Stephen Colbert sets us straight on the official Palin position with the National Organization For Women (read: huge feminist organization). In classic manner, Colbert quickly punches NOW's argument out: All feminists are interested in equal rights for women. Discrimination against Palin is acceptable since she supports positions against women's rights. However, NOW clearly supports equal rights for ALL women (not just SOME women). But Palin's not interested in women's rights, she's not a feminist, and not interested in women. Thus, NOW is not interested in Palin. She is a woman though, but obviously she can't be interested in her own rights.
Colbert then brings his point to the fore, "Is Palin actually a woman then?"
Huh. Probably not.
NOW is probably just an organization for SOME women anyway. Okay... so it's not a clearly defined position for NOW, but hey, it's humorous. Sorry gals. Roll with it.
