You may be right at that!
I think that in a pop culture where women can get away with murder, literally, figures like Palin are a God-sent blessing. Example: HW Bush silenced by pinhead Katie Couric, who scolded him condescendingly on her show once for his involvement or support, I don't remember which, of tobacco farming. A World War II veteran! And her, a brat young enough to be his daughter! I like to think I'd have yanked her off that set poste haste if I'd been on the scene, and slapped her silly.
Bush was a gentleman, he could not swat down the miserable gnat Couric because she was female. Had she tried such a trick with Thatcher, or Palin in a live forum, she'd have been sliced to ribbons. Girls fight dirty. Hillary would do the same thing, take advantage of a gentleman's honor. My dream 2016 ticket would be Palin vs Hillary. It would be hilarious.
My version of "women's issues" is this: I once interviewed for a write-up a woman architect who had made it to the top of the hierarchy in her field, long before woman architects were much seen in the industry. I had been instructed to ask her by my editor (the question wouldn't have occurred to me) about her involvement in women's business and women's architect groups, which ones, etc. Her answer: she didn't belong to any women's professional organizations. She belonged to architectural organizations. The only important thing was: are you a professional?
I could have hugged her.
Good for the architect! She didn’t fall for the B.S. That’s the way it should be everywhere but that would defeat the rats who survive by pitting us against each other.
They’re so disgusting.
