Where Have All the Feminists Gone? Long Time Passing

Where have all the feminists gone? I haven't seen hide nor hair of them since the Clarence Thomas /Anita Hill hearings in almost 20 years now. With recent events they should be swarming to the defense of current women in peril. For those of you too young to remember, feminists were a group of angry women started by and led by a fairly attractive woman named Gloria Steinem. They consisted mostly of masculine and butch type women who demanded equal rights for women in the work force and protection of women against abuse and violence. They made excellent strides for women and succeeded in getting legislation passed that gave women equal pay for equal rights in the work force and protected them against abusive husbands and violence and discrimination which I applauded them for. Rush Limbaugh in his 21 truths of life stated that feminism was started to give ugly women access to the mainstream. I used to cringe at that and say"Awww c'mon Rush that's not nice," but now when I look back I see that he was right or as Frank Sinatra sang in MyWay, "I find it all so amusing."

Throughout the Clinton years things started to change with the feminists and they showed they weren't for all women, just liberal women. Where were the feminists when Bill Clinton had a state trooper bring Paula Jones up to his room and exposed himself to her? Where were the feminists when Clinton forced himself on kathleen Willey and stuck his tongue down her throat and grabbed her breasts? Where were the feminists when Clinton was having oral sex with Monica on our time in the oval office with an intern his daughter's age? Where were the feminsts when Juanita Broaderick brought her rape charge against Clinton? The feminists used to say when it came to a woman making an accusation it wasn't whether she was telling the truth or not "it was the nature of the charge." Well here were plenty of charges made by women and the feminists just sat on their hands and gritted their teeth and found excuses for Bill's abuses each time.

Today there are women in peril and where are the feminists? Silent as usual. Do they still exist? Where were the feminists when Sarah Palin was brutalized by the media who made an intelligent woman governor who is considered the top governor in the country look like a dunce? Where were the feminists with Miss California Carrie Prejean when that flaming gay idiot judge Perez Hilton called her a "dumb bitch" and said if she won he would go up on the stage and knock the crown off her head and run out the door with it. Even Greta Van Sustern,(who I've come to like over the years) last night said she was a feminist and came to the aid of Sarah Palin and her daughter against David Letterman's lowly rape joke about her 14 year old daughter being "knocked up by Alex Radriguez." Greta also stuck up for Miss California who I think is a brave woman and said what she sincerely believed which is why her crown was taken away from her. Like I said, feminists aren't for all women, just liberal women. Even Greta asked "Where are the feminists?" Yes, Greta, to take from a popular folk song,"Where have all the feminists gone? Long time passing."
