Why Does Sarah Palin Scare Feminists?

 She has shown you for the frauds that you are, for Pandora’s box has been opened and you will never be able to close it.

I can count on my hands the number of times in the last month I have heard a good word uttered in this great town of Hollywood about Sarah Palin. I have been trying to figure out what it is about her that bothers so many women here. How can a woman from a tiny town affect all the big girls from the big city like this? I have been taught the lesson that if something really bothers you about someone then there is a good chance that you see something in them that reflects what you do not like in yourself.

Why are feminists so bothered by her? Could it be that if she were to be elected, it would be the end of their movement? I mean, what would they say at their next feminist meeting: “Women aren’t getting ahead”? What they should be saying at their next meeting is: “My God, do you see the way this woman is being treated? Let’s do whatever we have to do, even though, yes, she thinks differently on certain issues, let’s defend her.” But how can they? Her very existence brings to light the waste of the life and years that they have lived on this Earth. Sarah Palin is everything they hate, because she is everything they never could be or chose not to be
What could be worse fora woman who has chosen a barren existence, in the name of a movement,than to see a woman get ahead who has already actually gotten so manygreat things out of life? If Sarah Plain gets elected it would sort ofimply that their lives have had no meaning, and would leave open thequestion: “For what have they done any of this?” Sadly, this has to behow they see it.

Instead, the detractors should be looking atthis as everything they have fought for coming to fruition. That everygirl across this great land has a role model, a woman’s woman, whodoesn’t take her orders from the man, and who is beholden to no one.These women, in this sad town that I live in, are fighting the wrongfight against the wrong party. I would say, what kind of message areyou sending to your daughters, but I guess that is the point, you don’thave any.
