Original examples: Hillary Clinton & Nancy Pelosi. Also, the Dixie Chicks recieved death threats while a male musician like Bruce Springstien was left alone.
New examples: A female celebrity Rosie O'Donnell attacked and insulted left and right while a male celebrity Sean Penn pretty much left alone.
Rush Limbaugh uses the term "feminazi" as a catch-all phrase when talking about any empowered woman. He uses it to discribe pretty much any woman who doesn't agree with him.
Why is there a double-standard among the right-wing? Why can a male liberal speak his mind and be pretty much left alone but a female liberal is fair game for any number of personal attacks, threats and libel/slander??
