Shame on Family Films? (Stupidity advisory)

Brent Bozell  "Baird isn't just an Angry Feminist; she's a hypocrite, too. Last year, her own magazine tried to embarrass Sarah Palin by putting an old photo of her on the cover in running shorts, suggesting this Caribou Barbie wasn't ready for prime time. Did Baird protest? No, she defended the cover since Palin "has been photographed and filmed more than once in aerobic gear."
"Newsweek, heal thyself."  
PC rule: Female characters must always dominate males and make them look like fools; they must be smarter and more confident. Males must always be helpless, confused and clueless.  After every encounter with a female -in which she, of course dominates-there must be an "I showed you" expression on her face.  When male and female children compete in anything, she must be the winner. If not, then there is sexism.
If this inequity is addressed by women's rights activists, they are crusaders; when men make these claims, they are whiners.
