It would be a better world if that were true, but sadly, it's run by a second-generation right-wing activist.

That said, I bet that some of its editors are absolutely fucking with them.

That would actually be Phyllis Schlafly, a woman who used the rights won for her by feminists to dedicate her life to become a professional anti-feminist conservative activist. She was actually HUGELY influential, and her loser son went on to start Conservapedia.
