Put Lipstick on a Feminist and She’s Still a Prig

I think you foobar’d the link.

Finally, at the end of the week, when faculty in my department began to criticize the Provost via emails sent on the department email list, an interesting pattern emerged. First, one male professor sent an email criticizing the Provost. Then a second male professor joined in followed by a third, fourth, and fifth male professor. At the end of the day, five male professors exercised their First Amendment right to free speech.

Then I guess the male members of the faculty can't think for themselves either.

there has been no credible feminist movement since they all sided with bill clinton over his victims. this isn’t about women’s rights, it’s about political power and influence.

they hate palin because she doesn’t conform to the expectations of the feminist society. which means that the very same feminists who railed against the expectations of society on women, are enforcing their own expectations upon one of their own.

the fact that palin thrives despite these shrill harpies show more about palin’s class than that of the feminists.

The other way “feminists” will strike back at assertive males is by filing bogus sexual harassment claims.

If a female claims sexual harassment by any male in a large, bureaucratic organization he is automatically guilty until proven innocent. The ninnies in the HR department will get their panties in a wad persecuting the male no matter how fatuous the claim against him.

But I never could have expected the cumulative hostility feminists have already shown towards Palin.

Guess he wasn't paying attention when Bill Clinton was impeached for the crimes he committed in the Paula Jones case.

I'm not sure if it was the same program, but Bill O’Reilly made the comment that he thought the reason there are some many feminists who agreed with Roe vs Wade was simply because many of them probably have had abortions. For feminists to now say abortions are wrong would be tantamount to admitting what they've done was wrong and they, in fact, have taken a human life. That would be a pretty grave assertion; one they don't wish to admit publically or privately. I thought that was an interesting perspective and, while certainly not applying to all, is probably applicable to many.

She is a living, breathing rebuke to the cowardly little hypocrites.

you betcha - she got where she is by her own grit and determination (plus a lot of support from hubby). in the feminist model, no woman can get anywhere without their help, adn therefore all women onf substance (I won’t say power) should be beholden to the feminists, and take marching orders from them.

that palin hasn’t, doesn’t and most likely won’t are very big points in her favor.

I think Medved hit on another important component of PDS the other day: women see Palin as that girl in high school, the homecoming queen who is smart and nice and got her man. And they love to hate her.

Almost as much as they hate men.

[Reaganesque]

She (Palin) has courage that inspires individualism. And, clearly, she lacks the cowardice that is a pre-requisite for radical feminism

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark! Most things that are dead-on accurate do.

Individualism vs. collectivism: That's what this election is all about.

I disagree that this hostility is all about abortion. I think it also has a lot to do with Palin’s personality – specifically with her personal courage and ability to think and act independently.

It most certainly is about abortion. The personal courage and ability to think independently about abortion is what they hate in her. They hate anyone who isn't lock-step with them on their liberal sacrament, but a woman -- a politically successful woman -- why, that's heresy.

[Graybeard58]

I thought that was an interesting perspective and, while certainly not applying to all, is probably applicable to many.

With the millions of abortions already performed, it is an absolute certainty.

If I killed someone and after all that is what abortion is, I would defend my actions any way I could.

What is the difference between a feminist and a pig?

You CAN put lipstick on a pig.

Changed my view of the political world 180 degrees.
