Feminism without the feminists

Sometimes someone writes an article that sums up your feelings so well, you just have to share. Rebecca Traister posted an article at Salon. com titled "Zombie Feminists of the RNC: How did Sarah Palin become a symbol of women's empowerment? And how did I, a die-hard feminist, end up terrified at the idea of a woman in the White House?"

You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Sarah Palin is no feminist, and her stance on many political issues would be an enormous leap backward for women in the United States.
