GRITtv: Amanda Marcotte: Olivia Munn, Sarah Palin, & Choice

What's up with all these arguments over feminism these days, anyway? The Daily Show and Gawker blog Jezebel have an argument over its representation of women; meanwhile, Sarah Palin is a feminist! Except when she's not! And the Atlantic has declared The End of Men. What's it all about?

Who better to discuss all this than blogger and author Amanda Marcotte, who joins us in studio to talk about The Daily Show's hiring Olivia Munn, Sarah Palin's fundraising skills (or lack thereof) and the latest battle over reproductive choice, as well as her new book, Get Opinionated: A Progressive's Guide to Finding Your Voice (and Taking a Little Action).

Amanda is an evil woman who wanted 3 innocent men in prison for something they didn't do.

[gomerjones]

Wow, hard-hitting questions for one of the biggest bigots and hypocrites on the web.

Why does Amanda and all the other fem-drones stereotypically look like the conventionally unattractive female gym teacher?

[TheFanwindow]

I like seeing bloggers in real life. I always wonder who is behind the strong blogging voice. She seems really cool!

amanda, you are an idiot. my guess is you've never actually watched the show. im a woman, and i think olivia is not a bimbo. shes just comfortable enough with her body and looks that she can show it off. just because ugly jealous feminists like you arent, doesnt mean that the ones who are comfortable enough with themselves are bimbos. im sure if people could see what you do in the bedroom they'd call you a slut. just because you want to be her doesnt mean you should call names.

I can't believe they called Olivia a bimbo,it's really dumb,feminists are stupid and I'm saying that as a female, Olivia is a very funny women and is very intelligent,if she was a bimbo she wouldn't be getting so succesful.Also who cares about Palin.

Marcotte, Munn and Palin? That's a real trifecta of girl power you've got there...

[seans10]

Yeah it's just stupid mothers who like Palin.

[seans10]
