Is it because Sarah Palin doesn't believe in working women? She is. Is it because she has never had to challenge the boys club of business and politics? She has. Is it because she thinks that women should stay at home barefoot and pregnant? She hasn't. Is it because she thinks women are not as smart as men? She is. Is it because she believes women should be paid less than men? She doesn't. Is it because she believes women are weaker than men? She isn't. Is it because she doesn't know what women go through every day? She does.
Is it because Sarah Palin likes guns? I am not sure what her views are on this subject, but is it an extreme position that believes it is a legitimate point of view that owning a gun is a right guaranteed in the Constitution in order to protect themselves? Most people that I know who own a gun are very tough on people that commit crimes using a gun. Is that an extremist position?
Feminism has been masqueraded to the American people as fighting for equality of all women, creating a trojan horse argument that women are being held back at the hands of men (who control society.)
But none of the classic feminism lines apply to Sarah Palin. This is why the feminists are so scared. Sarah Palin has just exposed the feminist agenda as a single issue fringe group.
Sarah Palin is described as a person that believes life begins at conception. This is the position of most church going people and is the position of the largest church in the world, the Catholic Church. Does that mean all of these people are extremists?
The main objective of feminists is abortion (Palin supports birth control) and the sexual proclivities for which they aspire . Feminists believe having children holds women back and this is the reason abortion rights are so important.
Sarah Palin's selection as Vice Presidential candidate effectively ends the feminist movement. It turns out a woman can have children, still hold on to traditional values of faith, family and God, and advance their career at the same time.
Feminists are secondarily concerned about any religion because it promotes a society encouraging traditional values of monogamy, fidelity, and marriage between a man and a woman. True feminists consider open, promiscuous sexual expression more important than encouraging women to settle for a long term, healthy sexual relationship within in a loving, marital environment.
Sarah Palin represents the passing of the torch from the Sixties generation who believed in free love, rebellion against organized religion, and the role of women who were controlled by men to a more traditional woman who has accomplished everything they claimed was not possible and everything for which they have been fighting, all while raising a family within the confines of traditional values and organized religion.
For whatever reason Senator John McCain chose Sarah Palin, the result was a radical change in the discourse in this country--to the detriment of feminism.
Way to go.
