Ah yes, I've finally zapped out of blog-ertia today while I was driving to work this AM and NPR started airing a program on the reactions of women (from various political leanings )to Sarah Palin's choice as the GOP Veep. The prevalant opinion irrespective of political affiliation seems to be that this is a topic that can be discussed legitimately. To me its downright offensive that anyone in this day and age would even bring up this question on the sole basis that Sarah Palin is female. I didn't hear anyone ask the same question about Obama's ability to raise his 2 young daughters or Edwards ability to deal with his wife's cancer while gunning for the top post. To me this reeks of typecasting the female as the nurturer and the male as the bread winner .
Had to vent.
Still fuming
