It is hard to know where to begin today. I was born in 1972 and I grew up completely unaware that there was a glass ceiling. I believed from the time I was 5 that I could grow up and become President. So, it seems clear that the "Women's Liberation" movement has accomplished what it set out to do. The problem with any movement is once it gets rolling, it is hard to stop. That is why some women who have been caught up in the feminist movement continue to scream for special treatment.
Another problem for feminists is that any who still believe they are being discriminated against are "victims" who need to have someone to blame. Kids are an easy target, especially unborn ones. How can they protest? How can they demonstrate that they make most women better and more mature? Well, Sarah Palin comes walking on to the national stage with four of her five kids in tow and says she can be Vice President! For the feminist, HOW CAN THIS BE???
Now, the media is claiming that Sarah's daughter is proof that abstinence doesn't work. I am confused...was this an immaculate conception? Abstinence works when it is freely chosen by ourselves and our daughters. My daughter knows I am 100% Pro-Choice, choose to wait, or choose the consequences. She knows that if she becomes pregnant, we will embrace her and her child and her child's father and do what we can to help the navigate the accelerated growth curve they would be facing.
Women, there is plenty of discrimination in the world to fight, but not here in America. We have to turn our thoughts, prayers, money and muscle to the women in other countries who aren't looking up at a glass ceiling, they are under the boots of cruel and sadistic men and governments.
I think most American women know and understand this. That is why Sarah Palin is the most exciting thing to happen for women in a long time. She exemplifies all the grace and beauty of her feminism with all the strength and character of her Americanism. Sarah Palin is just one more woman, balancing work, family, faith, and real life worries and tragedies. She is America and she will get my vote for VP and with any luck, in four or eight years she will get my vote for President!!
On a total side note, KUDOS to our Republican Governors all over the south. You shined like the stars you are. Maybe not like the Rock Star Obama thinks he is, but like real stars that sparkle in the darkness of the night. I hope the media can set aside their politics long enough to give you the recognition you deserve.
TTFN,
