Feminists Expose Themselves...

No matter which way you look at it there are double standards all over the place with this. While I don't consider myself to be a full on feminist I do consider myself to be for female rights and that just happens to include a woman's right to choose an abortion if that is what she wants or needs. Now I don't think that necessarily makes me pro-abortion as I don't like them, don't think they should be used as birth control, and wouldn't have one myself unless my life were on the line. But I do think there is a double standard with many republicans. If Palin were on the other side of the fence being picked for VP for the dem side should would be being ripped apart by many of the conservatives that are sitting here right now telling everyone they are all for her. Conservatives to me are the ones that tend to stand for the moms being at home with the kids while the dads go out to work. And especially with her having a special needs child I think a lot of conservatives would be bashing her like crazy for going for the VP role. But since she is on their side all we hear is "Oh leave her family life out of this". Well if I'm not mistaken when she was announced as McCains running mate her family life and the fact that she had a special needs baby was almost used as a selling point. And now that it's being used against her conservatives are backing up saying we need to leave her family out of it. Sorry but you can't have it both ways.

I have always had a hard time subscribing to feminism for this reason! There may have been a time when women needed to act one way versus another, take one for the team to push the movement forward. But that's over! Women have won the right to think and act however they see fit, and now feminists jump on women for their ideals??

The ugliness of the feminist's agenda is something to behold. At one time they were so popular and got lots of attention. They had an agenda and they did not care in the least of how many women, families and babies they destroyed in the process. That is so typical of the liberal (think Obama) movement. They say convincingly that they are fighting for your best interest, but when you think differently than they do, they throw you under the bus. No matter what your political persuasion, I think any woman can see how Sarah Palin is a great role model for the young ladies growing up today. On the other hand, if you are a washed out libber from the past like Gloria Steinem, then you will never get it. http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-oe-steinem4-2008sep04,0,1290251.story djbtol

Where do I have to go to see the "Feminists exposing themselves"?

I love when the truth about liberal feminists rears its ugly head. Have you realized that it's been women, not men on these forums saying she should stay home and raise her kids instead of running for office? In fact, I can't name a single man on these forums who's said that. Now obviously not all the liberal women here are saying such things, but certainly a very vocal group of them. Nobody seems to mind that Nanci Pelosi has 5 children and she's been in office since around the time the first one was born.

I grew up in the 50' and 60's, I was part of the Burn Your Bra Era. I have always been proud of the fact that women in my age group had freedoms that our Mothers and GrandMothers could only dream about. Equal pay, (for the most part), job and educational opportunities. I have never been proud of the fact that feminist made aborting our future their number one fight. I drew the line there and always will. I am ashamed of my sisters for turning on the best hope this country has ever had to have a female in the highest office in the land. Instead of them worrying about killing their babies, they should be getting behind Sarah Palin and demanding she be in the White House. Lets face it, McCain will not run for a second term, in my opinion, so she would be a shoe in for the next Republican Presidential candidate. What are these women thinking? I think when they burned their bras, they burned their brains. Blessings Marilyn
