A typical, white privileged, upper middle class asshole. No reason to consider the implications of what she's doing, because she only truly speaks for a protected segment of the population that also never has to consider why it is they can move through life with relative ease. Thus, the drama when life's challenges arise. "Look at ME, look what I'm enduring" Some make it through horrible experienced and actually grow a soul, they're humbled and connected. Some never get past the inherent entitlement and learn nothing
Her beauty is contrived, artifice, complacent and compliant and challenges nothing. I like beauty to be stunning or quiet, but beginning from the inside. Otherwise it means nothing to me.
I was watching a segment on Yoga on the news, and they interviewed this healthy young women involved with yoga and I thought how beautiful she was, with that glow that transcends simple features and body shape. She'd be considered fuckable too, by lesser standards.
These people have holes in their souls they try to fill with a terrible Father-God. (If I was so inclined) I pray to the rest of the non-existent Gods, that, that one in particular doesn't exist and never existed except in some twisted mind trying to make sense of the universe. I mean really, waiting for our beautiful earth to burn, and millions of people to suffer and die? Looking forward to it? Now that is mentally ill.
I was watching an interview with Ann and Nancy Wilson of the band Heart. They were talking about being female rockers in the 70's, when the second wave was hitting. Ann was saying "People thought being a feminist meant you hated men, or wanted to BE a man, which was a total misunderstanding" Nancy, "Yeah, a TOTAL misunderstanding"
To say the least, Huh? And it's actually gotten worse, because somehow women were frightened away by the propaganda, and stopped seeing the promise. Too long did we learn to value our fuckablility over any other virtues or attributes. Too long was fuckability a necessary survival skill. And Still the economy is anti-woman and anti child and forces women into decisions they may not have otherwise made, and still, consider them choices.
Yet track and roads were made, Palin, if nothing else, obviously has never read or never cared about the opinions of certain "great minds" about a woman's ability to lead. But she has feminists to thank to getting to where she is today, and the patriarchy for tearing her down, reducing her to body parts and sexuality and turning her into the sad, sick joke she's becoming. Will the experience deepen her? Will she grow a soul? Doubt it. She'll going on feeding body parts and sound bites to patriarchy and defend it every step of the way.
