Women and Politics
So I was thinking (uh oh), why is one of the leading criticisms posed by Democrats to Sarah Palin indirectly the fact that she’s a woman? Heck, even the public questions what’s going to happen to her family if she becomes Vice President. According to the latest polls, more men have been turned to vote for the Republican ticket than women. I think it’s more than just a coincidence.
I’m just going out on a limb here, but I’m assuming that most of the males who showed up in the poll updates were probably single and lonely. Hence, they appreciate a relatively attractive womanfolk in power. (Yes, “appreciate” is a euphemism.) Similarly, as stated in some credible biology book published sometime by someone, female Homo sapiens frown upon any other female trying to be “better” than they are. Yes, men are like this too, but everyone already knows that. A jealous female? *Gasp*. Dare I say it… they exist!
Really, how biased is it to accuse Palin is jeopardizing her family life by enlisting herself in such an important political role? Millions of families have to endure even worse. At least her children have two parents. At least they’re relatively well off. And if things were really going to take a turn for the worse, they would have already happened! She has already been a mayor and governor, after all. Now don’t get me wrong, not all females are capable of handling this role. Case in point: Hillary Clinton. I cannot even begin to express my relief that she lost to Obama. The last thing we need is another Clinton in the White House, but I won’t go into detail since I’ll need another post to rant about how much I dislike her.
Anyways, Palin is far different. She actually has a record to support what she says. Females should aspire to emulate her straight-forward nature, sound control of expenses, and most importantly, her mad basketball skills. Many have said that the United States isn’t ready for a woman President. But hey, how about a Vice-President? Any takers out there? I sure am.
