NOW chair in LA endorses PalinI'm thinking she'll now need secret service protection:Shelly Mandel's last major speech as head of the National Organization for Women in Los Angeles... next year at this time, she'll be lucky to be offering manicures at their convention.You think I'm kidding?Go now and read Mary Grabar's piece at PJMedia titled "Why feminists hate Sarah Palin". Here's a teaser: The anti-logical theories of postmodernism, where truth itself is questioned, parallel feminist thinking. Reason, as part of the Western patriarchal hegemony, is indicted over and over in jargon-laden obscurantist academic prose. While anti-reason theories circulated and were repeated in academic discourse, in politics the new ethic of caring was promoted by Bill Clinton and in the media by womens talk shows like Oprah, Ellen, and The View, where politics was wedged into teary discussions about makeovers in fashion and self-esteem. Barack Obama, with his community organizer experience, recalls the efforts of women with settlement houses, as proto-social workers. Women — and men who think like women — rule the liberal media and grant such emotion-based politics legitimacy. But the other side of the caring coin is the personality-based critical side — a nasty, catty one, indeed. The confusion of the two spheres, the application of caring that is appropriately reserved for the domestic sphere where all fetuses are allowed to be birthed and nurtured, is illustrated by Palin, who does not make such confusions. She does not infuse public policy with those notions suited for the home by promoting increased welfare, negotiation with terrorists, and efforts to understand the root causes of terrorism, as Obama said we should do in his post-9/11 speech. And she enjoys an approval rating among men of 62 percent, nine points higher than among women. Those in middle America who have not been taken up by the postmodern theories dominating our universities, especially at Ivy League schools like Barack Obamas Harvard and Michelle Obamas Princeton, like what they see. Palin presents the American ideal: the frontier woman who lovingly takes care of her family, with a shotgun if necessary. The feminist and her male followers who attempt to change American culture through histrionic grievances, demands, meetings, and mass protests see in Palin a glaring example of how their ideas were not only wrong, but unnecessary and, indeed, harmful to womens advancement.http://www.brutallyhonest.org/brutally_honest/2008/10/now-chair-in-la.html
