I don't do sexist rants against anyone and I didn't against Palin. The simple fact is that her "accomplishments" outside the world of politics are negligible, and she's not above using her looks and her body to advance her own interests as appears from the Miss Alaska pageant, which most real feminists would consider an abomination. It "objectifies women" in feminist lingo. She took part in the contest, objectified herself as a woman, and now her supporters are demanding that she be respected just as if she had never voluntarily degraded herself in the first place. Doesn't quite work that way, unfortunately.
This discussion has gotten a little too personal, and I blame myself for it for boasting about our two daughters. That was, in retrospect, stupid and self-indulgent and shouldn't have happened. It really lowers the quality of these discussions. So I won't waste any time in responding to the rest of your post and I apologize for raising the matter in the first place.
