Unintended Feminist Consequences or Is Women's Lib One Toke over the Line?

      My Claddagh Court buddy opines that the reason I lost last time I ran for city council was that I can't a) castrate pigs and b) don't even own a gun!

      For out-of-staters, this is an inside Iowa joke. A woman named Joni Ernst is running for Tom Harkin's U.S. Senate seat. Her early advertising bragged she knew how to “cut pork” because she grew up castrating pigs on her father's farm and “went viral.”

      Lieutenant Colonel Ernst, currently commander of the largest battalion in the Iowa National Guard, appears in another advert on a motorcycle packing a pistol to a shooting range where she does target practice. With the gun violence plaguing this country that she will be called upon to vote on if she is elected?

Critical Eye, a long-time, hard-line feminist, sits wondering if female suicide bombers and pistol packing female lieutenant commanders aren't a reflection of Feminism gone awry? Is this where you end up when you march for the right to control your own body and take out a loan in your own name? The law of unintended consequences on steroids? What?
