SHOCKER: NOW stands up at last to liberal misogyny
As Allah says, credit where due:
Comedians in search of a laugh should really know better than to snicker about men having sex with teenage girls (or young women) less than half their age.
The sexualization of girls and women in the media is reaching new lows these days — it is exploitative and has a negative effect on how all women and girls are perceived and how they view themselves. Letterman also joked about what he called Palin’s “slutty flight attendant look” — yet another example of how the media love to focus on a woman politician’s appearance, especially as it relates to her sexual appeal to men. Someone of Letterman’s stature, who appears on what used to be known as “the Tiffany Network” (CBS), should be above wallowing in the juvenile, sexist mud that other comedians and broadcasters seem to prefer.
Of course, they can’t help themselves, and must get in a dig at conservatives even yet:
On that point, it’s important to note that when Chelsea Clinton was 13 years old she was the target of numerous insults based on her appearance. Rush Limbaugh even referred to her as the “White House dog.” NOW hopes that all the conservatives who are fired up about sexism in the media lately will join us in calling out sexism when it is directed at women who aren’t professed conservatives.
Well, we’ll see about that. Get back to me when conservatives lay off tasteless jokes about homely daughters of liberal politicians and cross the line into outright rape fantasies and/or wanton-slut jokes about children — or, say, when you guys consistently apply the standard you’ve posited here, rather than just this once.
Yes, we’ll be watching.
Update! Added an important qualifier to the title. See if you can guess what it is. A-HEHN!

I'm sure you do, sweetie. But you've got about 100,000 or so more denunciations of shitheel liberals to go before you're even close to caught up "calling out sexism when it is directed at women who aren’t professed
conservativesprogressives." So you better get on it, you sanctimonious, hypocritical bitches.Anyone think this has anything to do with Palin or Letterman, rather than just another attempt by those has-been skanks at NOW to appear relevant? Me neither. Because I recall the complete absence of even a peep of protest against BJ Billy's multiple misogynist episodes. You remember - the pResident/rapist/serial workplace harasser you not only didn't "call out" but actually defended, and not for "sexism" but actual inappropriate sex - I guess he was just too Roe v Wade dreamy, huh? And you whores for any Democrat with pocket change (thanks, Ace) want to pretend you have some kind of moral authority on media sexism? Are you assclowns fucking kidding me?
FOAD, you stupid scrunts.
