In the comments someone pointed me to this ridiculous essay by Robin Morgan. Ridiculous because it’s full of lies. You know, if I were going to write an Eminent Feminist’s missive to the world — which Morgan clearly thinks she’s doing — laying out the Eminent Feminist viewpoint on Palin, I think I’d least check my facts.

Morgan obviously didn’t. In her piece she repeats long-debunked lies that it would have taken her only seconds to investigate: that Palin claimed the war was part of God’s plan, that she didn’t know what the Vice President does (it was a rhetorical question, for chrissake), that she denounced Hillary supporters as “whiners,” that she opposes sex ed, that she’s against contraception, that she opposes funding for pregnant teens, that she made a point of charging victims for rape kits, that she believes in “praying away” homosexuality, that she’s a crazy fundamentalist who wants to put us all in calico dresses, and on and on.

Those are all lies.

I don’t mean to pick on Morgan in particular; I could ask the same question of Eve Ensler, Gloria Steinem, Naomi Wolf, Erica Jong.

Why the lies?

It’s not enough to say that it’s because they all want the Democrat to win. I’ve been a feminist for 37 years, and I’ve never seen this kind of dishonesty. The feminist establishment is almost entirely Democratic, it’s true, but in the past Republican women have been treated with basic courtesy, especially those Republican women who called themselves feminists.

What has changed? Why are these Eminent Feminists behaving in such a dishonest and, dare I say, unfeminist fashion?

Robin Morgan closes her piece by encouraging us to vote for an African-American — and really, that’s exactly what she says. Vote for an African-American. Doesn’t matter, apparently, that the African-American in question is more crooked than Nixon, has run a sexist campaign, and is at the head of a movement fueled by raging misogyny. You would think that an Eminent Feminist would be disturbed by those last two things at least. But no.

Instead the Eminent Feminists like Morgan go out of their way to spread lies about the woman — the feminist — who’s on the opposing ticket.

Why?

""What has changed? Why are these Eminent Feminists behaving in such a dishonest and, dare I say, unfeminist fashion?""

"eminent" wouldn't rabid be a better word !

I say ! Lying and disinformation and left wing doctrine gibbering and propagation has been and is part and parcel of feminit claptrap for the last forty years

do we expect the skunks to change their stripes any time soon

They are feminists that's what they do.

Expecting feminists to not lie would be like expecting a child not to be naughty..

They are incapable of basic honesty, devoid of any dignity..

You haven't ?

Were you blind then or dishonest now?
