Okay, that's an outrageous title but it does capture some of the truth. Her op-ed in the neo-con WaPo is entitled "Mother Of All Blunders" and it shamelessly uses the capture of the British sailors and marines to advance her conservative agenda. To wit, a woman's place is at home.
She has found "common cause with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" because he "wondered why a once-great power such as Britain sends mothers of toddlers to fight its battles." Parker opposes almost any form of modern equality between the sexes and loathes feminism.
