On that stage last night, Sarah Palin represented everything the feminist movement claims to strive for: a successful working woman with a happy family life and a husband who helps raise the children. Yet, rather than hailing her accomplishment, the feminist establishment has sat by silently as she's savaged for being a working mother.
Turns out old feminism is really just a bunch of good 'ole girls telling you what to think.
Ladies, don't you worry your pretty little heads about deciding what you believe; the audaciously named National Organization for Women is here to speak on your behalf.
NOW put out a press release saying that Sarah Palin doesn't speak for women's rights. That's NOW's job.
Except if a conservative woman is being smeared in the media with sexist attacks and held to a completely different standard than her male counterparts. Then NOW has nothing to say about women's rights.
Time for a little truth in advertising.
Liberal women have been furiously penning identical screeds against Sarah Palin - blasting McCain for not understanding women and then announcing, "Now, let me speak on behalf of all women and tell you what women want in a candidate."
Talk about condescending.
Powers, a democrat strategiest has it exactly right - the hypocrisy of the feminist-left. I'm more convinced Powers is now a PUMA - the sexism and misogyny of the left is disgusting.
Anyone who can honestly look at things realizes how two-faced the women's movement has been in this country. Yes, feminists SHOULD be cheering that a working mother rose up through the ranks and is now on the ticket of one of the major parties. Regardless of their views, they should be applauding this. The fact that they're doing just the opposite says what a lot of us have known all along about how the left thinks: They embrace women and minorities, AS LONG AS YOU THINK LIKE THEM. Otherwise, you're dismissed as a shrill nobody or an Uncle Tom.
Look at how Anita Hill was sainted, because a woman would never lie about being sexually harassed ... unless the person being accused is a leftist icon like Saint Bubba. Then the accuser, in this case Paula Jones, is trailer trash who doesn't merit the time of day. The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven.
