Because I Have to Hate... Sarah Palin


Former Beauty Queen. Seriously... can anyone think of any other "former" ANYTHING that a woman could be that would piss me off more? Women who become entrenched in the pageant world help to perpetuate unrealistic standards of beauty. Not to mention, they are generally vapid individuals who believe that women exist to compete with each other, to be leered at, and to be judged. In other words, Sarah Palin has in her background the desire to squash all other women at all costs in order to win a sash and crown. I mean, really... would you want this contestant to be Vice President someday?

Forced Rape Survivors to Pay for Rape Kit. I don't really think I need to say more, but I will anyway. Sarah Palin rejected federal funding that would pay for rape survivors to have a forensic medical exam and invoiced survivors after their ordeal. Do you understand the implication of this action? Women, who sometimes have a difficult time reporting sexual assault to begin with, had to consider whether they could afford medical treatment before reporting. This potentially aids perpetrators in committing future assaults. Is this the kind of woman you want anywhere near the White House?

Irresponsible Breeder of Children (and Grandchildren.) Stop fucking having kids already! Didn't getting knocked up by YOUR high school boyfriend teach you that maybe you should help your daughter to practice safe sex? Of course it didn't. As with many irresponsible, batshit-crazy, right-wing zealots, you believe that women exist as incubators and should not curb their baby-making for any reason. Even if technologically possible to do so. Indeed, you seem to believe that unplanned children are "a gift from God." Well, I say that God (non-existent) should send gift receipts with those fuckers so that people could exchange them for, say, some nice throw pillows or a new blender from Target.

Psychopathic, Blood-Thirsty, Gun-Crazy Murderer. Even if you are NOT an animal rights activist, I think that most sane people realize that it is sick and twisted to hunt wild animals today. Indeed, how can we acknowledge that most psychopaths have symptoms of ritualistic animal abuse in their past and then glorify someone who kills animals with their children? Not to mention trying to keep polar bears from the endangered species list so that more hunters could come and kill these animals who are fast on their way to extinction. Not to mention putting a $150 bounty on the front forepaw of any wolves killed in Alaska. Fucking psychotic.

And the #1 Reason Why I Have to Hate Sarah Palin... because she would overturn Roe v. Wade. Enough said.

Because I Have to Hate... Facebook


So, I broke down and joined Facebook. I'm not sure why I did it. I can tell you that I didn't think it was possible, but Facebook is even more shallow and frivolous than MySpace. At least there is content on MySpace... Facebook simply lets you know what friend has "Superpoked" another friend. WTF? Look, if someone is actually getting superpoked, I prefer it to be written on their MySpace blog and include all the juicy details... not some stupid cyber application designed for middle school kids. Not to mention, Facebook automatically presents you with people you "might know" due to your connections or mutual friends. So, when I log onto Facebook, I get to see a photo of my ex-boyfriend! Thanks for THAT daily gift, Facebook! Call me reclusive, bitter, and secretive, but I much prefer the fact that on MySpace, one has to actually go LOOKING for people that you might want to reconnect with.

Because I Have to Hate... Katy Perry

Ugh... lesbians and feminists alike need to stop identifying with Katy Perry's song "I Kissed A Girl." I get why mainstream boys and faux lesbians of the "Girls Gone Wild" persuasion are listening to this overly-marketed, self-exploitative piece of crap but everyone else with a brain and a general proclivity for respecting women needs to stop posting this song on their MySpace profiles. Katy Perry needs to be stopped. And, in my humble opinion, needs to be sued by Jill Sobule for ripping off her song title and basically raping Jill's original idea of using a sweet, sentimental song to explore the first awakenings at the possibility of being with a woman.
