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.

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.

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.

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.

Article word count: 948. Ugh.

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

Next, please.

Doctrinaire feminists hate Palin because she let her child live.

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.”

Is David Frum begging for a seat at the table from conservatives by writing something almost positive about her?

A little late for that David.

They only like their own kind:

ugly witches with 40 cats who live alone underground and eat babies.

She’s disenfranchising another device the left has used for decades to bilk legitimate institutions and businesses - gender inequality.

Can’t get what you want, you can tie somebody up in court using sex or gender to force the issue.

Palin’s very existence shuts that whole ruse down. And the very WORST thing about Palin - she’s a Christian.

On top of the success, the family, the raising a special needs kid, the ethics, the guts, the being female - it’s the being Christian too. Beyond that, she appears to be happy, and happily married.

She’s also hotter and smarter than the entire feminist movement, and married to a stud. How do you argue with any of it if you’re a Gloria Steinam feminist?

Oprah’s potemkin village of success is starting to wear pretty thing. Only so many boats you can ski behind. At the end of the day, you’re either happy or you aren’t, and you can’t buy that. Oprah doesn’t look all that happy.

They hate her because of guilty rage and contempt

She kept the retarded baby and loves and cuddles him and in public no less. “Feminists” find that life choice, and the baby’s very appearance- repugnant and are ashamed to admit it

Why Do Feminists Hate Palin?

Cause she looks like this:

And they look like this?
