Meghan McCain vs. the Twitpic (Part 1)

A friend recently reminded me of the Meghan McCain Controversy that occured when Meghan twittered a pic of herself with her night in, wearing pj pants, a tank top, and holding a book.  The tank top wasn't sheer, but it didn't cover all of her mammery area, and intense uproar followed.

Why?

It's easy.  Women who speak their mind and show off skin are all sluts.  Duh.

Here are the rules, my female friends.  If you want to be taken seriously, make sure you always cover any part of your body that could possibly be considered sexual.  And if you open your shirt or wear a short skirt, for heaven's sake, don't talk politics!  That's subject for "serious folk."  Make like the taliban and COVER IT UP!

I happen to really like Meghan McCain.  Personally I think she's the only sane republican I've ever heard speak in the past few years.  Sure, she's young, her ideas are slightly naive, and she's got some confidence issues that being in a national public presence help highlight but I LIKE her ideas.  She's a fiscal conservative, pro-gay marriage, re-energinzing the GOP by moderacy, bi-partisan, etc.  She's a decent person and she speaks from her heart.  The situation is further upsetting b/c Meghan always presents herself in a conservative manner dress wise.  We aren't talking about a porn star(not that they too shouldn't be respected on their ideas), we are talking about someone who showed off about 50% clevage.  I'm sure her ideas were partly why she was targeted by the pic but that's not an excuse, it only makes it much...much worse.

Regardless of how you feel about Meghan's ideas, how you feel about her, or how you feel about politics, allowing the scandal to be thought of as anything other than mysogonistic is total and utter cowardice and a detriment to the female gender.

Bottom line:  Meghan is a full figured woman.  They are called boobs, stop acting like virgins and get over it.
