It is this hatred of female sexuality that fuels much of the Palin Derangement Syndrome….
And the truth of the matter is that [blogger Andrew] Sullivan, like Frank Rich and the creators of “Sex and the City,” may have a serious problem with women.
Especially when it’s a woman who is a cyclone of fertility and sex appeal who has actually, to the dismay of the pro-abortion left, had children.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
The father of lies, death and destruction hates when God’s children reproduce. The next generation has so much more resistance to face. PRAY for women who are misled to not desire children and our society’s selfishness.
What the pro-death men (and women) fear most is the fact that it is the woman, with her awesome God-given gift of motherhood, who is the greatest vessel on earth, as epitomized by the Blessed Mother of God herself. When she is exercising her natural gift of fertility and motherhood, there is simply no one and nothing to compare with her. The power of entering into the creative work of God is truly frightening to those with such a contempt for humanity and all things Divine, so they seek to denigrate it at all costs. Never mind the fact that they shall always fail, for death is what they wish for, and certainly what they shall receive.
I’m not a fan of Sarah Palin, but one of the reasons some people really, really hate her is that she gave birth to a Down’s Syndrome child. Oh, the audacity! Sick, huh?
Mark Judge summed up very well why I don’t like Sex and the City too. My boyfriend would ask, when he saw an episode or part of one, “Do women really talk like that?” and I always answer, “Of course not!” Sure we talk but we talk our own way, not like men, no offense to how men talk, and we certainly don’t talk to each other like gay men do, no offense to them either. There was a wierd story in the news about a British woman who decided to imitate “Samantha” and sleep with a lot of men. She slept with 1000 men I think, and kept a diary and published a book. I can’t remember what her timeline was, but it was something crazy.
Sarah Palin is successful. She has a husband, a family and a career. And she did it all without killing any of her children.
Ninek, I wasn’t a fan of that show or those four hags at all. It was about a bunch of whiny, self-absorbed elitist women who couldn’t keep their legs closed. I had no interest in it at all and I got tired of hearing the media say how “we” loved it. Well, “we” didn’t even watch it!
What phillymiss said ^ :)
That was a very strange quote. I’m a huge fan of female sexuality and not a fan of Sarah Palin. Also, I think it’s grossly unfair to say Andrew Sullivan “may have a serious problem with women.” But, I don’t hate Palin, and don’t think many do. Many just think she was a terrible choice for VP, and is not a good candidate for POTUS.
You don’t think many people hate Sarah Palin, Hal? Can you think of any other VP candidate where someone commerically produced and sold t-shirts calling them a c**t? Any other VP candidate who was referred to by members of the press as looking “slutty”? Any other VP candidate whose children were considered fodder for statutory rape jokes by late-night talk show hosts?
You don’t have to hate someone to make fun of them. Palin is easy to make fun of. No reason to hate her, though.

Political sexism is gross but not limited to Palin. Hillary appeared as a “nutcracker” and was told to iron men’s shirts, and Chelsea was called the White House Dog. When people don’t like a female candidate, they will often grab at the fact that she’s a woman to make fun of her for, as though that’s something to be ashamed of. Kind of like how you get idiots who think that calling someone fat is a valid retort to an intellectual or emotional disagreement. Small-minded people latch onto the things they believe society already views as inherently demeaning, and make fun of them. It happens to all types, and it comes from both sides.
I am not really a fan of Palin or Sex and the City. Never saw an episode of the latter and would probably never vote for the former. I don’t really see what one has to do with the other. (But UGH don’t even get me started on this awful generation of tourists and new college grads who come here expecting this city to be a SATC theme park. You know what this place really needs? More girls who don’t know how to walk in heels, waiting in line for The Right Brunch or The Best Cupcake or entry into The Hottest Club. Really. But I digress. :P)
