Gender Shift

This morning, as per my routine, I grabbed a copy of Politico at Starbucks. When I saw the front page, I winced at a front page article: "Democrats Fear Gender Shift" with pictures of Democratic Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-01), Betsey Markey (CO-04) and Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15) campaigning.  According to the article, "nearly a quarter of the 56 female Democrats in the House are considered vulnerable."

But if (knock on wood), the GOP takes back the House what would that mean to women?

The "Mama Grizzlies" candidates, such as Sharron Angle and Christine "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell, endorsed by Sarah Palin and running for Congress are overwhelmingly pro-life. Yet, they claim to embody the "authentic feminism." Sorry Sarah but last time I checked, feminism meant a doctrine that advocates for equal rights for women. Yet, under your brand of feminism, I can't even have control over my own body? REALLY?  Hey Mama Grizzlies, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
