"Sweetiegate" and taffy-like feminism

Nice report about the media's response to Obama's use of "sweetie" in dismissing a female reporter's question (and dismissively addressing various women at campaign events). From the article:
"I don’t think Sweetiegate matters so much for what it says about Barack Obama, whose use of this came precisely as a dismissal to the WXYZ reporter. It says much more about feminist activists and their remarkable flexibility when presuming to know the interior dialogue of the minds of men."
Be sure and watch the SNL sketch linked in the article.
