1. What is your point? People talking about Sarah Palin is nothing original.

[merrily]

4. Those are posts about the appearance of female candidate running for V.P of the USA.

[B2G]

2. LMAO.

Sarah Palin's politics are disgusting, but the amount of criticism she was given based on her appearance alone made my head spin.

But I did see the outrage coming when it comes to Hillary.

[sharp_stick]

3. I love context free posts

do we get 20 guesses?

1) Someone got pissed because you made fun of Hillary Clinton's hair?

[merrily]

8. He or she said the links illustrate hypocrisy.

[treestar]

5. Sarah is a Republican

Worried about her being treated fairly?

[merrily]

11. Supposedly, it's a "feminist" issue, not only a Republican/ Dem issue.

I hate that classification. For everyone else, it's equal rights, for women, it's feminism or women's lib.

Would be okay with you to call an African American Republican or a gay Republican some vile name you would never call a Democrat?

I don't know that I agree that every comment on a female candidate's appearance is sexism. Then again, some definitely are.

However, it's been posted here that any comment about a female candidate's appearance is sexism. So if you believe that, the OP does indeed show hypocrisy.

[treestar]

43. Republicans are going to do this to Hillary we just know it

I think I've reached the point where it's not sexism as we spend plenty of time making fun of men for their hair and looks. The Turtle, Eddie Munster, Trump's horrible hair, and a recent thread on how creepy Ted Cruz looks make me comfortable.

It might be when it is clothes, since men don't get crap about that - they have the suit and tie uniform. But I admit I enjoyed the image in one of the 2008 debates where all of the candidates were pictured lined up. Hillary was wearing a brightly colored suit and it let her stand out among the suits!

[sabrina 1]

34. Feminism applies to all women. If making fun of women based on their appearance is

viewed as sexist for Democratic women only, that is called 'hypocrisy'.

As you pointed out, Palin is a Republican, there is plenty to attack her on other than her hairdo.

[treestar]

44. Better get used to it as the Republicans are going to attack her

in every sexist manner possible.

[sabrina 1]

45. That's because they can't discuss issues. We can, so no need to stoop to their level.

And they are only waiting, it's already happened, to attack Liberals/Feminists for attacking a woman on her personal appearance, and call it hypocrisy. They have already done so.

I don't believe in handing weapons to the enemy.

I believe in defeating them where they are weakest.

[treestar]

46. So if we stay away from it we will not be charged with

failure to "fight." That's good.

[geek tragedy]

6. or . . . maybe some of the stuff thrown at Palin was sexist.

Even though she is utterly loathsome

[TDale313]

14. yes, this.

I despise Palin, but that doesn't mean sexist attacks on her should get a pass. I'm not a huge Hillary Clinton fan, I'd prefer someone else, but I do think some of the attacks on her (attacks on appearance, for example) are sexist, and should be called out.

[boston bean]

7. What do you think this proves... that sexism doesn't exist on the left? nt

[B2G]

9. Uh, I think it proves it DOES. nt

[boston bean]

10. Let's wait for snooper2 to answer, okay..

Cause I got the sneaking suspicion that he is trying to prove that since it was done to Palin it is ok to do it to Hillary..

That is what he means by hypocrisy...

He can clear it up.

[snooper2]

13. nope, just showing that people change their stripes when it's their person

In a couple of those threads there are some DU'ers calling out the fact that how Palin looks has no fucking bearing on her credibility as a candidate but those posts are far and few in between-


Of course, I could go down the path of everyone who has made fun of Mitch McConnell the turtle but I've done that thread before

[boston bean]

15. You find all those comments about Palins hair to be sexist? You in particular... not

anyone else.. do you?

[Rex]

19. Poster seems to be concerned only about others doing these things!

When he himself does it...not so much concern!

[snooper2]

21. to an extent...

When people make fun of a politicians looks is it truly sexism or just trying to knock them down?

Here is a thread with you commenting on RMoney's hair-

was that sexist?


http://www.democraticunderground.com/125128554

[boston bean]

26. LOL, Everyone please click on that link as to what snooper would define as sexist!

But this link:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6500857


wouldn't necessarily be, according to snooper2.....

Now back to the meat of the conversation..

If you do not believe the comments are sexist, you ARE saying that the hypocrisy is on those who feel it is.

This is a strawman thread, in support of sexist commentary.

It was sexist to do it to Palin, it is sexist to do it to Hillary. Your wanting to make some kind of point that it occurred on DU prior as evidence it isn't sexist, is ridiculous.

[snooper2]

33. First, I didn't say it wasn't- I said it was to an extent- Second

I didn't SAY your comment on RMoney's hair WAS sexist-


I ASKED you if it was-

Clarification on aisle 14 Please!

[boston bean]

37. More prevarication on the topic... but that is expected...

I am correct, you are drawing false analogies to try to make it seem that discussing Hillary's hair styles is not sexist.

Proof of that is in the link you provided of what you feel was to an extent sexist, and trying to paint people as hypocritical.

When in fact you really don't feel any of it is sexist and are trying to bolster your own beliefs.

[snooper2]

38. now you aren't answering any questions and are just making stuff up LOL

fun times


You can make it about me if you want to, I am feeling kind of special today

[boston bean]

39. What are you feelings on "social justice warriors"?

You know that canard you pull out whenever there is a thread regarding feminism?

[snooper2]

40. No, I pull that out whenever something happens and nobody has any of the facts

Example #1

Wahlberg gets his pardon from the only person who matters – the VICTIM

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025949832



Example #2

Well... I guess lots of us owe the LAPD cop an apology... Pics/details emerge of car sex

18. LOL! Sure is funny coming from yoU!

My my sexist AND ageism all rolled into one YOU...but you keep going on with your bad self!!

[snooper2]

22. McCain is senile...I've got it from a good source

and what was sexist in any of those?

looks like truthy to me oh Rexy!



She is a quitter,

Can't handle having her life under a microscope (I.E. quit being gov. because of investigations (remember trooper-gate?))

And, is pretty much just lazy, wants a talking gig on Faux News,

Oh wait, she's already got that as a "contributer"...

[Rex]

24. LOL! My my with the excuses! But YEAH you go on about others being hypocrites! Talking bad about

other people...not YOU though right?

Seriously, your 'concern' is far too early...I guess you could not wait right? FUN right?

[snooper2]

28. so you got nothing...gotcha LOL

[Rex]

29. Yes yes ignore the links and my post! LOL!

Your 'concern' is noted in the big book of hypocrites!

[LanternWaste]

32. It's merely bemusing watching you hold others to a higher standard than you hold yourself to.

It's merely bemusing watching you hold others to a higher standard than you hold yourself to. It quite entertaining however, watching you rationalize it.

[arcane1]

41. I had a completely opposite interpretation of the OP.

[boston bean]

42. I believe many would and wrongly so. nt

[NM_Birder]

12. phhhhhhfffft that all you got,..............

What about the "Sarah Palin is secretly raising the down syndrome baby of her daughter"

that "story" and the subsequent rush to push that "truth" as far as it would go, taught me some very valuable lessons about what Democratic Underground is capable of.

1 Democrat women are made to feel the oppression of struggling in the white man world. -and two-
2 republican women deserve to be belittled in anyway possible, and their children are to be included, and there is nothing off the table. Including sexually explicit photo shopping to mock their physical appearance

[Ms. Yertle]

23. "Democrat women????????

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

[geek tragedy]

30. "Democrat women"

shocking to see someone with a history of belittling the concerns of African-Americans and women use such phraseology

[yardwork]

16. There are a lot of valid reasons to criticize Sarah Palin.

Her appearance is not a valid reason for criticism. It's purely sexist.

And before you mention Trump's hair - his hair looks so odd it is a valid reason for comment. His hair is ridiculous and the comb over is reflective of his absurd vanity. It's not sexist to laugh at Donald Trump's bizarre hair style. It is sexist to snipe at perfectly mainstream appearances of Palin and Hillary Clinton.

Knock it off. Stop with the sniping at female politicians' clothes, hairstyles, etc.

[NM_Birder]

20. Don King had fucked up hair too,....

Just like Trump, he did it on purpose .......PAID someone to do that to his hair just like Trumpy. I doubt seriously Donald trump wipes his own ass let alone styles his own hair.

[yardwork]

27. They're both entertainers.

[seabeyond]

17. i cannot tell you all the times i was forced to defend pain because of du sexism. nt

[Rex]

25. If only everyone was like YOU and did not ever make fun of others!!!

[snooper2]

35. I make fun of everyone...

Shit-

Duck!

CHEMTRAIL

[Rex]

36. Oooooohh you are BADDDD!!!

Now you are just pushing it!

[BainsBane]

31. It is sexist in regard to both candidates

and politically aware people should try to avoid making such comments.

[Warren DeMontague]
