Palin Slams 'Sexist' Newsweek

Bloggers divided over Runner's World photo

By Nick McMaster| Posted Nov 17, 09 2:04 PM CST|

(Newser) – Sarah Palin criticized Newsweek as “sexist” for using a photo from Runner’s World that shows her bare-legged in fitness gear for its cover. “The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now,” Palin wrote on Facebook. “When it comes to Sarah Palin, this 'news' magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant.” Other takes:

Newsweek has “accomplished being biased and sexist at the same time,” agrees David Brody for the Christian Broadcasting Network. “This cover should be insulting to women politicians. Where's the sexy photo of Mitt Romney?”

But male politicians do get their fair share of revealing coverage, counters Steven Taylor on Poliblogger. Remember all those Barack-in-the-surf shots? Newsweek’s cover is about “selling magazines, rather than some specific manifestation of bias.”
"Republicans, start calling out misogyny and sexism wherever you see it," urge enraged Palin supporters writing on Hillbuzz. And "Americans, please stop buying Newsweek."

In the November 23 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, November 16): How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sarah? She’s Bad News for the GOP - And For Everybody Else Too. (PRNewsFoto/NEWSWEEK)

She put on that "track gear" for Runners World. Why did Newsweek use that photo of all photos available for her? It makes sense in the context of a running magazine. It does not make sense on the cover of Newsweek. I'm not a Palin defender, but in this case I agree it was a sexist move.

i guess i'm saying why did she pose for the picture at all, for any mag, if she doesn't want "that kind" of picture used. i've subscribed to RW for over 10 years, and there are plenty of pictures of non-elites that don't have their legs showing. she could've had them cover her up.

IN RESPONSE:

Nov 17, 09 2:37 PM CST

Stacy, a picture like that is appropriate for a runner's magazine. And I am not against women looking sexy. That is a different thing, however, from a news magazine deciding against picking a photo of her in business attire that she'd normally wear for a public function and instead picking a photo that shows more skin. It's out of context here and obviously done because of the less clothing she is wearing in the photo. Can't a woman, attractive or not, make it in the world and be successful without there having to be a reference to her body? There are sexy women out there of all political persuasions. And I think this is something that needs to be true for all women, liberal or conservative, that not be objectified, that they be allowed to achieve what they want to achieve without constant references to them as a sexual object. A news organization like Newsweek should be above this sort of out of context sexualization of women.

I'll say this once more so hopefully people understand. How is it sexist you ask, because after all she posed for the picture. Well, she posed for the picture for Runner's World magazine. Her wearing the shorts and showing off her fit body makes sense for the context of that magazine. By why in the world would Newsweek swipe that photo to use on its cover if not for sexist reasons? They were more interested in showing her body on the front than anything else. This should be an afront to all women hoping to get places in the world without having to use their sexuality to do it. Newsweek essentially objectified her.

reasonator... it only took me two seconds to go to the online dictionary to find this.. Sexism:1. attitudes or behavior based on traditional stereotypes of sexual roles. 2. discrimination or devaluation based on a person's sex, as in restricted job opportunities; esp., such discrimination directed against women. I again ask.... how is using picture of her in gym clothes sexist? Is she being discriminated against? Is a attitude or behavior based on traditional stereotypes of sexual roles? Wouldn't it be more sexist if the picture was of her barefoot pregnant and cooking dinner?

IN RESPONSE:

reasonator
Nov 17, 09 2:44 PM CST

Myvoice: It reinforces an old stereotype about women. It is sexist because for much of our history women weren't given the opportunity to be self-sufficient or make it in the business or political world. And because of that inequality, some felt forced to get married and rely on a man or use their sexuality to make it in the world. By Newsweek portraying her this way it diminishes a woman's ability to be seen for who she is apart from her sexuality. In other words, it objectifies her.

She plays them up constantly and relies on them and a 'golly ghee' hominess to win people over. I also think people are overlooking the way the American Flag was used AS A PROP in this photo and the tag "How do you solve a problem like Sarah" Isn't it possible that THIS PHOTO sums up the issues many people have with her? Relying on 'patriotic fever', religion and looks to whip the mob into a frantic state. (remember those rallies of hers and the racial, homicidal shouts from the audience?)

Your very comment is an oxymoron Jayster. Whenever a male supporter of Palin speaks of her, the very first thing they say is how attractive she is, not how intelligent she is, and that in itself is sexist. Republicans only rally to the side of attractive women, but the second a least attractive female Republican is attacked they say nothing.

An interesting observation: In the 2008 election a majority of US "white males" and conservatives voted for a FEMALE vice president, while a majority of "women and minorities" voted for a WHITE MALE veep!

In the end the educated prevailed. After 8 years of nothing Obama in his first 11 months was dealt THE WORST POSSIBLE HAND, in yet he's playing his cards properly. Nothing happens overnight, especially when undereducated and corrupt are voting on our nations policies that directly effect our future. Healthcare, Jobs, Legalize Pot. The dumb will become burnout food preparers, while the able bodied folk flourish.

Notice that Newsweek called her a "problem." Are the liberal left-wing white male multi-millionaires afraid that conservative women are going to gain power while liberal white males (such as those in the news media) are going to lose power? Wealthy liberal white males are gross hypocrites. Any liberal white male who earns more than $30,000 annually is a hypocrite. These LWM's should get out of the way and work at low-paying jobs if they are true liberals. They are obstacles to the PC/Feminist/liberal demand for equal collective results and quotas. They should quit their careers so that more women have them. This is affirmative action as it SHOULD be!! Reply

Tho I haven't read the article inside the Newsweek magazine, its instructive that no one else is commenting on "the problem" called Sarah, either. Newsweek's headline is taken from the libretto to "The Sound of Music"; "how do you solve a problem like Maria". I love how this verse bears on the "Palin Problem": When I'm with her I'm confused Out of focus and bemused And I never know exactly where I am Unpredictable as weather She's as flighty as a feather She's a darling! She's a demon! She's a lamb! Come on, folks. Its not about the flag as a prop, or the legs and the running shoes, or even Ms. Palin's exasperation with Newsweek. Its about the PROBLEM: She'd outpester any pest Drive a hornet from its nest She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl She is gentle! She is wild! She's a riddle! She's a child!

I agree with Christian Broadcasting Network that Newsweek has succeeded in being biased and sexist simultaneously. I agree with other Palin supporters on Hillbuzz that we need to call out misogyny and sexism wherever you see it. This is one classic example why I have zero trust in the liberal mainstream media.

That’s some chunk of woman! ¡Qué hembra! I don’t care if I am politically correct or not, but Sarah, baby, I’d vote for you any time. So, she posed for a Sports picture in shorts, so what? Is she honest? Can she be fair and just? Can she lead? Is she compassionate? And finally, would you want her as your President? I would, even if she had posed nude. I don’t believe that it takes anything special to be President, remember Clinton? It does take decision-making, but nothing instantaneously that has not been discussed before, nothing like those of a home plate umpire, now that’s some bang-bang job. You know who else I think should pose? Hillary. I am not been cruel, I think that she’s pretty and I would love to see her thighs. She’s has 17 years on Sarah, but the two are gracious and beautiful as any, one blond, one brunette. With any, it would be the first time that I would listen to my President live. Reply
