Amidst
troubling reports of our nation's economic woes and pressing
national security issues, writes Cathy Young, one news story has
received little attention: President Obama's March 11 executive
order establishing a White House Council on Women and Girls. While
the Council's role is likely to be more symbolic than practical,
its creation, and the accompanying rhetoric, suggests that Obama is
bringing a blinkered, outdated approach to gender issues—one that,
far from transcending ideological divisions, takes us back to a
narrow and dogmatic feminist ideology.
