I don’t think it’s going to happen. But I also did not think the country would be more interested in Jersey Shore than this month’s election results.

So let’s talk about what would happen if the first female president of the United States of America is Sarah Palin.

It would be the moment girls like me have been dreaming of since we could dream, wrapped in a package we never expected. How, exactly, would we celebrate the achievement we’ve all been waiting for…while lamenting what it means for American women as a whole?

There is no question in my mind Palin and her policy’s are anti-woman, however a Palin presidential run and win would be history, epic, and game changing for females.

What to do. What to do.

I know what I plan on doing.

Working my ass off to ensure a pro-woman candidate wins.

However we would be remiss if we did not prepare for the inevitable questions and possibility our first female president is someone we do not agree with. This means continuing to work to make sure Sarah Palin has every opportunity to become president, and calling out the sexism she will undoubtedly will be subject to when she runs.

This will be a test for all true feminists across the nation.

Time to walk the walk.

In the meantime, let’s hope her chances are as silly as these two-

Considering the hilarious flack the League of Women Voters is taking over actually wanting to follow agreed upon debate procedure, I thought I would clear my family’s name in all this:

There. That should put to rest the idea that we liberal women are the downfall of all good patriots everywhere. Or something.

And by the way, the League of Women Voters = patriots. I think their track record speaks for itself.

…because I would have told Ginny Thomas to #SUCKIT.

This was the inscription on Anita Hill’s Speaking Truth to Power, given to me by my parents in 1997.

I wish more has changed in the many years that have passed. But it seems the privileged continue to feel they are owed.

The good news is we WILL stay strong and beautiful inside and out, and the next time I bust out this book…it better be because Justice Thomas and his wife have issued THEIR apology to Ms. Hill and her parents, which she asks for in the conclusion of Speaking Truth to Power–

…I would like to remind you that none of you have apologized to my parents. At the time of hearing they were nearly eighty years old. They have worked hard all their lives and attempted to raise their children to fear God, seek the truth, and to respect the authority of the government…Your malicious indictment of me was an indictment of them and all that they have taught me. At a time in their lives when they should be enjoying carefree days of leisure activities, they still fear for my safety and well-being. At the very least they deserve a public apology from each of you.

There a lot of talk lately about female political candidates. Women in office. Women thinking of running for office.

Occasionally we hear their stance on the issues, but usually all we hear is noise. As of late it’s been about their Facebook escapades, the names they have been called, or their college religious preferences.

And now we have women on the left arguing with women on the right over who’s doing a better job standing up for females in the political arena.

Essentially, we’re having a nice, male-style, pissing match.

I have a better idea.

Let’s work together.

Clearly none of us get along. Clearly we couldn’t be further apart on policy, preferences and patience. But we do agree that the treatment of women in the media and by campaigns as we head into November could use some help.

On this we agree.

Let’s use it.

You don’t have to abort a fetus and I don’t have to let my neighbor’s house burn down. You don’t have to give away your money to the poor and I don’t have to suck up to big corporations.

We just have to continue to call out the sexism we see as we do our thing.

And keep everyone focused on the issues.
