Edelman Resigns Under Pressure; Her Defense Provokes Laughter

Dan Lynch submitted this article from White Horse Star in the apparently ongoing controversy over remarks about the radical women's movement by Yukon minister of women's issues Sue Edelman. Apparently, Edelman had already resigned as of Friday, several days prior to the initial posting of her story here. What is more unfortunate is that she has publicly apologized for her anti-radical-feminist remarks in her e-mail (Edelman had referred to radical feminists as "feminazis" in an e-mail titled "women's movement dying"). Statements made in her defense by the prime minister during the public statement were laughed at by black T-shirt wearing feminists, some of whom surrounded Edelman's husband in the audience.
