In a recent article for Salon Magazine, feminist author Cintra Wilson attacked the Republican presidential ticket with a slew of insults aimed at Sarah Palin’s claim to represent American women.
The article, titled "Pissed About Palin," Wilson accuses Palin of being nothing more than a nice package for the worst aspects of Republic conservatism: pro-life, overly-aggressive and anti-feminist. "As a woman who does not believe what Palin believes," writes Wilson, "the thought of such an opportunistic anti-female in the White House — in the Cheney chair, no less — is akin to ideological brain rape."
Cintra Wilson does not stop there. She calls Sarah Palin a bunny to John McCain’s Hugh Hefner. She reduces Palin to nothing more than the sexualized front for the conservative right-wing. She calls women to stand up against Palin, starting the article with the line "Sarah Palin may be a lady, but she ain’t no woman."
In response to the article by Wilson and others like it, conservative media accuses their feminist authors as doing the same things they claim to abhor: forcing their ideology on others and unfairly demonizing hard-working Americans. A Boston Herald article in response to Cintra Wilson’s Salon article is a perfect example.
