Sarah Palin mania--the bad kind
New York women are going crazy, and not in a fun way, over Sarah Palin (via Hot Air Headlines):
Ms. Grose posited that some of the anger was because Mrs. Palin, a former beauty pageant winner, resembled a high school homecoming queen. "She has always embodied that perfectly pleasing female archetype, playing by the boys' game with her big guns and moose murdering, and that she keeps being rewarded for it," Ms. Grose wrote.A psychiatrist and conservative blogger, Patricia Santy, said the strong emotional reactions are driven by Mrs. Palin's differing with the left-leaning political agenda of many feminists. "Their entire image of themselves is based on the fact that they are paving the way for women. What do they see? Women getting ahead, women being empowered who don't agree with them," Dr. Santy said.
I realize I'm about to mention Dawn Summers in three posts before 10am but she did say it best: "no one hates women more than women."
In other news, I still have yet to wear my "Sarah Palin is my homegirl" shirt outside. I was going to wear it today but this article plus the fact that I need to get a haircut is putting me off. What if the chick at the salon is one of these women and gives me a bad cut out of spite? Isn't it atrocious that these kinds of things seriously need to be considered?

Take your men, in his best starched and cufflinked, waiting for you in the reception chair reading WSJ.
No catty feminazi would dare to peep a word.
["man", not "men". Argh.
but it all sounds the same!!!]
You have to wonder if these women were gang-raped by cheerleaders or something judging by how much they bring it up. But here's the thing. Sarah Palin wasn't a fucking cheerleader. She was on the basketball team. She was a jock. But you know, these people do their homework. They get all the facts. Jackasses.
Posted by: Ken Wheaton at September 19, 2008 10:37 AMMy aunt in FL is a by the usual accounts a strong, successful woman who enjoys church and [other than having a career] traditional values. She refers to Hillary as 'That Woman'.
That Dawny is a smart lady.

Posted by: Craig at September 19, 2008 11:00 AMObviously these Dawn lovers have never been to her blog. That you managed to pull that kernal out of the excrement, well, it must have taken you a while.

Yeah, but he has like a job and everything and can't accompany me today. It's too cold for a t-shirt anyway, I'm wearing a sweater.
Posted by: Karol at September 19, 2008 11:46 AMActually, "men" sounds way more interesting.
Posted by: Eric at September 19, 2008 11:47 AMShe refers to Hillary as 'That Woman'.
That's funny 'cause Hillary's husband referred to his girlfriend as "that woman".
Posted by: Karol at September 19, 2008 11:48 AMThe feminazis hate Sarah because she is not one of them.
The radical feminists are livid about the fact that it is a traditional woman with values and standards who is now taking center stage.
Go Sarah!!!!
Posted by: Delle at September 19, 2008 12:04 PMHow many homecoming queens hunted with the boys, anyway?
They're mixing metaphors like I mix cocktails.

heh,heh... "I did not have ..."
It's never too cold for t-shirts!
Posted by: David at September 19, 2008 01:56 PMSunday weather looks promising, in re: t-shirts. Added plus: after this crazy workweek, staring down feminazis might provide some good venting outlet for IC.
As for the rest of us, actually.
I don't blame you, Karol.
Just look at Jill Greenberg.
These people are emotionally disturbed-and I'm being charitable in that description.
Posted by: Gerard at September 19, 2008 02:55 PMI've been wearing a big Palin button on my Marc Jacobs bag for two weeks. I've gotten a few dirty looks on the subway (mostly from women!!!), but also a few friendly compliments. No one has paintballed me yet. Wear your shirt with pride!
