I never really jumped up and grabbed the feminist tag. I always associated it with people like Germaine Greer, who I never really liked, and I never wanted men to be doormats, ‘cos that would be no fun. But, Oh, My, Dearest, Life. This article by someone called Noemie Emery, who I’ve never heard of before, and who I assumed was a man (not recognising the name) until I googled them, because seriously, a woman could come up with this shit?
“There is something else that Palin brings to the table, that may be an unspoken source of this angst. She is the first woman near the very top level of politics who really looks and behaves like a woman, a woman whom men want to look at, and other women may want to look like. She has cheekbones to die for, movie-star hair, and has mastered the delicate dress code of looking both stunning and powerful.”
This is what you think a woman should be? You think all women want to look like Sarah Palin? Like they have 1000 pins in their hair, a poker up their backside and a nervous twitch masquerading as a flirtatious wink. Go away and find a suitable cliff to jump off.
And appart from that – you think all men want to look at Sarah Palin? Surely the popularity of the very different Scarlett Johanssen and Natalie Portman is testament to the fact that that is Not True.
