CEO Fiorina Now Knows What It's Like To Be Spied Upon

A mainstream Internet media take on feminism as practiced by crypto-fascist millionairesses. Here's the end:
In addition to the obvious nonsensical aspect of generalizing from one experience to 300 million Americans—if Frank had turned out to be a jerk like Carly's first husband, would that mean abortion should be mandatory?—Fiorina and Palin's pitches reveal graphically how selfish their brand of feminism is. With the addition of a hefty dose of good luck, and, in Fiorina's case, the value of a privileged family background, they made it. So their public policy is not to make it any easier for any woman who comes after them with, say, control of her reproduction or health care separate from her husband's job. Somehow the brilliant light of their narcissism is supposed to blind voters to the fact that there's another response to making it. Here's what real—not grizzly—mothers do: Make it easier for the young ones coming along next.

You know, maybe it's just me -- but a woman who once sported a buzz cut (yes, I know it was chemo-related...but that's not the pernt) really doesn't have much call to be criticizing another woman's hair.

Damn! Editor Sez:

Haven't even finished revision three & there's already a comment!

Not sure if she meant Boxer's 'do or Whitman's, which is rather sad.

We will give CEO Carly credit for not coloring her bob.

P.S.: Enjoyed that link you sent.
