FYI, ladies: If you don’t hunt moose, you’re not a real woman!

How many women you know have ever been hunting? And how many of them actually shot an animal?

I don’t know about you, but I am not a hunter, nor do I know any female hunters. And I certainly do not support hunting. Does that make me a fake woman?

The latest snub by Vice-Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin is directed at all womenkind.  Mrs. Palin proudly debuted her newest fashion accessory upon her arrival in Allentown, PA. She proudly displayed the phrase “Real Women Hunt Moose” on the front of her canvas bag.

Have a look at the photos from The Huffington Post and let me know what you think!
