Hmmm. Maybe . . . I am not a feminist after all.
Maybe . . . working in a man's world for 42 years and busting my butt to beat them up the ladder deletes me from the feminist category.
Perhaps . . . struggling to be a good single mom in a very married world -- yet meeting my five-day-a-week column deadline -- doesn't earn me a feminist handle either.
Certainly . . . because I'm not appalled or sickened or shocked by Sarah Palin's stealing the thunder from Obama the orator, I am not a feminist.
Give me a break.
I'm tired of women working hard for a hammer that never breaks the glass ceiling; disgusted when Hillary Clinton, an incredibly capable, brilliant woman, lost the fight of her life; disheartened by other countries throughout the free world being led by formidable women before America is.
Only this time, it was an amazing orator named Barack Obama who was stealing our thunder . . . and I was . . . well, you know. Pissed.
And then along came Palin, a woman of the tundra who could be America's next best frontier story -- and I was pleasantly surprised.
Hell, I was delighted.
So what if she's a Republican? I tend to vote for Republican presidents.
So what if she didn't know the definition of the Bush Doctrine? Her performance was a Western draw. Bravery in tact. But no one shot.
So I asked myself -- what fault is there in admiring a woman who is against abortion -- even though I believe in freedom of choice?
What's wrong with huge respect for a woman who chose to give birth to a Down syndrome child knowing full well what was in store for her and her family?

Her first name is Michael?
Yes.
A strong woman intimidates the left.
Who knew?
That’s a first for me.
I had a female classmate named Michael. You’d never mistake her for a male, trust me.
You probably meant to respond to post #3, not mine (#7).
No harm, just want your message to get through.
This is something the Demcrats have still not grasped in the time since Palin was nominated. They just don’t have the mental tools to comprehend how far off base they are.
The Democrats had convinced themselves, that decent values wouldn’t sell. And frankly, the Republicans weren’t all that much better quite often.
Well here it is folks. There’s actual meaning here, if the two parties will only glean it for future reference.
Conservatives actually appeal to the finer qualities of people from both parties. Imagine that!
Now, if we could only get the RNC to support someone like this to run for Governor in California. Never happen!
The actress who played the mother on the tv show The Waltons was named Michael Learned. Unusual but not unheard of.
Pictures darn it... ;-)
Feminism - another stolen concept.
Sarah Palin is Wonder Tundra Woman!
TUNDRA WOMAN! LOL!!!!
Liberals need victims to gain power.
Feminist leaders are angry because Governor Palin clearly proves they are obsolete and unnecessary to women.
In order to cling to power, feminists are trying very hard to discredit Governor Palin.
They will fail.
“Her first name is Michael?”
Yes. She pens a “column” in the Chicago Sun Times. Well, it’s not a real column, but more like snippets of gossip called “Sneedlings.” She is a liberal (surprise!).
