Patch_W_Adams's St Louis Blog

OK I was suprised too.....    While I was away enjoying the Holiday, I heard about Mccain's V.P. pick.  My first thought was...wow didn't see that coming...but it will make the Race a bit more interesting.  My second thought was in Reference to a Certain reporter on this Blog that Kept Bringing up Race in this Election.......Well what about Sexism?  

Hillary got a Full Dose of Sexism while running, implied and otherwise.  I always was asking where are the Feminists to defend Hillary?  Now I ask the same..where are the Feminist to defend Palin?  

There is a reason Sex Sells, it is because most Men are perverts.....don't lie..it's True you know it.  Yea..Hooters is really named after an Owl!.......That is why when we Men find out we are having a Daughter...we get Terrified.....because we know how we thought as Teenagers and how we think now.   And the thought of some other Male thinking those things about our Child...scares us......because Men look at women as Objects....at First.   I think most people Men or Woman Look First and Decide if they like what they see....then they decide if they want to get to know that person based on that......it's an instinct to a point...most Animals do it.....but we are Humans with Supposed Self Control.......But I have yet to be around another Man while Driving down the Street and Not have them point out a Woman to me....usually followed with a Derogatory Remark....If I were Honest I would say I have done it myself.... 

So that is why I heard some people on the Radio say, Well it's Great that Palin was Picked...and She is Hot!    OH COME ON....it's supposed to be the Vice-President!   Not a Playboy Bunny!   An Attractive person, Male or Female, is usually nice to look at...and Everybody Looks!   But to State that as a Reason or a Qualification for anything...is stupid....and Degrading...a Person should be Judged on their Record, Principles and Stances on Issues..Not Race or Sex....especially for public Office...

But to make a Long Blog Short(TOO LATE)  I did ask people this weekend at a party and other places if Race and Sex were to play parts in the Decision for who they would vote for....  I am suprised at how many Men and Women were dissappointed in Palin..not for her Beliefs..but because she is a Woman.   I also did hear some about Race, but not as Many as I did about  Sexism.   Hillary or Palin..didn't seem to matter.......It was pointed out to me that Racism does span the Races..but in a Small segment of each...but Sexism also Spaned all the Races...but was a HUGE part and was widely accepted in Many.

So Now..I ask You...Is there More Sexism...than there is Racism?
