Harper's Asks: "Is Sarah Palin Porno?" : Faux Liberals @ Feministing goad sexist attacks

0001.gif

Lamestream media, who doesn't think that when Harper magazine puts this on the cover of their June issue:

"IS SARAH PALIN PORNO?"

Of course the short front- of- book story linked to this title is simply another SEXIST lamentation to a women's political strength and has zip to do with people fucking for money as the header suggests. I showed the cover to a couple of women standing at the magazine rack and the were rightfully appalled. Sexism sucks and women of both parties are starting to see that. Who is not getting it? The patriarchal feminists who have traded women's progress for their personal gain--seeing themselves quoted by Lamestream Media as they reliably bash strong women.

So predictable : what does the Lamestream media do in response to women's rise to power (think both Palin and Hillary and now Super Women's Tuesday for women)? They tramp over to women who can be counted on to bash women and ask them to trash women in public so they can say say hey...Palin/Hillary are rotten and "feminists" think so too.
Knowing full well what I'd get...
I flipped over to Feministing to see what they had to say about women's wins in the elections. Guess what? Yeah, they are appalled.
Here's a sample post- :

From Jessica in the Washington Post:

Today, however, Palin is happily adopting the feminist label. She's throwing support behind "mama grizzly" candidates, describing the large number of women in the "tea party" as evidence of a "mom awakening" and preaching girl power on her Facebook page.
Palin's sisterly speechifying is part of a larger conservative move to woo women by appropriating feminist language. Just as consumer culture tries to sell "Girls Gone Wild"-style sexism as "empowerment," conservatives are trying to sell anti-women policies shrouded in pro-women rhetoric.

Yeah, women winning in major races is not empowering for women to Feministing women. For these so-called feminists, women ought only win in small and limited numbers and then only if they are fully supportive of the male they ultimately serve: THE GREAT BLACK ONE who was SO much better than pitifully Hillary and all her experience and policy and ability. A cool Black Dude over a woman is so totally awesome...and in keeping with their male dominated world view of who should really hold power.
And...talk about empowering bad shit:
LOL-- These Feministing idiots tried to appropriate the B word as empowerment, and we all know what a grand idea that was! No one is seriously saying Girls Gone Wild is empowerment, except perhaps dolts at Feministing. These are the dolts who mirth up Fat Bitch in their headers or have a black writer (Shark Fu) who uses the B word more than and, or. the in her writing!

So what did anti-feminists at Feministing do when Nikki Haley was given the "men should beat women" treatment in Will Folks sexist video? If you are expecting outrage you have been living on Saturn for the past few years!
Here is the uber dolt Courtney (will men please respect me if I say what they want) Martin had to say about the sexist attacks on Haley:

From the NYTimes:
"Self-proclaimed "bad boy" blogger, Will Folks, has come forth saying that he and State Representative Nikki Haley (who is vying for Mark Sanford's seat), had an "inappropriate physical relationship" three years ago. "
here Martin takes the reins:

Haley was just blessed with a major endorsement from Sarah Palin, who quickly turned Haley's controversy into another opportunity to play martyr on her Facebook page,

Sarah Palin's continued effort to hitch her wagon to anything that gives her a chance to look like the resilient victim aside, I'm fascinated to see how this scandal unfolds.

What will this kind of media hype look like with a woman in the position of power, potentially exploiting a younger, lower-ranking male staff member? Will the cougar stereotype abound?

Wow!!!!!!! Where have you heard that women who are victims of sexism should not cry about sexism, play the victim card? Oh yes, that was the right wing loony claim for years. Pretty amazing how these women idiots at Feministing will play foul-the-women games to other women. Shame! And note how Missy Courtney fails to mention there is NO proof of guilt by Haley, but like Salon plays up the accusation by a freak (Will Folks, sexist, wife beating pig who made video suggesting Ms. Haley should be beaten by men for running for office.

And I just caught that this

And I just caught that this article is in super-intellectual Harper's! Dear God! This is not Keith Olberman whom I expect to froth like a misogynistic lunatic but Harper's!

Excuse my language but

Excuse my language but OMFG!!! Valenti tends to be more stealth in her sexism toward women but Martin lets it all hang out. That is truly outrageous what she wrote and what a great catch on your part.

Here is something from the Feministing crowd that I recently read (although this dates back to before the Dem Prez Primaries. It's from an article "How to Hate Hillary" by Valenti:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/jessicavalenti

"Clearly, American voters take women politicians seriously - just look at the latest election. Nancy Pelosi is the first female Speaker of the House - the closest a woman has ever come to the Oval Office. Claire McCaskill and Amy Klobuchar's wins last month put women's representation in the Senate to 16 - an all-time high. And then there's Hillary."

Now this sexism is more subtle but I also find this shocking. Shocking that Valenti, #1 3rd Wave Feminist extraordinaire, seems to be a-okay with the minimal representation that women have in politics! In her eyes, we are just doing super! And the boyz at Daily Koz will be happy to hear her say that!

Interesting from the Boston Globe.

contrast this from Martin (cited above)

Sarah Palin's continued effort to hitch her wagon to anything that gives her a chance to look like the resilient victim aside

to this from Jessica Valenti (cited in Globe piece) :

Valenti is incensed that women who don’t believe women are oppressed dare call themselves feminists. Feminism, she says, is “a structural analysis of a world that oppresses women, an ideology based on the notion that patriarchy exists and that it needs to end’’

Excellent post on how they turn themselves on their heads when trying to hurt Palin. When it comes to litmus, women must see themselves as victims, but when it comes to Palin, any pointing out of victimization if forbidden.

Feminist is about equality. And that means getting it! Playing dirty to get there? Ok by me. Pitbulls and Grizzlies welcome, if you ask me. As long as they don't roll back choice more than Obama has done, I'm good!

oh that's easy: Is Obama

oh that's easy: Is Obama Nigger-Rigging the Country?

Just as offensive as Is Sarah Palin Porno? Harpers kiss my white female ass!

And this is coming

And this is coming simultaneously from the pole-dancer feminist cadre, the people who are trying to convince you all that Penthouse is a bastion of feminist thought, that "I can so be hawttt and sexxxay and feminist!" and that "prostitution is empowerfulating for women, I'm sex-POSITIVE, and here's my latest blog post about my fuck-me stilettos and thong underwear! I can SO have feminist orgasms!"

And now they are lining up and baying like hounds at sight of sex being used as a weapon of shame and humiliation on a woman -- more to the point, they are USING IT THEMSELVES. And they still think they're being so transgressive and haven't been brainwashed by consuming a diet of porno and sex created by and for liberal dude nation. I've got some beachfront property in Wyoming I can let those gurlz have for real cheap. "Jack Hitt" my ass. You can get the same horseshit from Valenti or Marcotte, both of whom will talk a great game about how orgasmically gooshy feminism can be as long as they're the ones getting laid.

Janis, you are so right on

Janis, you are so right on and I am stealing "empowerfulating" from you ;)

I think I ripped it off from

I think I ripped it off from someone else -- google it and you'll probably find out who it came from first ...

Is Sarah Palin porn?
By Jack Hitt June 2010 issue

The newsstand issue has "Is Sarah Palin Porno?" splashed across the top banner. The web version asks about her the "delectable horror" of Sarah Palin.

I am going to ask folks if you all have suggestions for a Barack Obama banner header that rises to the level of offense of the Palin header?
