Plenty of men believe in female equality, supported Hillary, became PUMAs, and have been appalled at the misogyny aimed at Hillary and at Palin. And plenty of women, not all of them young or naive, have been participants in that campaign of misogyny. Gender is a surprisingly poor predictor of attitudes either way. when these idealistic young women realize that leftist men don’t give a crap about their issues

This isn't women labeled as bare-foot and pregnant in the home doing "womens work" type of sexism; this proves it with the comments of how she is a bad mother for not being there 100% for her infant, this is calling her names reserved especially for women BY women. And Sandra Bernard did that "comedy" routine expressing how she hopes Palin is gang raped. This is Campbell Brown perverting the meaning of sexism by saying that Palin doing a private interview is oppressive and sexist by the McCain campaign all the while her Messiah Lord Barack Obama is paying women less per dollar than the men on his campaign. This sexism is not about men bringing women down, it's women bring women down. Something is wrong here...
