How is Sarah Palin anti-woman?

Question

I've seen a lot of comments about how VP candidate Sarah Palin is anti-woman. So I did a quick search to see what I could find.

Except for her stance on abortion, which many will jump all over as her being anti-woman, I haven't really found anything that makes her a misogynist. I'll admit I didn't search very long on it though.

Is there something else about her that makes her anti-woman, or is this just a bunch of liberals doing some mud-slinging at her simply because she doesn't agree with them?

I'm not implying anything. I honestly can't see anything though.

As a side note, Yahoo listed Books and Authors as the first section to post this in for some odd reason.

Answer 1

She is everything Tehabwa listed. That's not only anti-women,  it's anti-man, anti-civil, anti-humanity, and anti-reason.

She's a poster woman for every slack-jawed idiot who believes voting republican business-buddies actually helps a working family.

Answer 2

Sarah Palin is anti-woman not only because she is anti-choice, anti g*y rights, anti-health care, anti-everything that really matters to women but because she is using her status as a woman to make people believe she is qualified to lead the country. She is in no way prepared or qualified to be the Vice President. McCain chose her to shake up the election, not to highlight her political prowess. Her being picked as the vice presidential nominee is a slap in the face to women, whether they realize it or not. This is not a step for women's progress. The Republican party is using her to win over Clinton supporters. Do you really think that anyone in the traditional Republican party really respects her? She is the beauty queen, tough chick, that is going to get attention on the "progressive" and historic steps of the Republican party and away from the real changes that need to be made in this country.

Answer 3

I don't really think she's anti-woman, but she has yet to appear pro-woman.

EDIT: She (and McCain) could show a bit concern for women's issues. Obama has at least done that.

Answer 4

Left wing feminists don't own feminism or get to decide who is or isn't a feminist.  

Answer 5

She isn't. Her stance on abortion is due to her Christian Faith. Otherwise she is a testament to the modern woman's upward mobility in our society.  

Answer 6

"Anti-women" is just another divisive term people use to garner support to their beliefs.

For many she is the embodiment of what a woman can do. For others she is the antithesis of what a woman should be able to do.

It's a never ending debate and you can only reasonably argue about with someone if they are willing to listen and potentially change their views when presented with valid information.

Unfortunately most don't want to reasonably argue. They want to prove their point and make sure everyone agrees with them.

Answer 7

The big thing is abortion issue since it appears that is the most important thing to many females here.

The second is that Palin refuse to place people into sub groups and have different answers and policies for each sub group. Too many politicians have a different answer when addressing the so called sub groups in speechs.  

Answer 8

"How is Sarah Palin anti-woman?"

Huh?

She's anti-choice > even in cases of rape.

She supports abstinence-only education > which has a pretty high failure rate.

She wants creationism to be taught in schools > teaching misogynistic twaddle as fact when it has zero basis in reality.

She is against g*y marriage (anti-L*****n > anti-woman).

Answer 9

V.P canindate Sarah Palin, is an American Ideal Woman,

Stable marriage,

Loving Husband,

Great job,

Beautiful children,

She is the American Dream,

But many people believe for selfish reasons, that abortion should be okay,  (killing a child is wrong, unless there are health issues being considered)

Gun Control- The American Constitution is for Gun Control, but many of these USA liberal communists don't realize the reality of what that means, and they only see and hear about the few negatives like:(gang voilence, and unhealthy people wrongfully using guns)

Mrs. Sarah Palin therefore has a few people whom dislike her out of sher jealousy.  And therefore label her negative names.

Answer 10

She's pro-woman, pro-man, pro-baby, and pro-family.  She's a real feminist, not a man-hating, baby hating woman hiding behind feminism.

Answer 11

Well she is definitely not a feminist.    

Read Tehabwa's answer to this question, she did a great job of answering you.

Answer 12

Presumably because of her stance on abortion. Somewhat ironic if you take history into account, you know, the feminist pro-life thing back in the day with Susan B. Anthony.

Answer 13

Of course you're implying something or you wouldn't be asking this question in the first place. Please allow me to try to put it into words you can understand: Palin is anti women because she is anti women's rights, (she is against abortion even in cases of incest and rape, not good) and abortion IS the BIGGEST issue concerning women because women are the only gender it affects. Her only "qualifications" seem to be jogging having a downs kid and knowing how to fry a caribou burger. Get it now or is it too much information coming in all at once?

Answer 14

she belongs a weird church , speaking in tongues , waving hands all around for 2 hours every sunday . i have been in this c**p as a kid . dont trust these sick minds.

Answer 15

lot of people view Republicans as anti women.

lot of people view any stance that is pro life as anti woman.

It's kinda the same thing as people view republicans as war hungery, the last 7 wars(minus current of course) have been started while a democrats was in office and ended with a republicans.

I dont view Palin as anti woman...I disagree with her stance on abortion.  but I dont think legal abortion is ever going to go away, and she is pro women in every other way.  h**l she is one superhero of a feminist in every other way. Five kids, hard working, great resume, and up to be VP.  

Some people need to stop watching the news...and do a little research..you cant find real information on the news stations any more....it's "entertainment" now.

Edit fine...she is anti women however with that same train of thought Obama is Anti human with his abortion policy of killing already born children.  

Prof what does drilling, this war, or any of that stuff have to do with feminism?
