This is good news...unless you're Phyllis Schlafly:
When Obama presented his multi-trillion dollar budget, he declared with great fanfare that he was calling for a freeze in discretionary spending...Now we learn that all feminist programs and organizations will also be exempted from the freeze. Instead, they will get what White House spokesman Kate Bedingfield admits are “significant funding increases.”
A White House document entitled Opportunity and Progress for Women and Girls describes 15 federal programs that will receive increased funding...Chief among them is the Violence Against Women project, which is targeted for a 22 percent increase, an extra $117 million more than current funding, which is already close to $1 billion a year. [gratuitous slams on feminists omitted]
Naturally, the Godmother of the Women All Suck Movement is just sick that Obama would continue to fund daycare, Head Start, family planning, nutrition programs for low-income families, and enforcement of equal pay laws. It's all just pandering to the feminists, according to Schlafly. Because as everyone knows, any program that affects more than half the population of America is really just a calculated political appeal to that tiny, radical fringe known as women.
