Why is it sexist to talk about a female candidate in any sexual way, but it's just groovy to talk about a male candidate in the same way? Not that I care, but the hypocrisy in broadsheet is breath taking.

Since some couldn't understand the hypocrisy of this article and all the other BS written at BS (not just about Sara Palin, anyone remember Hillary?) ....I boiled it down to a couple of snippets.

I ask you, would these comments pass the "should a journalist ever say this about a female candidate" sexism test ? Imagine Chris Matthews making comparable comments about Sara or Hillary...what would the Broadsheeot response be ?

"....as I explain how I feel about Biden -- swoony, sweaty, Joe Fucking Biden! -- I have to check myself. To what extent is this a base physical response, a girlie crush indicative of nothing substantive and perhaps even somewhat embarrassing? Maybe. Possibly. Probably."

"To what extent is it my throbbing boner (pardon the expression) for gentlemen and scholars? As one of my friends said this morning, he played the romantic hero. And I know it might sound weird, but as I watched him last night one word kept popping into my head, and that word was: virile."

Your generalizations about prostitution are quite inaccurate. There are a large portion of prostitutes that are middle class that choose to do the exploiting as a means to pay for college or what ever other finer things in life they want. Look at Gov Spitzer's high priced call girl. She gave up her "real job" so she could buy gucci bags and designer clothes. Yes there are poor women who are exploited, but there are also not so poor women who do the exploiting. Your inability to recognize this leaves you intellectually compromised. I suggest you google escorts if you think upscale prostitution is not a significant part of the business. ( I could blame all women when criticizing your views, but that would be bigoted ).

File for divorce.

Demand full custody.

Start collecting 28% of your husbands income.

....and I'm sure your emotional affair with a teenager had nothing to do with anything you said....it was simply his misunderstanding of your complex life.....Ha !

You've asked this question before and I have answered before. It's not enough to be a man, you have to work like a man too. That means after accounting for job industry, experience and education.....you still have to compete. I mean think about it, half of the men out there are making less than the other half. It's called competition. So even if you have the right degree in the right profession with the right number of years of experience, you still have to be as productive as your peers. I have yet to hear a woman on broadsheet say they are willing to compete with men on number of hours worked which doesn't appear to be accounted for. Most of the highest paid men I have worked with tend to also be the ones logging the most hours....or another way to say it...the most productive.

I knew some clueless person would say working more hours doesn't necessarily mean more productivity. We're not talking about individuals, like yourself, we're talking about averages across very large numbers of people where, on average, more hours would mean more work done. Unless your saying women are naturally more productive than men...are you ?

Please explain how it is chauvinistic to say men that work more hours should be paid more ? People are paid for how they produce at the office.....not what their family make up is.

Thank you for that insightful post.

Didn't we have this debate 10 months ago when all the liberal men were accused of being sexist for not supporting Hillary ? I seem to recall posting something myself that included basically all the same names mentioned here. Glad to see you've taken your blinders off.

Based on whats happened through the primaries and the general election campaign you (BS) feminists really need to do some soul searching on what it is that you represent. I really believe you have isolated and minimized yourselves as a political voice.

There is something erotic about this fantasy piece. But that's really as far as it goes. Unfortunately the last time I read about a female bodyguard it was a russian gal who had been killed trying to defend her porsche from being carjacked.

Oh yeah, they look alot like Hillary's fringe supporters.

Thanks for posting the other link. That was the funnier one in my humble opinion, however I have to say, I laughed the loudest when Mark Wahlberg strolled into the frame asking for Adam Sandberg. Now that was funny.

I appreciate your attempt to inject men's rights into this discussion, being the type of forum this is. I have always thought men's rights in this discussion have always been woefully lacking. The argument feminists make that men lose their choice when they choose not to use a condom really boxes them into the same argument. Why should women have a right to an abortion when they had the same rights to pre-conception birth control ? Financial opt out is one option.

At any rate, I think what would make a more level playing field would be to hold women to the same requirements men have for raising a child. If you hold the man financially responsible, why not hold the woman financially responsible as well ? ie Legally women should be held accountable including jail time for not making a minimum amount of money, set forth by the government, to support their child. When that happens I think we will see reform in the ridiculous child support laws.
