elorie points to a wonderful post by matociquala ("Post-feminist? I gotchyer post-feminist right here."), inspired by one Vox Day, aka Theodore Beale. Mr. Beale is earning himself top honors in the "All-Around Asshat" competition with gems like this:

The mental pollution of feminism extends well beyond the question of great thinkers. Women do not write hard science fiction today because so few can hack the physics, so they either write romance novels in space about strong, beautiful, independent and intelligent but lonely women who finally fall in love with rugged men who love them just as they are, or stick to fantasy where they can make things up without getting hammered by critics holding triple Ph.D.s in molecular engineering, astrophysics and Chaucer.

Just the sort of thing you love to hear coming from somebody on the 2004 Nebula Awards Novel jury, no? And interesting to hear coming from someone who himself writes Christian fantasy novels.

Another choice excerpt from another column:

An unconscionably stupid ideology, feminism's only redeeming characteristic is that it will likely eliminate itself before it eliminates society. Forget the Bible, even from a secular scientific perspective, it is an obvious evolutionary cul-de-sac, as delaying reproduction, embracing homosexuality and a harboring a prediliction for murdering one's young are not exactly the traits of a Darwinian survivor.
