Younger women, who are swayed by fashion, trends, who is popular, and status-power indeed do not like Palin. All the polls confirm this. While men and older women love Palin. It’s easy to see why, it’s not her policies (which are not that different from say, Mitt Romney’s nor her social views, which are the same).

Rather, it is Palin’s personal life. She married early, and had five kids with, an idealized blue collar man. The kind of guy ordinary men could see themselves as, if they were only stronger, more handsome, etc. This is why younger women don’t like Palin, and men do. Why older women (shoved aside for the shiny new Affirmative Action hire, with a fancy Ivy League credential) also love her.

Younger women have been turned off against Palin by the media defining her as a rube, hick, and unfashionable. Uncool. Which is precisely why men and older women love her (the more she is defined this way).
