    true feminism

    rush limbaugh defines feminists as mean faced ugly women who can`t get dates. Sarah Palin does`nt fit that mold,She is beautiful and inteligent,dominent,succesful, with a good husband and raising a family plus carreer. perhaps that is why some insecure women are terrified! They are scared of a true feminist!
