Palin: Wrong Woman, Wrong Message
Los Angeles Times ^ | 09/04/08 | Gloria Steinem

Posted on 09/04/2008 9:30:07 AM PDT by abigail2

Here's the good news: Women have become so politically powerful that even the anti-feminist right wing -- the folks with a headlock on the Republican Party -- are trying to appease the gender gap with a first-ever female vice president. We owe this to women -- and to many men too -- who have picketed, gone on hunger strikes or confronted violence at the polls so women can vote. We owe it to Shirley Chisholm, who first took the "white-male-only" sign off the White House, and to Hillary Rodham Clinton, who hung in there through ridicule and misogyny to win 18 million votes. But here is even better news: It won't work. This isn't the first time a boss has picked an unqualified woman just because she agrees with him and opposes everything most other women want and need. Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere. It's not about a piece of the existing pie; there are too many of us for that. It's about baking a new pie.

I knew they wouldn't get it...It's not about feminism. It's character, not sex or color!!

Nice try Gloria, you old scag! For the vast majority of American women raising kids and working in and out of the home, the only reason to not like Sarah Palin is that they have not seen her yet.

S2BU!

Now there is a combination for you - Gloria Steinem and the LA Times. Two bigger losers would be hard to find. Patiently waiting for the LAT to go belly up.

Gloria`s angry hate filled left-wing screeds are as old and worn out as her ovaries that dried up and feel out 30 years ago.

But hey, ask me what I really think :-)

She has no interest in helping women take a larger role in society. She’s only interested in killing babies. Hag.

Hillary used her husband’s popularity to get her senate seat, and rise to power. She does not have the charm or appeal to win on her own.

Nothing sexist in that remark....

Once again my point is proved...there is no one more racist or sexist than the race and sex hustlers. Of course in the end, to them it's all really only about pushing marxism.

Gloria Steinem knows what feminism is! ROFL!
