Is Sarah Palin really a woman?

Apparently not to Professor Wendy Doniger who teaches at the University of Chicago’s Divinity School a href=”http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/wendy_doniger/2008/09/all_beliefs_welcome_unless_the.html”who states about Palin:/a br /br /blockquoteHer greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman. The Republican party’s cynical calculation that because she has a womb and makes lots and lots of babies (and drives them to school! wow!) she speaks for the women of America, and will capture their hearts and their votes, has driven thousands of real women to take to their computers in outrage. She does not speak for women; she has no sympathy for the problems of other women, particularly working class women. /blockquotebr /br /I have read a lot of whacky things in the media about Palin but to deny someone’s biology based on political beliefs that disagree with your own is definitely out there. Fortunately, other women feel the same. Here is a good response to this diatribe from a a href=”http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/wendy_doniger/2008/09/all_beliefs_welcome_unless_the/all_comments.html”commenter named Kelly:/abr /br /blockquoteI hate to drop this bomb on this idiot, but if you have a vagina you are a real woman. That includes even this moron. Just because a person does not agree with your political views, especially abortion on demand, that does not excommunicate them from their biology. Being a woman is a biological fact. However, being an individual trapped in their own political dogma frothing at the mouth about any woman who does not agree with them is simply deranged. It is amazing how one attractive, intelligent woman with conservative views has set the feminist crones spinning. I sit back and enjoy the show. Although abortion is the holy grail of the feminist crones, the majority of American women don’t vote on a singal issue, such as myself. I believe in abortion in certain instances but it is not my singular issue and does not decide my vot. The feminists are revealing their blood lust for the murder of unborn children anywhere anytime for any reason. Keep it up feminist, we women of the heartland are watching and we are not approving./blockquotebr /br /What is amazing to me is how many liberal a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_feminism”gender feminists /athink that they know what is best for all women, just becauseem they /emhave a womb. Maybe it’s time they woke up and realized that the women of America are not buying the crap they’re peddling.
