NOW definitely doesn’t favor Palin b/c she’s pro-life so that makes sense.

i just don’t think men REALLY want a woman running things but hell, NO politician is a hero in my opinion.

I’ll vote for someone who gets Wonder Woman as their running partner.

I don’t know. There was a pretty heavy support for Clinton on the Democrat side. She just had the unfortunate luck of running against a guy with a ridiculously passionate following in Obama. I really don’t want to get into politics, but it seems that it’s more people don’t want Palin running their country than a woman. Even NOW doesn’t favor Palin.

o and using the election as an example, i think it scares men that if something happens to decrepit old mccain, a woman would then be running the country. run for the hills! does that mean people will then decide to vote for obama b/c they’d rather make sure only men could be running the country? only time will tell…

men don’t really want to see a strong woman b/c it would just make them feel insecure about…their members. jk. either way, i think there is a lack of female heroines b/c everything is still pretty phalocentric (and no i didn’t make that word up). i’ve taken a few womenism classes and i can say that even language is set up to be male-oriented. i’m not bitching about what my husband deems hallucinatory as far as the world being male-centered. but the fact is, it is. i still make .75 cents to every male dollar and whatever. it is what it is. but i’m just saying i think as soon as a strong female voice is heard (sarah palin as an example, tho i don’t necessarily support her) men chime in trying to knock her down or at least show that she’s “just a woman”. i dunno, the issue goes beyond your need for a strong female character i suppose. it goes back to the heart of feminism and woman’s cry to be heard and taken seriously. i think we’ve come very far in the last few decades but there’s still a ways to go…
