Caitlin Flanagan<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n www.colbertnation.com<\/a><\/p>\n Colbert Report Full Episodes<\/a> Okay, this post means nothing in the grand scheme of things. I really should have my nose buried in a report on consolidation in the agriculture sector, or be working on a real article. But ever since I read Caitlin Flanagan’s oh-so-contrarian rant against school gardens <\/a>and the women who volunteer for them (which I responded to here<\/a>), I’ve become a bit (a very little bit) obsessed. Flanagan, as anyone who cares now knows, has made a career out of tweaking women for leaving home and hearth to work when they could be feathering some (presumably well-off) bloke’s nest. Above, bedecked in pink, she spars with Colbert back in 2006, promoting an anti-feminist book called To Hell With All That. Colbert demands to know precisely what pre-feminist golden age she pines for. She tentatively settles on the ‘50 and ‘60s, but seems much less than convinced. Then there’s this hilarious Gawker slam<\/a>, also from ‘06, that offers insight into Flanagan’s rep in New York publishing circles. It refers to her as “the rich lady who’s made a career of telling you what a bad wife and mother you are for needing to work.”<\/p>\n Related Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n Coal power plant timelapse<\/a><\/p>\n Stephen Colbert on mountaintop-removal mining<\/a><\/p>\n
