Jeri Thompson talks to John Hawkins about the (mal) treatment of a href=”http://www.rightwingnews.com/mt331/2007/12/an_interview_with_fred_thompso_1.php”conservative women by the media:/abr /br /blockquoteWhat I think is probably of more interest to some of your readers is the fact that conservative women get such a different treatment in the press, including the women’s press, than the Democrats.br /br /For goodness sake, Hillary has been on the cover of most women’s magazines and had glowing reports on everything she has ever touched.

No way are they going to give positive press to women like Jeri and other outsiders who don’t march in line with the rest of the “good girls.” Perhaps the a href=”http://www.wisdomquotes.com/002317.html””feminist” slogan/a “well-behaved women rarely make history” should be changed to “only well-behaved women make the cover of span style=”font-style:italic;”Vogue./span”
