Palin deserves our respect
By Helen McCaffrey
The Philadelphia Inquirer
I cannot predict who will win the presidential campaign, but I already know who will lose big: all women.
I realized this when I saw a 20-something male student who attends a class in the community college where I teach, wearing a T-shirt that read, "Sarah Palin is a [C**t]." He wore it in public, in broad daylight, and without shame or even consciousness of what he was doing.
I took the time to advise him of the "error of his ways" and informed him of the consequences if he wore it to my class.
This encounter shook me right down to my socks.

All this is at a time when women are regularly being raped as they try to cross the border into the United States; bloody, broken women haunt the emergency rooms of hospitals; and abuse and disrespect for women and girls is rising faster than bank bailouts. That is the atmosphere in which people, including women, choose to attempt to destroy a woman who is a legitimate political leader.
Drama queen much?
This is tiresome. Manufactured crisis and outrage is the source of all that is degenerate in our society. It spawns the victim mentality and the onerous calls to action that politicians use as an excuse to exert power over us.
