Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin told a group of women who oppose abortion rights that they are responsible for an "emerging, conservative, feminist identity."So true. If there's one thing you can say about feminists, it's that they spend a lot of time telling women that they're not capable enough to manage multiple identities.
..."Our prominent woman sisterhood is telling these young women that they are strong enough to deal with this," Palin said. "They can give their child life, in addition to pursuing career and education and avocations. Society wants to tell these young women otherwise. These feminist groups want to tell these women that, 'No, you're not capable of doing both.' ... It's very hypocritical."
Why, just last weekend, I could barely slip off my bra to burn it because I was carrying a huge "Mother OR Career Woman: You Can't Be BOTH, Ladies" sign at the Forcible Abortion Rally.
