On Reading

Palin is the anti-feminist. I think most people know that, but she was branded a feminist simply for being a woman in office. No, she's an instrument of patriarchy, making reproductive choices while dreaming of killing that choice for other women.

I've mellowed on the issue of her parenting Trig. She keeps him close and nurses him, and that is what babies need, especially one as young as he is. Still think she was nuts at flying back to Alaska, but perhaps she's always had super-long labors. Who knows.

Anyway, I'm embarking on a reading jag right now, and plan to read a bunch of feminist tomes, specifically the anthologies Making Face, Making Soul and The Feminist Memoir Project. I think I need to remember the past, the past I haven't lived, and rejoice in the present. This election's really getting me down.
