Feminism or Liberalism?
I would never suggest that a woman should support Sarah Palin (or any other woman for that matter) simply because she has a set of ovaries, nor have I ever said that. Since feminism is about the advancement of women in society and helping females overcome male oppression, I think feminists should be able to admire (admire is the key word) some of Sarah Palin's accomplishments in a predominantly male environment. But, for the most part, they do not, and the reason for that is simple. Most feminists have very liberal political views, while Sarah Palin has decidedly conservative ones. From my perspective, this shows that feminism is not about the advancement and promotion of woman in society, it's really about liberalism and advancing the liberal agenda. If you're an accomplished female who is not for abortion and gay rights, feminists have no use for you, and they will attack your views (and you personally, in many cases) every chance they get. So much for mutual respect, tolerance and celebrating diversity.
