Sex, Violence and Hate: the Top 10 Most Disgusting Attacks on Conservative Women
As Women’s History Month begins, a look at how the media treated conservative women in 2009.
By Colleen Raezler Culture and Media Institute March 3, 2010
March is Women’s History Month, in which we acknowledge the accomplishments and contributions of women in history and in society today.
But for a select group of women – conservative women – their accomplishments and contributions are rarely celebrated but often demeaned and mocked in sexist – and crassly sexual – ways.
The Culture & Media Insitute looked back at what the media had to say over the past year about some of today’s most prominent conservative women, including Michelle Malkin, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sarah Palin and Liz Cheney, and compiled a list of the 10 worst attacks on these women who dare to speak out in favor of conservative values.
Much of the criticism was the worst sort of misogyny with a dose of violence and disgusting adolescent sex references thrown in for good measure. The media outlets in question ranged from Playboy magazine to MSNBC to Sirius XM radio and included comments from both men and women.
The message that rang through loud and clear was that perspectives from conservative women were not appreciated or welcomed, and if a woman stepped out of line, she deserved whatever treatment she received.
Here is the top 10:
1. Playboy’s Hate List
2. Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi Uses Graphic Sexual Language to Discredit Michelle Malkin and the Tea Party Movement
3. U.S News and World Report’s Bonnie Erbe Takes Issue with Playboy List – Except for Inclusion of Michelle Malkin
4. Keith Olbermann Compares Michelle Malkin to a ‘Mashed-Up Bag of Meat With Lipstick on it”
5. Comedian Chuck Nice Compares Sarah Palin to Herpes
6. Toronto
7. Sarah Palin = Vice-President Barbie?
8. Rosie O’Donnell ‘Humanized’ Conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck
9. David Letterman’s “Top Ten” List of Sarah Palin Insults
10. Liz Cheney, Daddy’s Little Girl?
