Honestly, she amuses me. The way she tries to seem political! just gives me the giggles. Like, a couple years ago, she's the head of the PTA and now she's the governor of Alaska. And Alaska? Aren't they trying to secede? And the hypocrisy also gives me the shiz and giggles.
Like let's say Obama had a teenage daughter who was seventeen just like Palin's. Wouldn't the Republicans and some Americans play into the stereotypical black teenage girl gets pregnant factor? But since they're white and conservative, it's okay? Seriously, race plays a role whether we'd like to admit or not. As far back as the Creoles and Spanish social system, color has played a huge role in everything.
Whites do actually get treated better in time of scandal. Especially in politics. What if Governor Eliot Spitzer was black? Would his prostitution scandal be looked at differently?
But back to Palin, I don't want to hold her directly responsible for her daughter having unprotected sex or maybe the condom broke or she forgot to take her pill, I don't know but I don't think the blame should be fixated on Palin.
Teenagers are going to have sex whether society wants them to or not. The media isn't to blame, it's biology. Our bodies want it and hell, I'm not depriving my body.
Maybe if birth control other than condoms was readily available, teen pregnancy wouldn't be skyrocketing. Because whether we like to admit it, condoms suck. The male bitches about them, the female feels bad or you worry about them breaking, etc.
And teaching abstinence isn't going to help. My mother taught me to abstain from sex until I was seventeen and I didn't listen. And it wasn't because my boyfriend pressured me. My body said "Laurel, you love him. You trust him. You have protection. Fuck him." And I did. And you know what? Aside from the first time, it's been great ever since.
Whoa, I really strayed from Palin but whatever it's my blog.
teenagers,
writer's block,
rants!,
