What is happening to Carrie Prejean has offended me as well. I didn’t think her comments were at all offensive. She is entitled to her own opinion. And to get eviscerated for it. This last election season has been a real nightmare. Hillary, Sarah, and the beat goes on and on…

Thanks, Cynthia.

you are a better writer than 99% of the so called feminist authors writing about real issues out there.

Prejean was WAY more generous than what Barky said about gay marriage while campaigning, and she probably thought it was a completely innocuous, correctly worded answer. It would have been had she had a schlong.

And the whole world shit on her for it, and so her position hardened in self-defense.

It’s all completely disgusting. There’s no WAY that what happened to her would have been half as vicious if she hadn’t been a woman, and a pretty one to boot — because if television is any indicator, there’s nothing the world likes more than seeing some hot bitch get what’s coming. (If you think men like attractive women, you must live on a planet that isn’t this one.)

*steam comes out my ears*

Sorry, I need to go get dinner and get away from this topic.

Currently my pet peeve is Carrie Perjean. True, she said some things that offended people. For that she lost her crown, she’s been drug thru court, she’s been sued. Now we’re using her breast surgery and a sex tape to farther humiliate and shame her. You know, we don’t even do that to convicted pedophiles. Seriously, a serial rapist is given more respect. You could murder people in this country and we would never sexually mock and ridicule you. We have laws against cruel and unusual punishment. We don’t shame and humiliate our worst criminals, but we have no problem doing it to women.

On that I 100% agree with you and if I missed that point I apologize. ABSOLUTELY Nancy Pelosi should stand on her actions alone and no comment regarding her looks, her womanhood, etc., etc., is acceptable on any level.

I can stand with her and defend her against sexism while holding her responsible for her horrible behavior all day long. And I will. I will defend her against sexism as loudly as I chastise her and I agree that the former is more important. for many reasons.

It’s like saying that you need to know who the rape victim is before you can say whether the rape was wrong. You need to take MORE pleasure in slapping down sexism than you find in watching a deserving bitch get hers. That’s what it amounts to, or else sexism stays around.

Like Obama, winning by cheating or winning by lying or winning by backstabbing is not a win it is a steal and as such it does not deserve respect or support especially when combined with the fact that Ms. Pelosi will go down in history as the worst speaker of the worst house in the history of this country (if we even have a history). Nancy Pelosi made promises and then BROKE THEM and made sure that Hillary Rodham Clinton would have her win stolen from her and us. To support her in the name of feminism or anything is just wrong.

For feminism to mean something and affect change such that the power paradigm is shifted, even slightly, must mean that women take the high road. If I wanted a man to do her job I would have supported a man. Little did I know that her gender is just a slight of hand, she is just the same old politician except worse. way worse. because she is one of us.

You can win, do the right thing, and walk tall. Hillary did it. And don’t you suckers ever forget it.

Nancy Pelosi is a horrible person. She is a liar and a cheater. Furthermore I sincerely believe that she has violated my constitutional rights (as well as those of other Americans) and that she is lacking even a modicum of moral decency such that I cannot think of one single redeeming feature about this woman. On a hate scale she is up there with the worst of them–men and women so heinous that they force you to hate them. The fact that she is a woman and a Democrat makes it even worse. But it does not give her a FREE PASS. In fact, I hold her in greater contempt.

I can trash the hell out of Nancy Pelosi, and I should trash the hell out of Nancy Pelosi, because she is a contemptible un-American evil piece of human filth. It does not make me sexist it makes me honest.

Sarah Palin has her admirers and her non-admirers, but the treatment she has received since being selected by John McCain as his running mate is nothing less than verbal rape by most of America. The lies and untruth told about her, the inordinate scrutiny of every part of her body, the repulsive assault on her family and children, and the failure of most women’s organizations to say boo was sexism. Rapid, out of control, sexism. Not talking about this makes me a sexist.

The only thing in common Sarah and Nancy have is gender, and neither should be able to hide behind it. Being a feminist and supporting women cannot mean defending Nancy if you defend Sarah; in fact, being a feminist and supporting women MUST mean defending Sarah after eviscerating (of course figuratively) Nancy.
