But it's not the flavor of sexism that she thinks; rather, it's pro-female sexism exercised by women themselves that gives Palin the lipstick pass. Women like Seymour may rage about it, but the Republican king-makers were right that choosing a woman would attract many women to McCain's ticket that otherwise wouldn't be there.<BR/><BR/>Seymour's sour grapes are because Palin is the wrong type of woman...i.e. not obviously politically liberal who (gasp) doesn't believe in murdering babies for personal convenience. <BR/><BR/><I>"It has my dad's toes curled to think that I may not vote for McCain/Palin."</I><BR/><BR/>I've been under a lot of pressure as well to vote for McCain as the lesser of two evils. And Palin is a big reason for it. The base isn't excited about McCain, but Palin...she seems to rally social cons in a big way that I don't quite seem to be able to grok. Particularly since she's far from the complementarian housewife that social cons used to say they idealized. Other than her pro-life views, I can find little difference between Palin and a garden-variety American feminist.Elusive Wapitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825547465295622621noreply@blogger.com
