgusted with all of congress. thank you for letting me speak. did host: thank you. you can join our conversation on line. our twitter page -- one of our viewers saying -- another story, a hearing from mr. de making news. available online. at the u.s. may conside

and i love tom phyllis what is going on. in his fashion. i hope it is a very good paper. it examines and gives a usual examination of the roots of the professed dichotomy of the views of russia's please in the world on the part of the two men who occupy the top leadership positions in russia today. dmitry medvedev and vladimir putin. there's a lot of discussion in my business about whether or not this difference in divergence and views israel or its contrived. in any event wherever you come down you hear the echo in this jury valuable paper of 40 authors identify as the conflict between the age-old conflict in russia between the finals and the western and the decline that division into a more subtle picture. at times overlapping even of how the main schools of foreign policy fought in russia today that are the toomas secret contradictions between the various schools that are in competition to prevent their views and make those count in policy terms. it is introduction to the book that will build on today's conference and we now ask the so what question. it's a journalisti

think during president bush's's visit the holdup was on the pakistani side and i wonder if you can phyllis and where that fits today. the second question, another area, devolution, a very, very sweeping change, lots of new responsibilities to the provinces. but i'm wondering about the financial side. do the provinces have a basis for paying for these new opportunities, are these new functions, and particularly i was wondering about, and i think it is part of the devolution, the fact that the provinces now have the right to borrow money. yes. i think excellent questions first of all. i share with you my own view about the role of the treaties and promoting investment. my own view, and i could be wrong, is the role of having a business investment treaty between the two countries and generally promoting investment between two countries is usually not so great. of course it might provide a certain extra safeguards which might elevate some super risk adverse people's concerns, but that we have a thriving and historic the tested achievement of so many u.s. companies that it's not a new terrain w
