Palin’s Future: Will Media Haters and Party Leaders Let Her Have One?
Overnight I had another thought…Palin’s decision has been described as “erratic” etc….however, what of Sanford and Edwards who each made decisions to abandon their wives and children, figuratively speaking…one with four little kids and one whose wife was fighting cancer. Gosh, I didn’t hear anyone describe these decisions as “erratic”. I am not one to wear my femaleness (!) on my shirtsleeve but can anyone else also see the closet mysogyny here? afterall…we know women can be hysterical and erratic especially when under pressure (like perhaps carrying a downs syndrome child to term is no pressure at all). Certainly, making a decision that one perceives to be in the best interests of the people she serves at the same time that it furthers your individual goals and serves your family has to be “erratic” doesn’t it?
