Another Person In My Skin
Laura Ingraham, and I have no idea who she is, took over hosting for Bill O'Reilly last week, when Mr. O'Reilly was apparently not at work, because he had people to annoy or something. So she spent part of her hostessing duties talking about why it is that feminists hate Sarah Palin. www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/11/04/feminists-hate-sarah-palin-because-she-lost-her-baby-weight/
Now, I am a feminist. Guess what? I don't hate Sarah Palin. I don't admire her either, but I don't hate her. I dislike her politics. Oh do I dislike that. But hatred? Why bother? I have more hatred for those fucking assholes in Saabs who cut me off in traffic.
Let's examine the reasons I supposedly hate Sarah Palin.
1. I am a childess spinster. Therefore, I must hate Sarah Palin, who is married with children. Working along this theory, I should hate my mom as well.
2. I hate her because she has a cute husband. Never mind that I don't think the man is particularly bright, which, to me, negates any physical attractiveness one might have. Nope, she's married to a cute man, thus, I hate her.
3. I hate her because she lost her baby weight. Yes. Feminists everywhere detest Sarah Palin because we're a bunch of fatties and we're jealous because she took off her baby weight. Okay, I realize that it's sacreligious to not be on a diet when I'm fat, but I'm not. Nor do I give a shit about other women's weight.
4. I hate her because I'm a woman. Um. So, I must loathe myself? Where is the logic in this?
5. I hate her because she's pro-life. No. I dislike that she thinks I should be pro-life, but her stance on abortion is her choice.
6. I hate her because she's against everything I stand for. Again, I dislike her politics, but I don't hate her. I dislike her politics. Hello? Can we see the difference? No. We can't.
Why do I expect anything different from someone who is subbing for Bill Frakkin O'Reilly? I shouldn't. But these were just too good not to share.
