What makes me sick. The people who are trying to destroy Sarah are same people who were burning their bras and marching through the street for womens rights 40 years ago. The same people who claim to be “pro choice”. Evidently they are only pro choice for the people who make the choices they like. If they were genuine feminists, they would be proud of Sarah. Here is a newsflash, they are not genuine. They are being exposed for the miserable frauds that they really are. The American people are watching them collapse. It is like they are saying Sarah is not a real woman because she used her vagina for reproduction. It is twisted. They are the ones who are judgemental. If she would have had a couple of abortions or a lesbian affair, they would love her.

NOW is irrelevant. They have made a reputation for themselves as talkers NOT doers like Sarah.

e.g. 1. Did not stand up to Bubba Clinton regarding very young Monica.
2. Do not give a damm about how many single moms are fairing in America. 3. Have yet to see them condemm Islamic men for the unfair treatment of women.

Other women see this. These same women haven't had a voice or power until now. There's hope through Sarah Palin.

"It is twisted."

It IS a mental disorder. They project their own racist and sexist values, while claiming to be champions against them.

To me and many other women they’re just bloviators.

I’d say the face of conservatism. Still plenty of GOP beasts to slay ahead.

I say that because they are energized within college campus politics. They spoon-feed the young.

The abortion issue is the crux of it. They could manage to tolerate anything else about her, but not her stance on that one. They’re all afraid she’ll “overturn Roe v. Wade”.

Feminism, like environmentalism, is just another false front for leftist totalitarian politics. Justice, equality, diversity and all the rest of the movement’s hollow rhetoric are tools used to delude the masses into supporting a system that ultimately puts the boot of communism on everyone’s throat. The only ‘true believers’ are dupes and useful idiots.

Your list is quite good -- I need to add to it:

6. Demand that BUSINESSES and GOVERNMENT pay for DAY CARE for the children while female exercises her right to work.

I've done plenty of brawling over the years with feminists over this issue.

From article: That she also insists on having the rewarding career that feminists wish they had themselves is just too much. It's driving her feminist opponents around the bend -- they now find themselves criticizing her for neglecting her children, which is more than a little rich coming from people who never tire of reminding mothers that staying at home to look after their children is a cardinal sin.

Which is additionally -- a little "rich" coming from feminists who assert that government/business run day care is just as good as mummy can provide, and that in order for said female to have a job, private corporations and the government MUST force taxpayers to pay for her children's day care.

North American feminists should be working to extend the fundamental freedoms they enjoy to parts of the globe where such freedoms are absent. But instead, they pitch a package of partisan political beliefs at home.
***These idiot feminists had a huge opportunity sitting right in front of them for years, but their partisanship prevented them from moving forward with it.

The same feminists who keep saying we must have more women in politics suddenly changed their minds. We need more women--just not that kind of woman.

Liberal woman jealous of the skirt alert.

Great line: ‘North American feminists should be working to extend the fundamental freedoms they enjoy to parts of the globe where such freedoms are absent...instead, they pitch a package of partisan political beliefs at home. Their palette is left-wing and non-negotiable...’
