The XX Factor: Slate women blog about politics, etc...
-
Rachael is so not our Elisabeth Hasselbeck ! And seriously, Ellen , how are we divisive? Au contraire, I'd say we are a model of comity - the U.N. of blogs, really, only with no corruption and no Libya on the Security Council. We've been at this for a Read More...

Kathleen Parker says her fellow conservative Sarah Palin has exhausted her cringe reflex, and I hear her on that. Mine has been overtaxed for years. Remember the presidential debate for which some malevolent (or high, maybe?) makeup artist painted Al Read More...

So, does this mean that Bristol Palin has already been forced down the aisle? (On Facebook, she's Bristol Palin-Johnston now.) If so, I hope the Palin-Johnstons beat the odds. But if she was frog-marched into church on our account, I'm sorry, because Read More...

On The Daily Show last night, Jon Stewart showed footage of a few of Eliot Spitzer's predecessors in the "Parade of Shame,'' who, as he said, were "all following the one simple rule of public humiliation: Bring a date.'' Then Samantha Bee gave us the Read More...

I never thought the day would come when I'd look at a photo of civil rights hero John Lewis and think unflattering thoughts, but here we are. When I first moved to Washington 35 years ago—OK, 13, but some of those years were longer than others, which Read More...

When Hillary Clinton tugs on me, Emily and Hanna , it is usually not in a good way. Sometimes I do feel sorry for her, but I can't imagine casting a pity vote for president. Nor do I want to be guilted, frightened, fooled, or worn down to the point that Read More...

Ellen , that is how I felt after I read an interview with The Sopranos ' creator David Chase way back when, explaining that every word out of every character's mouth was a lie. (Up until then, I'd spent the whole hour going, "Well, that's not true ... Read More...

Michelle Obama is no Nancy Reagan, either, and I think maybe all of these women are just trying to "pop'' on TV. But—shameless forced transition alert—whatever shade we're in the market for ... doesn't it seem like the phrase "shop until you drop'' is Read More...

Now this is interesting; I see where a focus group of Republican women has declared Mike Huckabee the winner of last night's debate. These undecided, right-leaning women thought Mitt Romney came off as phony, arrogant and "a snake''—and one woman who Read More...

Via Talking Points Memo, some video of Hillary Clinton arguing this morning that caucusing is particularly hard for women—who see voting as something private and are uneasy standing up and talking about their candidate of choice. It sounds some familiar Read More...

Watching the tragedy of Benazir Bhutto's assassination unfold Thursday should have provided a sobering reality check for everyone who bemoans the state of politics in this country. We can go on endlessly about how divided our electorate is, about how Read More...

I'm seeing this remarkable photo of Hillary Clinton all over today. On Drudge, first and foremost, but also on blogs that are discussing it. Like Ann Althouse, I first reacted with disbelief. Then a million questions popped into my head. How much of our Read More...

I agree with Dahlia and Emily that gender is a big part of it for many of the Hillary hatas out there. A while back I mentioned a study that suggests we see "manly women" as "pretenders," which does seem to suggest that lots of us murkily associate not Read More...

OK, XX Team, most of you are solid supporters of choice, so please help me out here. After my piece on Michelle and Barack Obama’s marriage ran yesterday, a lot of the reaction I saw on the Web boiled down to: I’m not interested in anything that woman Read More...
-
Emily, you genius! Now that is the way to warm Hillary up for the true swing voter: get her out there single again, dating, and vulnerable. (I could see her with Mitt Romney, but never mind.) She would lose none of benefit of having been Mrs. Bill Clinton, Read More...

The early reviews of XX Factor are in, and they’re ambivalent, to put it nicely. The complaint is mostly the concept. At Tapped, Dana Goldstein is "discouraged that another mainstream publication has put its feminist blogging in a separate space." At Read More...
