Somehow , being normal, being a typical human being is a bad thing in the eyes of modern radical feminists. Fairness in the workplace is a genuine issue and at one time "feminists" who focused on that had a valid argument, but that issue is now used by radicals as a cover issue for the deeper vicious hatered of anyone who is not a social anarchist. Sarah Palin is not a feminist in this modern radical sense. She's not angry about the fact that she had to work hard to succeed, and not angry at men for being who they are. If men get in her face and try to stop her she gives them hell and defeats them , without needing to be a hate filled feminist to do so. She is a normal hard working woman who loves life and appreciates her family. Feminist groups today, such as NOW, are basically angry, hateful liberals. They see themselves as victims of society and the male gender. Sarah has shown that she doesn't play that game. She doesn't allow herself or her family to be anyone's vicitims. Here is an excerpt from the statement released by NOW chairwoman Kim Gandy on the selection of Sarah Palin; "Gov. Palin may be the second woman vice-presidential candidate on a major party ticket, but she is not the right woman. Sadly, she is a woman who opposes women's rights, just like John McCain." ...., A ridiculous statement in itself, but then..., we get to see the real problem that NOW has with Sarah is via the following exceprt... " In a gubernatorial debate, Palin stated emphatically that her opposition to abortion was so great, so total, that even if her teenage daughter was impregnated by a rapist, she would "choose life" -- meaning apparently that she would not permit her daughter to have an abortion.", ah ha...! So if you are pro-life... you are anti-woman. Pure insanity. That's the primary radical view that the NOW groupies cling to in thier hatred of Sarah. What else did the NOW chairwoman say? Only one other example came up in her press release..."Palin also had to withdraw her appointment of a top public safety commissioner who had been reprimanded for sexual harassment, although Palin had been warned about his background through letters by the sexual harassment complainant."..., and that's it. Sarah dropped an appointment she made because she didn't cleanly vet him. But when she found genuine evidence of the harassment claim being real she dropped him. ( by the way, the harassement claim, that he hugged and kissed a female employee, was made against him in 2005 over two years ago and resulted in a reprimand . He was not fired or sued over it. He maintains it was not sexual harassment.) Wow. How devastating ( not). This is a pathetic, weak, and basically contrived reason for the radical feminsits to dispense with Sarah Palin. This is why NOW is viewed by many as a crackpot band of radical extremists firmly in the pocket of the Democrat Party.
