Because they can't discern strong from strident.
or chin from character
The femi-nazis who oozed up in the sixties were virtually all arch-leftists and well as man haters. All leftists desire to make victims out of their designated support groups with the exception of course of adult white males. Everybody in America to these leftist harpies is a victim of the white, adult male. And this narrative is NEVER!!! supposed to change.
No matter how much power and money (Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire) women have, they are always and forever to be victims. Until the revolution which fortunately hasn't happened yet. Sarah Palin throws a monkey wrench in their narrative of the woman as eternal victim. That's why she must be destroyed.
East Hampton is filled with strident women in the summer, but they are FAR from strong. Were it not for their hedge fund managing husbands working 80 hours a week, they would be crying at the nail salon in hopelessness.
