Tea and Sympathy? No, thank you.

I've been thinking a lot recently about feminism as it relates to tea party candidates (Palin, O'Donnell, Angle).  According to some, I'm supposed to be proud, as a woman, that these three have obtained such status in the political arena. 

As a woman, a human and a citizen I am NOT proud of these shamefully unintelligent candidates.

Their version of womanhood [no reproductive rights, gun-toting pinup girls (while also promoting sex as shameful)] is infuriating and dangerous.
