Palin 'Extremely Negative' on 'Women's Issues,' Feminist Leader Says Wednesday, September 17, 2008 By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer

Washington (CNSNews.com) – Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin does not stand for women and women’s rights, said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation, at a press conference Tuesday.

That’s largely why the foundation opposes the McCain-Palin ticket, said Smeal, and supports the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

“One thing I’ll say about role models is that women have true equality when conservative women, liberal women, progressive women, and women from all stripes have a chance at the top,” Smeal said.

Who appointed her to decide what all women should believe?

“One thing I’ll say about role models is that women have true equality when conservative women, liberal women, progressive women, and women from all stripes have a chance at the top,” Smeal said. ....."So long as they agree with ME", she went on to add.

Whatta hypocrite...Palin is accomplishing exactly what all of these harpies dreamed of, and they can't stand it. I sometimes wonder if these fools even listen to what they're saying.

Feminism isn’t about women; it’s about killing unborn babies. Period. The RAT ticket supports this; the GOP ticket doesn’t.

It appears that liberal feminists (symbolism over substance) really are afraid of real feminists (move over, man, and let a real woman do the work).

I’ve been fortunate to have worked with women of real accomplishment throughout my career. None (that’s like - zero ) of them were liberal. Were they discriminated against? Yup. They just sat back, and figured out how to outperform their competition.

Feminism is exposed as the complete fraud that it is. Feminism isn’t about women - at all. Woman are merely the trojan horse being used to fully deploy leftist ideology. It is nothing more than that. Feminists shamelessly use women’s “issues” for their own selfish, greedy ideological benefit.

Sarah Palin is the wrong kind of woman. Therefore, some women are apparently more woman than others.

Notice the name of the “Feminist Majority Foundation”? I see they took a page from Vladimir Lenin's playbook there. After the Russian Revolution Lenin's faction was a minority of the revolutionaries, but took to calling themselves the Bolsheviks (majority), and their opponenents the Mencheviks (minority). The names stuck. In the same way the feminists and their left-stream media allies pretend that the majority of American women are represented by the views of a handful of neo-Marxist lesbians.

“But we think it’s time to get off issues, such as lipstick, and honor the issues really that are challenging this nation...the war and the economy.”

As if the war and the economy are feminist issues. Let me tell you, if our nation’s great political dialogue was all about serious issues, no one would ever listen to a feminist again.

These “women” are the types that required a pork chop to be hung around her neck so the dog would play with her.

Excellent point. The Feminist "Majority" shares its politics as well as its philosophy with the Bolsheviks.
