Mommies

I remember a commenter offering support for Sally Fields' worldview: if only moms ran the world it would be a better place.

So, when I read about this piece on Instapundit, I thought it was worth linking:

Sally Field and her ilk don’t really mean they want just any mom or woman to run the world, what she really meant when she talked about moms taking over is that leftist women should run the world. Notice that the women who are always talking about how great and different things would be if women were in charge never mention real women leaders like Condi Rice or Margaret Thatcher because they are conservatives. Unlike some leftist women who think that their sex puts them beyond the human traits of aggressiveness and violence, Rice and Thatcher understand that the realities of national security mean that negotiation and “making nice” with the schoolyard bully does not always work.

Hey, how does it feel to be an "ilk?"
