Feminism or Firearms: What Empowers Women More?

"So, maybe the true feminist icon shouldn't be Gloria Steinem but Annie Oakley."

This is a particularly anti-feminist clip from "The Five," a show on FoxNews. It was aired November 1st, 2011.

The Five- Feminism or Firearms: What Empowers Women More?

I found the clip, aired November 1st, this week while looking for material for my  modern conservative feminist character for a comedic, satirical newscast we had to create for my Comedic Writing class here at Second City- Comedy Studies.

I do think there is a way to be a conservative and a feminist, but I do not think that most people who claim to be both truly are, according to my own definition of feminism, which is equality of the genders.

Enjoy.

    That;s horrible. What a barbarian suggestion. And btw, Annie Oakley shot as a skill, a sport, not to harm anyone, not even for self defense. She hunted as a child to feed her family, and then became an amazingly skilled sharp shooter.
