Sexism is alive and well on DU [View All]

It was directed at Hillary and now at Palin.

I am not aware of any "sex tapes" about any (heterosexual) male candidates. I am not aware of any attention given to the clothes and body parts of any male candidates. But we saw it with Hillary and, apparently - judging from DU Home Page - Palin.

We cannot stop the Republicans who publicly admit to having wet dreams about Palin. But can we here, on DU, stick with the issues and keep any post about Palin's sex life off?

I don't keep my hopes up. DUers posted sexist comments about one of our own, so why expect that anything would change about the opposition?

Perhaps we can add this to the rules and remove any post that does not contribute anything to the discussion besides a prurient urge.
