Feminism is off-track. What was once a well-intentioned and
much-needed movement has devolved into exactly what some critics (at the time
of its beginnings) predicted it would become.
The girls went
wild with 1 million
abortions a year, many in the second and third trimesters. Before this issue was decided in 1973, the leading spokeswomen,
and spokesmen, assured America that they only wanted abortions in the first
trimester and partial-birth abortion (infanticide) was never mentioned. Obama’s support for
certain forms of infanticide is the logical extension of the casual culture of
abortion.
The girls went
wild with their support of Bill Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky situation. Just like the overly aggressive defense
lawyers in rape trials that liberal feminists justifiably reviled, they
attacked the accuser; in fact, they attacked all of Clinton’s accusers (Kathleen
Willey, Juanita Broddrick* and Lewinsky).
As long as Bill was a Democrat who protected abortion, the wild girls
did not care about his misogyny and, predictably, lost credibility, while lowering the bar on proper behavior for everyone.
The girls went
wild with the sexual revolution.
There was, from the beginning of this free sexuality, pressure on girls
to become sexual at a younger and younger age. We have a pornification of the culture that compels many
young women to behave in very sleazy manner. That is how we got Girls Gone Wild and other cultural developments that
are demeaning to women and America as a whole.
Sarah Palin
threatens liberal
feminism. She stands squarely
against all of the ways that feminism went awry and stands strongly for all the
positive aspects (equal pay, equal access, equal opportunity) about which it
was supposed to
be.
Sarah stands in
stark contrast to the vulgarity of portions of American culture, for which the country has
liberal feminism to thank.
Governor Palin’s presence on the national stage must remind the leaders
of this movement that they are not only complicit in the degradation of women,
but they are driving the changes that are so harmful to their constituents.
