SARAH PALIN IS NOT A FEMINIST!

You simply can't be a feminist if you don't support a woman's individual rights. Announcing a "new conservative feminist movement" without acknowledging the individual freedoms of women won't cut it. This feministic facade that actually takes aim at women's rights should be seen for what it is.

Anything less than supporting women's full individual rights simply renders you a pretender, a fake, a feminist fraud.

From Emily's List president Stephanie Schriock in response to Mrs. Palin:

[quote]"Sarah Palin talks a good game about 'grizzly bear moms' taking the country back - but I come from the West too, and her version of what American women want doesn't honor the freedom and independence that the women I grew up with in Montana cherish," said Stephanie Schriock, President of EMILY's List. Referring to the "Palin 4" - four Democratic Congresswomen whom Palin displayed on her Facebook page - Schriock continued: "First she puts targets on their back, then she wants the government in their bedrooms - what is Sarah Palin doing to western women?" "Palin doesn't seem to trust American women to make their own decisions - though she speaks movingly about her own. I believe all American women are entitled to the freedom and independence I grew up with, and that EMILY's List endorsed candidates continue to fight for in states across this country." - SCHRIOCK TO PALIN: YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR MY FRONTIER[/quote]

I remember when she was running I actually had a few women ask me why I won't vote for her considering she's a woman... like somehow this automatically gives her my vote because I'm a woman I should support any random woman that runs? Yeah right. Of course, these "feminist" women voted for her because she was a woman and they showed her their solidarity? Geezus, sometimes I feel like I'm from Mars and everyone else is from Venus.

Haha, you actually made me laugh out loud APL.

Are you sure you aren't living in my neighborhood lefty? That is what my neighbor said to me.

Good one APL. I see you still have that wonderful sense of humor!

HA!

During the 2008 campaign, I volunteered at our Democratic headquarters to help get out the vote. A lot of women were among the volunteers, and of course the talk turned to Sarah Palin. I remember someone saying that just because Sarah Palin had a vagina, and a well-used one at that, it didn't mean she was qualified to hold any political office.
