Normally, I would write this post as a letter to the person I think is a complete idiot, but I've decided to toss the conceit today because I don't want to be on good terms with Elaine Lafferty. Lafferty, the former editor of Ms. who left under shady circumstances in 2005 that no one wants to discuss, sat on the stage with other feminists and former Clinton supporters — like Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild — at a Palin rally last week and, despite boos from her new political compatriots every time Clinton was mentioned, continues to support the Republican ticket. In fact, in a Daily Beast column yesterday, she outed herself as a full-fledged Palin adviser and has some "wisdom" to lay on us feminists. And by wisdom, I mean a load of the most uninformed horseshit I've read this week, at least, and I read the National Review.... Basically, as far as Lafferty is concerned, there is one and only one reason to support Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is a woman. She might be a woman who would roll back reproductive choice, deny women redress for unequal pay, stand by while her running mate dismantles Title IX (not that Lafferty knows anything about Title IX), provide women with worse options than her opponent on taxes and health care and, hell, while she's at it, get rid of those pesky VAWA provisions of Joe Biden's that force states to cover the cost of your rape kits because your nifty new insurance provider (assuming you have one, since your employer won't be providing it anymore) can just pay for that, but she is a woman. And since we share the same genitals and reproductive organs and — and since, like Geraldine Ferraro before her, she thinks that it's "speaking the truth" that Obama only got to be the nominee because of his race — there's apparently only one choice in this race. And that choice, despite the fact that she stands against everything feminism has ever stood for except for electing women to office, is Sarah Palin.jezebel.com ================== Republikan TAX and STEALERS believe women are stupid.
