The Money Quote:

"I can’t say that I’m a fan of Sarah Palin, but if she doesn’t embody everything that feminism ought to stand for, then what we have on our hands is a manipulative language game. She “has it all”: a college degree, a family, a high-profile career, and a history of taking on powerful, entrenched men in established institutions — and winning. The presidential race of 2008 exposed feminist ideology for the charade that it is. What a riot that Hillary Clinton, who rose to power on her cheating husband’s coattails, was hailed as a feminist hero — while Sarah Palin, a self-made woman, was spat upon!"

This is surprising from Frum.

Why do they hate her? Because she is smart, has a career, has a large family, pro-life, loving husband and she looks good doing it all.

Let me give it a try: She’s hot, has kids, is happily married, and is successful.

THE END.

BTW, I’m guessing Alex is a female, based on the Justin Beiber reference.

Because Sarah Palin defuses one of the central tenets of dialectical feminism, that gains for women have to come at the expense of men. Just like Clarence Thomas gave the lie to dialectical racism.

They hate her beccause she has all that, and got it by working for it instead of just raising a stink about being "entitled" to it.

Most of us here have always recognized that feminism was leftism in disguise. Nearly all feminists were VERY far to the left of the mainstream. Yes the feminists were and are a joke, but don't underestimate the damage they have done and will continue to do.

What kills me about most feminists is that they profess to be strong and independent. But the truth is that if you took away their Vanity Fair subscription and Bloomingdale's charge cards most of them would go insane. How many feminists could make a moose stew? No the feminists today are mostly a bunch of weaklings. There aren't many Amelia Earharts among them. They are mostly jokes.

Feminism has met its goals and just needs to go away. We are going to college and graduate school, we can own property in our own name, and we can vote. That’s about all most women wanted, and in light of that past 5,000 years, that right there is a lot. Personally, I am grateful.

Why do they hate her?

Because of the Marxism that has seeped into feminist ideology that states that there is no difference between a man and a woman, that they are equal. She exudes feminism and her husband seems to be a perfect male. They love themselves and each other.

Feminists loath the way that God designed woman, and are jealous of men. They are reminded constantly of the fact that their whole ideology is a fraud and goes against natural law whenever they see Sarah Palin, esp. with her family. Must make them all puke.

Although I don’t think Sarah is Presidential (yet?), she certainly is causing the divisions that Glen Beck speaks about. But, as he points out, the division is beginning to take the shape of God-fearing vs. anti-God.

Tammy Bruce is not a conservative. She is a lesbian who is attempting to break down the barriers between those who believe the US is principally a Judeo-Christian based nation and those who think low taxes are all that this is about. She is a liberal in disguise.

Almost all feminists are leftists (Note that some Right leaning women may declare themselves feminists, but it is of a different stripe), therefore, they are against Palin.

To 12 - Then why would Tammy Bruce fervently support Palin running for president? By your analysis of Bruce she would seek out a potential candidate who did not espouse pro-life/pro-family ideals.

Article word count: 948. Ugh.

Answer: “because she’s conservative and beautiful.”

Next, please.

Doctrinaire feminists hate Palin because she let her child live.

Openly homosexual women are not pro-family in any stretch of the imagination. Bruce is like Woody Harelson backing Joe Arpaio based on his drug enforcement policies. This is useless. Conservatives mean something more than lip service to positions...it means we back them up with lifestyles that match our words.

It's simple. In fact, it's one of Rush's "Undeniable Truths of Life":

“Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.”
