"I'm a feminist," Palin said (yeah right...and I'm the pope, kpete)
"I'm a feminist," Palin said, "who...believes in equal rights and I believe that women certainly today have every opportunity that a man has to succeed, and to try to do it all, anyway. And I'm very, very thankful that I've been brought up in a family where gender hasn't been an issue."

9. A feminist who wants women to be brood mares?
Interesting POV.
You know, republicans just make me sick. They were instrumental in demonizing the word feminist, until your average woman had no clue what one was, just knew that she didn't want the label. Now that it's convenient, the most anti-woman nonsense gets called "feminism" and the most opportunistic women call themselves out feminist out of political expediency. Never mind that feminism is for equal pay and equal rights, is pro-gay rights, pro-choice, anti racist and fights poverty, disease and oppression of women around the world.

I know feminists, Bible Spice, and you're .... oh you know.

By the way Puddiums, making rape victims purchase forensic kits is not, ya know, like, a radical feminist stand.

16. What kind of feminist protects rapists?
A feminist who made rape victims pay for their own investigative kits? Or one who belongs to a religion where the woman has to kiss her husband's ass, literally and figuratively, while he beats the shit out of her in front of the kids?
