		<description><![CDATA[Alecia Simmonds is a feminist. Or at least she thinks she is one- and the proof is that she can get her rant on with holy buzzwords like &#8216;patriarchy.&#8217;  Simmonds rips through a guffaw-inducing conflation of veganism &#38; feminism in a way that surely has feminist separatists hollering &#8220;right on, SISTAH!&#8221; At the same time, Simmonds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The NRA is crowing about their influence after the UNODC was unable to get an international small arms trading treaty ratified. The NRA&#8217;s line to the rank-and-file membership is that this treaty would allow the UN to take guns out of the hands of US citizens. Yep, &#8216;Obama &#38; the UN are comin&#8217; fer yer gunnnnz- [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The two-party US electoral system is rubbish. It does not afford minority representation as does a Parliamentary system. Voting for a 3rd party candidate in US presidential elections is, in the most generous of estimations, the same as not voting at all. Some of Obama&#8217;s policies are morally indefensible, specifically the use of drones in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s Fairfax op-ed section, Anne Summers writes expansively on how feminism and &#8216;pro-life&#8217; positions on abortion are mutually exclusive. Of course, she&#8217;s dead right. First, the term &#8216;pro-life&#8217; is nonsensical. Every normal human on the planet is &#8216;pro-life.&#8217; To suggest otherwise implies that there&#8217;s some &#8216;pro-death&#8217; people out there who would like to see [...]]]></description>
