McKay, Hollie. "Bill Maher Calls Sarah Paline a Female Vulgarism, NOW Stays Mum." FoxNews.com. FoxNews.com, 22 March 2011. Web. 29 Mar 2011. <http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2011/03/22/maher-calls-sarah-palin-female-vulgarism-stays-mum/>.
If this article is not the splitting image of gender bias and sexism, I do not know what is then. Everyone makes fun of Sarah Palin. She is portrayed as not being very knowledgeable in her own realm of politics, dim-witted and so on. Tina Fey does a great impression of her on Saturday Night Live. The woman very well might have some great aspects and views that are worth hearing, but we never will know really because of our image of her and how the media portrays her. Bill Maher just takes it to the next level by name calling, that is just disrespectful to all women and it doesn't matter what political party you're in either. I mean television itself is really just amazing anymore with what they can get away with by either saying something offensive or implying it. There a lot more women than there were a few years ago in administrative positions or in politics, but the average percentage is still low. And thinking from men like Bill Maher who make just feel intimidated by women with power hurt the progress and success of women.
