Sarah Palin Calls Herself a Feminist While Blasting Left-Wing Feminism (VIDEO)
In an interview with Bill O'Reilly on 'The Factor' (weekdays, 9 PM ET on Fox News) Sarah Palin expressed her displeasure that left-leaning groups have "co-opted" feminism, because she believes their ideology has made women too dependent on others."(Most women's organizations) do not empower women, in fact they make women sometimes feel weak and incapable of taking care of themselves and their families," Palin argued. "Too many feminists today have decided that women need someone else to take care of them, and that's the most hypocritical feminist mantra that there can be."
O'Reilly then asked Palin why she considers herself a feminist.
"Because I am self-reliant and quite independent and have been lucky ... to be brought up in a community and a state where women are expected to work as hard as the men are, and even engage in the same type jobs that they are."
Given her embrace of this brand of rugged feminism, maybe Palin's slogan for any upcoming political campaigns should be "I am Mama Grizzly, hear me roar."
