Gov. Palin, leave your friggin' sexism at home
Edited on Sat Oct-04-08 12:30 PM by Bubbha Jo
From time in the Army during the integration of the Woman's Army Corps (WAC) into the regular Army rolls to the days of struggling to survive financially as a single parent with the inequality of pay between the genders, I have lived with the result of those who use sex in the work place to get ahead or to hold some back. It's unfair, it's drama, it's counterproductive, it's dangerous, and it keeps We the Female People from getting equal pay another day every time you play that act!

You are no maverick. You and your winks are an American disgrace. Keep your sex at home with your hubby and family. That's the only damn place it belongs.

I'm not surprised that the McCrud campaign would stoop so low, but I am nonetheless angry. To sexualize any job is disgraceful, demeaning, and throws road blocks up for all woman. It pisses me off big time.

To add to all of that, the sexualization of the Vice Presidency also compromises us on a very dangerous world stage. It doesn't just piss me off, it scares me!

4. it is a in your face effort by repugs. degradation of women is top on fox news
every story they can put on that has a woman in a degrading situation, they put on for their woman oppressing male. they have become a soft porn station with total disrespect to women. look at all the female newscasters they use and how they use them and the women willing submit to subservient role.

now they give us palin.
