Quoted: It's probably as revolutionary and groundbreaking as Mozart gets these days. A German-based quartet staged Saudi Arabia's first-ever performance of European classical music in a public venue before a mixed gender audience.
The concert, held at a government-run cultural center, broke many taboos in a country where public music is banned and the sexes are segregated even in lines at fast food outlets.

This sums up some of my feelings pretty well. And, just as an aside, isn't it a little bit strange that we haven't heard anyone refer to Palin as 'angry' yet? Whenever women are in the spotlight getting seriously fired up about anything they are always referred to as angry. Not so with Palin precisely for the reasons this blog states -- she negates any power she does have in order to seem unintimidating and kowtows to a boys-club-approved brand of "feminism" that isn't feminism at all.
1 FaverViewed: 3 TimesQuoted: Why does this particular pitbull in lipstick infuriate — and scare us — so viscerally? Why does her very existence make us feel — and act — so ugly? New York Times columnist Judith Warner calls Palin's nomination a "thoroughgoing humiliation for America’s women," because "Palin’s not intimidating, and makes it clear that she’s subordinate to a great man." Palin, who obviously is incredibly ambitious, masks that ambition behind her PTA placard and "folksy" talk. ... What's infuriating, and perhaps rage-inducing, about Palin, is that she has always embodied that perfectly pleasing female archetype, playing by the boys' game with her big guns and moose-murdering, and that she keeps being rewarded for it.
