Why Feminists Fear Strong Women

Because they can't discern strong from strident.

or chin from character

Heather Mallick is an American-hating crone. Palin is an American, attractive, successful, erudite and worst of all, Conservative, lady. What would there be for an embittered beldam to like about Sarah Palin?

My mother, God rest her soul, was a strong woman. She knew what she wanted in life and always did the right thing. We all know women like that and we love and admire them. You can be fulfilled by being a wife, mother and homemaker. Radical feminists have depicted the traditional sources of feminine identity as the bane of women's unhappiness and lack of choices. To the contrary, its their greatest strength and inspiration. We witness that in Sarah Palin.

Feminists want strong women. Just of the flannel wearing or limousine liberal variety.

“Weak” women are a figment of the Left, just like “weak” black people or “weak” poor people. Those folks never used to be weaklings, until the media made them think they were. “

Excellent analysis. But I’d go further: The left pushes the weakling agenda for votes. It’s the only way they can get elected and why they love diametrically opposite groups like Muslims and feminists.

"feminists"

The femi-nazis who oozed up in the sixties were virtually all arch-leftists and well as man haters. All leftists desire to make victims out of their designated support groups with the exception of course of adult white males. Everybody in America to these leftist harpies is a victim of the white, adult male. And this narrative is NEVER!!! supposed to change.

No matter how much power and money (Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire) women have, they are always and forever to be victims. Until the revolution which fortunately hasn't happened yet. Sarah Palin throws a monkey wrench in their narrative of the woman as eternal victim. That's why she must be destroyed.

Camille Paglia's essay is very good.

Camille Paglia reveals the true death-eater mentality in exactly so many words. It's not surprising that such stunning honesty isn't getting much play from the obscurantist media.

Wow, I wonder how many states have eight living governors/ex-governors? Maybe Alaskans are naturally selected for longevity.

Hence my tagline. I love turning their little snide saying back on them.

The feminists are the same as the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton crowd - they only want strength at the expense of someone else. For them, rising up means crushing or extorting someone else.

Palin is an example of the real meaning of strength - rising up on your own and lifting others with you.

“So why do Leftist feminists fear Sarah Palin?”

Because she doesn’t need them.

Sarah special - the left's psychotic reaction

The Charismatic Sarah Palin, a Powerful New Feminist: Fresh blood for the vampire Camille Paglia essay's thread, the essay is a MUST READ!

Obama Can't Win Against Palin (Karl Rove)

The Swift-Skirting of Sarah Palin It's a poor title for so many lies about Sarah.
