Palin is the anti feminist. EVERYTHING she stands for, every stand she's taken, from rabid anti choice, to demanding that rape victims PAY for their own evidence kits, is so anti woman and anti freedom that attempting to paint her as some ideal new example of progress is a cruel joke.
The majority of Americans want some societal control over when and if a woman can abort. To give women all the control is not feminist, it is anti-human and anti-male and anti-society.
Like it or not, women are part of this world, not some sort of floating angelic presence that has no effect on humanity.
If women want to have all the options and rights and take on no responsibilities in life, then I think I speak for most people when I say these sort of women have no place on this planet.
The alternative that the left keeps pushing, that women are NEVER guilty of murder, that women NEVER lie about rape, that women NEVER commit violence against men, is a FANTASY and much of the reason the left will remain a marginal force on the American stage.
You can think what you want. I am just happy that REASON and COMMON SENSE is reasserting itself in the American electorate.
and that means a McSame VICTORY in November.
privileged white women who've never had to struggle with the day-to-day issues the majority of the world's women have to deal with: poverty, education, lack of healthcare, violence and war, access to competent affordable childcare, being stuck in low-paying jobs with no benefits, easy and affordable access to reproductive healthcare choices.
Paglia and Madonna are both from poor backgrounds. As far as the issues you raise...
poverty- most women in the first and second world do not have this problem
education- everyone is forced to attend the liberal 'programming and indoctrination' facilities called the American school system, so what is your beef?
lack of healthcare- get a job
violence and war- sorry, but it is the men dying in these wars, not women
access to competent affordable childcare- Get a JOB. and just where IS the daddy??? Oh yeah, you had to choose a no account loser to plug you full of sperm, and now you want SOCIETY to pay for YOUR bad choices. (I am GLAD to see this is going away)
being stuck in low-paying jobs with no benefits- go to school, study,get a good job. DO NOT BE A TEENAGE MOM. it is YOUR fault you are stuck in this situation, not society's fault. Sorry, but someone has to break it to you- repeatedly, apparently, because you are too stupid.
easy and affordable access to reproductive healthcare- you mean, the loser who you bedded, the one who moved on and left you alone, deserves to have offspring born into the world... but the good guy, the one who is too boring to you, well, you know, you have to abort that sucker's kid since we would not want a world of GOOD PEOPLE, would we now?
"My God, our country's been completely whored out to the highest bidders." We no longer live in a democracy, she says. "We have a partnership between a powerful state and powerful corporate interests. By any other name that's fascism. It certainly isn't a democracy. Mussolini must have a grin as wide as the Yukon River, looking at what the United States has become."
Palin once supported [any still may] the Alaska secessionist movement, of which the above statement is typical.
My respect for her grows more and more.
Not only is she a strong woman, who does not seek privileges and favors at theexpense of men but stands on her own.
But she is also wise nd knowledgeable about what is really going on in this country.
I do not see the Republicans NOR the Democrats talking like these secessionists do, TELLING THE TRUTH about what is going on under Bush and before that Clinton.
I believe Democrats are scared, and for better and better reason. Democrats believe in big government socialism.
Here a woman stands who not only does NOT believe in this, but she also is a stong example of how the left has become a secular religion of whiny opportunistic but weak women.
Palin looks better and better
how THEY see feminism (?!), and to tell us what we ought to do with our bodies.
you women are CONSTANTLY telling us men what to do with OUR bodies!
"Go work to support ME and the child you never wanted but which I unilaterally chose to have!"
"Go fight this war and protect me from the enemy!!"
"Fuck me! DEEP!"
You feminists are a hypocritical JOKE. Good to finally see your hypocrisy exposed like a worm drying in the sun, thanks to the Palin selection-- the selection of a TRULY STRONG AND FEMINIST WOMAN.
Tell ya what. You liberal loser women quit telling us men what to do FIRST, then we will consider not telling you women what to do either.
