The only surprise here is to see it turned so publicly against a decent, popular woman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-39293081976953823062008-10-13T13:02:00.000-04:002008-10-13T13:02:00.000-04:00Palin appeals to those who believe that tradition ...Palin appeals to those who believe that tradition is the expression of innate "common sense" values. If, on the other hand, you believe that traditions are forms of ritualized behaviors that are constructed by specific time periods and cultures as an expression of changing values, Palin is less appealing. Palin seems to validate the notion that "real women" can do it all without complaining. She calls herself a feminist, but she also seems to think that obstacles to women's rights in the form of institutionalized sexism no longer exist on any significant level. For those who believe that gender "isn't an issue anymore," Palin seems a living example of the archetypal ideal woman our society has been constructing for centuries and is therefore perceived by the keepers of the status quo as comforting. She is only threatening to those who believe there is still inequality and want to change that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-73690704687999457922008-10-12T04:40:00.000-04:002008-10-12T04:40:00.000-04:00"A common theme of feminism since I was in college...<I>"A common theme of feminism since I was in college is that men are afraid of women’s sexuality."</I><BR/><BR/>Ignored by feminists is that feminist <I>women</I> are also afraid of women's sexuality, thus the drive by feminists to denigrate it by confining it to the purpose of "cheap thrills" as Insignificon noted.Micha Elyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13342792492539185940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-7941568109927877322008-10-11T03:14:00.000-04:002008-10-11T03:14:00.000-04:00insignificon seems to have nailed The Left's appro...insignificon seems to have nailed The Left's approach to Sarah.<BR/><BR/>There's more hostile fire directed by The Left at her than at McClain, because The Left knows that Palin is more of a threat to their electoral success than is McClain.John J.

She uses sex for its intended purpose (making babies, keeping a marriage happy), rather than for cheap thrills, and it drives them nuts. I'm sure she's not perfect, but she is the image of a chaste woman. They want to see her sexuality dragged through the same meaningless slime-pits they've put their own sexuality through in the name of "feminism", but sick fantasy is all they have to throw at her and the traditional lifestyle she represents. She makes them feel dirty because, frankly, they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
