You're definitely not alone. Bill Maher being a sexist asshole is nothing new.
One of the things that annoyed me most about the campaign was that I kept hearing people ask "Who will take care of her children if she's elected?" re: Sarah Palin. I just kind of stared. I guess her husband is somehow incapable of caring for children. How bizarre.
(I'll be honest, though: the Republicans suddenly giving a fuck about sexism the second Sarah Palin showed up pissed me off way more than liberal sexism, even though that pisses me off too. It's just the utter gall I find teeth-gnashingly appalling. What's that, you want to be able to comment about sexism? STOP PERPETUATING IT FIRST, ASSHOLES.)
