From the feminist blog, Shakesville:
Well, that took — what? — an hour? Petulant just emailed me to say he heard someone on the Stephanie Miller Show calling Palin a “bimbo.” (Presumably because she’s a former beauty queen.) And I’m already reading indictments of “her” that include information like “her husband works for an oil company.” F***. Says Pet: “The slaughter of your gender begins anew!” Sob. For the record, there is plenty about which to criticize Palin that has absolutely f***-all to do with her sex. She’s anti-choice, against marriage equality, pro-death penalty, pro-guns, and loves Big Business. (In other words, she’s a Republican.) There’s no g**damned reason to criticize her for anything but her policies. And I’ll go ahead and put it right in the f***ing inaugural post in this series: I will defend Sarah Palin against misogynist smears not because I like or support her, but because that’s how feminism works.
