There’s something very special about contemporary feminists on the political left. Specifically, the way they seem to feel that giving lip service to abortion rights absolves them from having to not be total sexists. Take the comments section of Wonkette’s recent post on a Michelle Malkin video:
I don’t have $4.95. Can you describe the money shot for me?
I liked her better in “Debbie Does Dallas IV.”
Instead of sexy young Michele doing the cheer, wouldn’t truth in advertising require that a dried-up old prune of a woman wearing a Gawd-awful print dress and more perfume than a street hooker be the one to field the pom-poms?
We’re not cherry-picking – those are 4 of the first 5 comments. At least when pro-sex feminists talk about porn, they’re pretending to actually care about women.
Incidentally, we would go after Wonkette for the post itself – which is not what one would describe as progressive – but it passes the laugh test. Also, we had the exact same thought when we first saw the video on Hot Air. It was a strange choice to convey that particular view on the Democrats’ defeatist legislation (via: Gateway Pundit).
Full disclosure: I blog for Gridskipper, which is owned by Gawker Media. Gawker Media also owns Wonkette
