Virus, detected.
October 4th, 2008 10:06 am by Kelly GarbatoLast week, after receiving the umpteenth “Obama is a secret Muslim/chain smoker/Communist/reverse racist/serial liar/anti-Christ” from my father – all of which are easily debunked via Snopes, which he claims to do before forwarding to all – I asked him not-so-nicely to please stop with the racist/sexist/homophobic emails already; and, while we’re at it, please to stop sending me anything even remotely political, as we clearly have radically different views, and I’m not even planning to vote Obama anywho, as he’s not progressive enough for my hippie socialist ass.
A few days later, this arrived in my inbox.

If you get an e-mail with ‘Nude Photos of Sarah Palin’ in the subject line, do not open it. It might contain a virus.
If you get an e-mail with ‘Nude Photos of Hillary Clinton,’ do not open it.
It might contain nude photos of Hillary Clinton.
You know, the man has two daughters. I wonder if the thought even crosses his mind that this sort of misogynist garbage – i.e., that a woman’s worth lies solely in her fuckability – applies to us just as much as it does public figures such as Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.
Oh, but wait, it’s just Hillary Clinton he has a problem with; I’m sure he doesn’t hate all women. And clearly this was meant as a compliment to the “lovely” Mrs. Palin; in fact, she should be flattered!
Not.

haha… condolences… so obviously your dad and my dad should hang out… I once had this “debate” with my father over Vagina Monologues which somehow (don’t ask me how) disintegrated into him asking me why I would want to make myself so obviously unattractive (recent cleansing close to the scalp
haircut) and didn’t I care at all about my partner? Hmmm…. where do I start…. -_-

argh… and I couldn’t even listen to reports on the campaign when Hillary was running because I couldn’t take any more analysis of her “shrillness” or “cackling” I mean really… these are actual news channels doing these stories… COME ON!
