Poor Rosie!

I was pretty aghast to find this photo shopped horror of a classic piece of Americana feminism, generally because people are trying to pretend like Palin is a feminist when in reality she is anything but. She is a woman conservatives like because she touts every ideal--particularly gender ideals--that they hold dear in a pretty package that really has no substance.

We can do what, Sarah Palin? Charge victims for their own rape kits upwards of $1200? Create abstinence-only sex ed programs while criminalizing abortion, even cases of rape? Ban books in libraries? Start faith-based wars?

With each new thing I hear, the more disenchanted I become.
