Did you really think that all the unhinged attacks on  Sarah Palin were just misogyny gone wild?  Think again.

Until we manage to change it we live in a sexist, patriarchal culture.  Our culture devalues "feminine" attributes and equates "female" with "weak."  That was the purpose behind calling John Edwards the "Breck Girl" and MoDo's "practically lactating" comment about Al Gore – to "feminize" the candidates.

At least Stanford and Ensign were caught with girls who were not prostitutes, quite a step up for the Republicans after that wide stance and Vitter deal I would think.
