The preening perversion of men who would murder children fresh out of their mother's womb for the crime of being born female sickens our heart and soul. Hatred and fear — side by side with love and adoration — of the female of the species is universal throughout all cultures, of course, but common sense would have told Communist Chinese functionaries that killing the girls would lead to a generation of desperate men. Common sense? Unintended consequences? That's never been part of the utopianist statist's palette. They know better than we what's best for us, and our individual hopes and dreams and human nature be damned. Above, Mary Cassatt's "La Toilette," oil on canvas c. 1891, The Art Institute of Chicago.
"May murdered baby girls haunt your dreams, Mr. President," we twittered in horror at the latest brain-dead outrage perpetrated by the current holder of the Leader of the Free World Seat. A horrified, outraged Jay Nordlinger at The Corner explains:
We, the United States, have been having human-rights talks with China. Our side is apparently led by Michael Posner, an assistant secretary of state. I will quote from an Associated Press report:I hope I have read that incorrectly, or am interpreting it incorrectly. Did we, the United States, talking to a government that maintains a gulag, that denies people their basic rights, that in all probability harvests organs, apologize for the new immigration law in Arizona? Really, really?Posner said in addition to talks on freedom of religion and expression, labor rights and rule of law, officials also discussed Chinese complaints about problems with U.S. human rights, which have included crime, poverty, homelessness and racial discrimination.
He said U.S. officials did not whitewash the American record and in fact raised on its [their?] own a new immigration law in Arizona that requires police to ask about a person’s immigration status if there is suspicion the person is in the country illegally.
But even as President Obama's mandarins mock the custodians of the Shining City Upon a Hill and insult all humankind and womankind by their unconscionable sit-down with the perpetrators of genocide and gynocide, a new generation of American women "walk softly but carry a big lipstick," as Lori Ziganto writes at Hot Air:
The left hates that phrase and they have ridiculed me for it on more than one occasion. You see, they don’t get it. It’s not surprising, really, as we’ve all known for some time that while the left trots out the For The Women™ meme constantly, they are anything but. The same way that self-avowed modern-day feminists are anything but feminist. In fact, they are diametrically opposed to feminism, by it’s very definition, because their entire agenda is actually harmful to women. This is why I now call them Femogynists and I’m taking the term feminist back.True feminists are women like Sarah Palin and Nikki Haley. They are the new faces of feminism. That has a great built-in bonus, too — they are far easier on the eyes and exhibit none of that irksome hysterical screeching like the irrelevant and soon to be extinct femogynists. They, and women like them, are coming to the forefront now.
You go, girls!
Updates: Linked in Michelle Malkin's "Buzzworthy"! And the horror continues as Michelle answers the question "Who is Michael Posner, and why is he apologizing to China? Also linked at Memeorandum and in Pundit & Pundette's "Today's recommended reads". Fausta too.

The Chinese have complaints about US human rights? Isn't this rather like fish griping about the humidity?

I'm a progressive who tries to make it his first priority to call out the Left for its own shortcomings before anything else.
There's clearly a lot that's wrong with this move by Obama, who is an embarrassment as a president and has far bigger things to apologize for, things HE HIMSELF has done.
I would only ask, though, that one not say that the "entire agenda" of self-described feminists be viewed as anti-women. That kind of all-or-nothing language leaves little room for debate and, similarly, for an allowance that both sides have some truth and - accordingly - something to offer in a continuous politico-cultural conversation.
Truth generally lies in the middle, and I will make sure that in my own work and in my own tweets, I hold Mr. Obama accountable for all the horrible things he has done and is doing as president.
Thanks for the time and the forum.
Gratefully,
