4. She&#8217;s ballsy. She stood up to all the mean girls who trashed her and the perverts who made pornography of her and the media who mocked her. She did it with grace, complete sentences (unlike our current resident moron) and with HUMOR and a big wide smile on her face.

<p>1. She reminds me of my <strong>mother</strong>. </p>
<p>2. She kind of reminds me of my <strong>mother-in-law</strong>. </p>
<p>3. She reminds me of <strong>myself </strong>actually. </p>
<p>4. She&#8217;s <strong>ballsy</strong>. She stood up to all the <em>mean girls</em> who trashed her and the <em>perverts</em> who made <em>pornography</em> of her and the <em>media </em>who mocked her. She did it with grace, complete sentences (unlike our current resident moron) and with <em>HUMOR</em> and a big wide smile on her face. </p>
<p>5. She <strong>refuses</strong> to stay in the <strong>box </strong>society made for her. In fact, she pretends there is <strong>no box</strong>.</p>
<p>6. She believes in <strong>God</strong> and she believes God has a <strong>plan</strong> for HER. So to I.</p>
<p>7. Seriously, she <strong>breast fed her baby</strong> in the limo and green rooms before those speeches. Let me repeat &#8211; she breast fed her baby on the <strong>campaign trail</strong>. That&#8217;s cool. That&#8217;s freaking amazing. </p>
<p>8. She realized <strong>kids are portable</strong> and brought them with her to campaign instead of refusing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue her dreams &#8220;because she had kids.&#8221; </p>
<p>9. She&#8217;s <strong>ambitious</strong>. </p>
<p>10. She&#8217;s<strong> beautiful AND smart</strong>. Yes, world, women can be pretty AND smart. We don&#8217;t have to pick one. </p>
<p>In fact, the ONLY thing I don&#8217;t like about Sarah Palin is her politics <em>this year</em>. </p>
<p>In 8 years she&#8217;ll be<strong> more mature</strong> and <strong>more experienced</strong> and <strong>qualified-enough</strong> if she can keep her nose clean in <a href="http://scribbit.blogspot.com/">Alaska</a>.
</p>
<p><strong>Barack Obama</strong> is the <strong>LAST man</strong> I will vote for before a <strong>woman</strong> serves as <strong>President of the United States</strong>. </p>
<p>So some Democratic women better step up to the plate and groom themselves for a solid run in 8 years. Hear that <a href="http://www.emilyslist.org">Emily&#8217;s List</a> and <a href="http://www.thewhitehouseproject.org">The White House Project</a>? It&#8217;s<a href="http://punditmom1.blogspot.com/2008/11/post-where-punditmom-defends-sarah.html"> Sarah Palin </a>if you can&#8217;t train a female superstar to step up to the plate and win in 8 years. I&#8217;ll even send you money and help you groom her, but I&#8217;m not voting for another <strong>pro-woman MAN</strong>. </p>
<p>I WILL vote for Sarah Palin <em>in spite of her politics</em> to break <strong>the glass ceiling on 2016. </strong></p>
<p>In fact, the way I figure it &#8211; if Barack Obama does what he says he&#8217;s going to do, then I will be satisfied with my<strong> equal pay</strong>, <strong>universal healthcare</strong>, <strong>family medical leave insurance</strong>, and solid standing in the Supreme Court, and will have <strong>healed the economy</strong> by using cash to pay as we go. </p>
<p>The <strong>Republican Party</strong> will have <strong>reinvented themselves</strong> and brought in some young blood like Sarah Palin and kicked out the crazies who are<strong> against birth control</strong> or I&#8217;ll be<strong> menopausal</strong> so it won&#8217;t be that important to me. </p>
<p>Obama will have healed the racial divide and sexism will be the <strong>final social frontier</strong> (Ok there will still be homophobia, but it too will be less pronounced in 8 years) and I&#8217;m sorry people, I don&#8217;t give a crap how much you personally hate her, feel offended by her, feel jealous of her, feel defensive by her outward morality &#8211; I NEED to see a woman in the highest office of that land.
</p>
<p>More importantly <strong><em>MEN</em> need to see it so we can earn their damned respect.</strong> My children need to see it, both my <strong>son</strong> and my <strong>daughter</strong>.
</p>
<p>If that woman is Sarah Palin, well, she&#8217;ll be highly entertaining to watch for 8 years. We might learn a few useful tricks from her about how to have it all. I&#8217;ll be watching her.</p>

&#8220;Sarah Palin is hot. I&#8217;d hit it like the Exxon Valdez.&#8221; from twitter.

 &#8220;Biden will spank her =)&#8221; from twitter.

Vice President I&#8217;d Like to Fuck dot com (VIPLF.com) acronym for a new website up within hours of her nomination.

These are just examples of the sexually derogatory sexism appearing all over the internet in the first few HOURS of Sarah Palin&#8217;s nomination as McCain&#8217;s VP.

Still think all the sexism and misogyny in this election was about Hillary personally? Maybe now you realize it&#8217;s about all women? 
Including YOU and Me.

</p>
<p>Just for fun let&#8217;s <strong>collect them</strong>: So we all understand what kind of respect the men in the United States of America have for anyone female.
</p>
<p><strong>Copy and paste all the sexually derogatory and sexist  references to Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential candidate, in the comments section of this post.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Not criticism of her politics or credentials and experience- but criticism that traces her worth or value to her sexuality or fuckability.
</p>
<p>Just for kicks, we might throw in her <strong>ability to mother </strong>and be Vice President simultaneously and how that makes her neglectful of her infant baby with Downs Syndrome. It only took CNN 5 minutes to question that.
</p>
<p>Gee &#8211; I wonder why women have self-worth and body-image issues?   </p>
<p>I wonder why women feel conflicted about working and mothering? </p>
