Sarah Palin upskirt photo: sexist my eye!
So here is the "big-deal" picture of the day. A so-called upskirt photo of Sarah Palin. Well a) it's not a real "up-skirt" picture, but everyone is calling it that. It's more like a "blurry, through-the-legs" shot, but whatever.
Is it sexist? Well it probably is, but I don't give a darn tootin' because Sarah Palin brings this upon herself. She is clearly one of those "professional" women who uses their sexuality as a power-tool when dealing with men. I have no problems with that either, but it's a two-edged sword, and if you go around with your not-so-modest skirts and your sexy high heels, do you really think you aren't going to be sexualized? Sarah knows what she is doing when she dresses--professional--but sexy. It's calculated.
A shot like this very astute and perceptive of what's really going on with her actually. Polls are showing her support from women has dropped considerably and now most of her support comes from men. If you don't think her popularity is partly due to her sex-appeal, then please step away from the crack-pipe.
Boys, men, and women alike are drawn in by her sexuality. We aren't used to seeing sexy women in power and that's why we are fascinated. But when a Reuters photographer snaps these shots, we cry "fowl" and "sexism"? Get serious.
Palin's ride to the near-top is heavily due to sexism. She's been using her sex appeal to her advantage in the male-dominated world of politics for years.
If she really cared she would wear pants--but then her poll numbers would drop even more.
