"Liberal misogyny is OK in America,"

So says Don Surber in an excellent post listing the variety of misogynist attacks against conservative women that have been ignored by liberals.

It's no secret that attacking conservative women is permissible in much of the liberal blogosphere. Sites like Pandagon and others either ignore such blatantly sexist behavior or use the tried-and-true explanation: they had it coming.

Surber notes, as I have, that you can get away with the most egregious sexist barbs so long as you support abortion till birth (or after, if you're Barack Obama). You can sexually harass employees, make disparaging remarks about women and call them every nasty name in the book. Because modern feminism is more concerned with keeping abortion available for 12-year-olds than how women in general are treated.

It was nice to find this Feministe article condemning the notorious Playboy HateF*ck article, but that sort of thing tends to be the exception to the rule. My hope is that pointing out the hypocrisy of screaming over blonde jokes but ignoring liberal misogyny will shame feminists into taking a stand on this behavior.
