Desh, maybe you need to be reminded of this...
In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
This is sexist, pure and simple. Whether you agree with Palin's politics or not, if you believe in equal treatment for women, you better stand up and acknowledge sexism when it is so painfully obvious.
