Sarah Palin Sexism Watch: Schoolgirl action-figure edition


The BBC
has a video about new Sarah Palin action figures that you can get in several “looks”: business suit Palin, a Lara Croft-like superhero Palin, and (my personal fave) Schoolgirl Palin. Fucking seriously?
So Hillary gets a nutcracker and Palin gets a schoolgirl outfit – obviously both of these come from a place of fear of women’s power. With Hillary, just call her a ballbuster; Palin, just sexify her so she’s not a threat but just another hot chick to look at. Either way, blech.
The company’s contact info is here, if you’d like to give them a piece of your mind.
Thanks to Katrina for the link.
