The IWF is a scrappy, conservative counterweight to N.O.W. that fields an impressive group of subject experts. You can check out their blog, the Inkwell. They're also a great resource for those fighting the campus Left. Students can sign up to become a member of IWF here. They have a campus corner page, as well as a student activist guide to get you started.
I don't agree with all their stances, but they're able to fight on ground my Y-chromosome won't allow me to reach.
Speaking of which, here's a scary feminist fantasy piece from NPR:
As Y Chromosome Shrinks, End of Men Pondered
I had the opportunity to hang around some of the IWF women when I worked on the Hill, and I have to agree with your assessment. They are really doing the yeomans work. (Pardon the pun)

Scientists theorize that the X and Y chromosome started out with about the same amount of genes -- about 1,000. Today, the Y chromosome has less than 80 genes.
They THINK? So, is there any evidence at all that the Y chromosome ever had more than 80? Has the Y chromosome changed AT ALL in the past -- how many years? -- that they've even been able to count genes? And wouldn't it be against the evolutionary theory that a species would evolve itself out of existence that way? I mean, I don't think our systems know on a cellular level that we have cloning nearly possible (according to some reports, lol). How else would our species reproduce?
And I don't know anything about science. I'd imagine an actual scientist could rip holes in this large enough to drive a Mack truck through!
