Last week a group of us gals made a pact: Whenever the Times commits noteworthy sexism we will cancel our subscription to the Times for one week. Barely an hour went by before I had to call the Times and cancel for the next two weeks. Yesterday we wrote about Mauren Dowd's Mean Girl sexism of using sexism to hurt women. Today we will point out another atrocity the Times has committed against women.

Now, first let me say that I wore a skirt and blouse to work today. A gray skirt that hits just above the knees, no nylon stockings and a button down blouse with long sleeves. But according to the Times (and the pictures they used to talk about Conservative Women candidates currently running for office) I was all gussied up in a "rump-hugging skirt" and "curve-enhancing garments." Hell, according to the Time when I walked into the conference room for our 9 a.m. meeting I ought have done the dance of the seven veils rather than outline a presentation or pitch as expected.
And...I can tell you when the Times says I'm showing up for work in sexed up get up that is "overtly female" I can tell you, they are absolutely inviting me to NOT move of the corporate ladder. They are using sublimation to send signals to my co-workers that a women who sashays about the office in RUMP HUGGING come-fuck-me clothes is begging for it. YOu know: IT --that lack of respect that comes from having breasts that, show up under my clothes.

FUCK the Times and the misogyny they conjure daily!

Of course, in their sickening partisan divisive fashion, they hold up Hillary and Pelosi as serious women who wound not be caught dead in anything but male couture. And then there is the removal quote from the dreadful editor of Vogue castigating Hillary for not wanting to wear anything too feminine on their cover.

When, during her presidential campaign, Mrs. Clinton declined an invitation to appear in Vogue magazine for fear, her handlers said, of appearing “too feminine,” Anna Wintour fired off a scathing editor’s letter.

“The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously is frankly dismaying,” Ms. Wintour chided. “I do think Americans have moved on from the power suit mentality. Political campaigns that do not recognize this are making a serious misjudgment.”

Yes, we blasted the fool that is Anna Wintour
for her silly statement, that the Times has so obligingly proved utterly false. No one has moved on from sexism, not least because the Times lambastes any woman daring enough to allow herself to be a woman while running for office.

But best of all the reader comments from the Times site show that the Times and Wintour are more foolish than clay:

Never read any discussion of the clothing worn by male candidates. Why should we care what the women wear?
Well said, Oldokie from Portland!

Also, folks the Chicago Sun Times reported that Palin, wearing the skirt in the above picture, was all jazzed up in a "mini skirt." Oh the journey to misogyny/sexism is so easy for MSM Liberal Sexist Dudes. If that is a mini skirt, then Barack Obama spoke at a rally with a big black vibrator up his arse set to speed dial. Raise your hand if you are tired of being belittled for you gender and ambition.
