The feminists have never been about women....they are only about liberal causes - especially abortion.
Like Margaret Thatcher eh?
What this amounts to is that Feminists cannot support a conservative of either gender.
Oh Hum...like that’s news....?
Brilliant. The "logic" of liberals never ceases to amaze me.
Ah, ok, I get it — abortion.
Exactly right. On the topic of Abortion, there are essentially two choices. The “pro-choice” people have absolute disdain for one of those two choices. Palin chose Life, and so the feminists (the pro-choice people) instantly rejected her. That choice was the wrong one, apparently.
Abortion is a symptom of what the feminist cause was all about -
being able to have sex like men with the equal ability to walk away from consequences.
Instead of requiring men to be MORE civilized, feminists demanded that women be empowered to act LESS civilized.
The abortion issue has evolved, however, into keeping the guilt of killing an innocent human out of any public mention - they don’t want their consciences tweaked. It’s not about keeping it legal for future “choices”, it’s about keeping past “choices” guilt free.
Because choosing life implicitly points out that the “choice” that feminists prefer is WRONG AND EVIL.
Would this include the right of the youngest, most innocent, and most powerless of girls to not be summarily executed as an inconvenience to their mother?
Radical feminism peaked about 1970 along with the rest of the protest movements. Gov Palin’s mention of the topic brought little except Hillary!’s respect.
Well gee Marissa you must live in a cave! National Organization for Women President Endorses Palin Shelly Mandell, the president of L.A. National Organization for Women, who has endorsed the McCain/Palin ticket.
On the other hand the right to keep an bear arms is just made up nonsense, having no Constitutional basis. Period. No discussion. If you think otherwise your a bigot.
Please hand me the stupid stick again...maybe if I keep beating my head with it I might be stupid enough to be a "progressive".
Former LA NOW Chapter president Tammy Bruce also endorsed her.
Feminism, like racial equality, was not about what it claimed. It was about fomenting class warfare to create chaos, resentment and division in this country. It was the opposite of what it claimed, as are most leftist schemes.
It’s easy to be a lib....just stop thinking for yourself and buy into what the MSM is telling you.
So, let me see if I have this straight. In earlier times, a man was convinced that it was his God-given obligation to provide for our family and all I had to do was tend to the children and keep the house straight.
Now, thanks to that special, premium blend of insanity known as feminism, I still have to tend to the kids and keep the house clean, PLUS I get to schlep to work like the everyday Joes, because we all make less than the dudes used to.
Pardon me if I don’t fall all over myself to thank them.
Ummm... she reads HuffPo - enough said!
Blah. Blah. Blah.
A preachy screed blathering all around her sole point - that Palin cannot be embraced by feminists because she's not a liberal. One simple declartive sentence could have said it all, instead of this wordy excercise in banality and pretension.
If she really was concerned with winning over the author, all Palin would have to utter is "Melissa, you can abort all the rotten little babies that infest your bitter womb anytime you want."
What I learned about feminism from the last election is that feminists can only be female democrats who believe in abortion and same sex marriage. Those are the requirements. three out of the four or less automatically disqualifies.
