I have a problem with that stance too, Cicero. When Palin first hit the news there was something about her hair. I was like "who gives a flying rat's ass about her hair? What's SHE about?"
Turns out I don't like her politics.
But look how they painted Hillary: a cold fish bitch who would just as soon cut your dick off than listen to you. That's sexism too.
I'm sure women in public office are prepared that it's going to happen, but it doesn't make it right. We've come a long way, baby, but we've so far to go.
Is this a good spot to once again remind everyone that women didn't get the vote until 1920, 50 years after the 15th amendment asserted the following:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Women are still scorned, subjugated, and disrespected. We have oh so far to go.
