“But I have no respect for gender identity politics...”
It would be nice is candidates, both male and female, were treated the same. I guess they do in a “perfect world” and we are far from perfect. As long as women are slammed for being too pretty, or too plain, too thin, too fat and then their parenting skills are questioned (remember when Sarah Palin was slammed by the media for wanting to be VP and that would hurt her children?)... then gender identity politics needs to be discussed. IMHO
You bring up another thing almost as bad as gender politics...the politics of “victimhood.”
I.e., poor women, just can’t get a break in the “good old boy” world.
Please. It’s a load of crap. Oprah should complain.
But, that's the point. It was the media -- not the electorate. Gender identity politics is as disgusting as racial identity politics. It's the media that we must discuss.
And I hate the "mama grizzly" crap, too (yesterday it was "fight like a girl"). There's a thin line between encouraging (will.not.say.empowering) women and belittling men. Sarah's not a man-basher like liberal feminists, but she should leave her battle-of-the-sexes baloney behind.
