Re: Women="emotional" : McCain on town hall

  • really? I just can't tonight so I'm giving this latest performance: Sad
    Slainte!
    my read shelf:
    Jenni (jenniloveselvis)'s book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • I'm beginning to think that McCain can read my mind and is doing everything he possibly can to dissuade me from voting for him.  I may be a Republican, but I'm a feminist and I don't tow the party line when someone is bashing me for having a uterus.
  • This ticket just gets more cringe-worthy by the minute.

    But, apparently I am just jealous of Palin's looks.

    ::bangs head against wall::

     

  • Is Palin really supposed to be that attractive?  I haven't understood all this VPILF stuff.  She's moderately attractive but not hawt.  Is it because there's such a dearth of women in politics that the standards are lower than for the average population?

    I will totally cop to her being hot.  Seriously, that entire family is straight out of central casting.   If I didn't have so little respect for Palin, I might manage to be a little gay for her.  ;-)

    Well, yes of course - because we can't possibly be intellectually or emotionally capable of evaluating a woman by anything more than her appearance.  I mean, duh. 

    Looks like SP has been studying and has learned her limits image

    It's official.  "Women, know your limits!" is my new phrase for the election.

    Although I wouldn't laugh at what he said, I really don't see it as degrading  because I think that women are more emotional than men....we're wired that way and I see nothing wrong with that.  I don't necessarily see being emotional as a bad thing.  It really depends on how it is said and in what context.

    Having said that, I do not get why these women laughed and I think McCain was dumb for saying it because many people do take offense by this.

     

     

    And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
  • Ugh. No surprise that comments like this annoy the hell out of me.
