The tribune reported today that there is such as thing as a Sarah Palin look-alike stripper contest.
Why, why WHY are all women politicians belittled and rejected as human beings? This contest is not honoring Sarah Palin. It's demeaning her. Society cannot accept that women can be intellectuals and responsible citizens. When they see a woman who is smart, they can't help themselves. They must degrade her and value her as nothing more than a sex object.
Sarah Palin is not the only victim of this sexist crap. All female politicians are judged on how they look and what they wear.
Remember when Hillary Clinton was running for president? How many articles did you read about her that mentioned her clothes and hair? I bet you didn't' read any about Barack Obama's new haircut. FYI, Hillary's headband obsession has nothing to do with her ability to run this country. It's too bad she isn't our president, but she sure is kicking butt as our Secretary of State!
I wish I lived in a world that valued women the same as men. This stupid "contest" is proof that I don't.
(For the record, I dislike Sarah Palin tremendously, but no one deserves to be humiliated to this extent.)
