I fervently hope that it's not true that Palin is the template for the new female politician. I hate to think that that being vapid and pernicious is the new ideal to which women must aspire if they want to make a place for themselves in politics. Palin embodies the "feminine = ignorant" stereotype that many of us have been fighting against for years.
gerimay You are so right. I don't want women to be ignorant girls, like they were back years ago. As you said so well "Palin embodies the "feminine = ignorant" stereotype that many of us have been fighting against for years".
It's not surprising that there's yet another exaggeration on her resume. It amazes me how many people thought she was a good idea to begin with, and I am baffled at how many people continue to cling to the idea that she has any competence in anything.
