Roy writes "There's an intriguing media battle going on right now as feminists are mounting a P.R. assault on satellite network DISH TV for pulling the plug on the womyn-centric "Lifetime" channel. Claiming that DISH TV, a private company, has no right to "deprive women of their favorite entertainment...." Lifetime's CEO writes -- "DISH has no right to decide for women that they should not have all of the viewing options for which they have paid — especially their favorite networks. The only disservice to women in this dispute is keeping Lifetime off the air." Another Evil Patriarchal plot to make women unhappy?"
