Here's the problem with that question: we're different sexes! There, I've said it. It's why Michele Obama is post-feminist. She's WAY past the Utopian notion that there'll never be any racism or sexism in America. She's part of the that's-right-I've-got-boobs crowd. She's both feminine and powerful. She doesn't try to androgynize herself in pants suits or ask for handouts; she asks for opportunities in her sun dress. And she gets them. The "would it happen if he/she were a guy/girl/black/jewish/tall/short/bald/furry?" is 20th century. Time to move on. Now let's apply that for Ms. Palin. Are questions about how she'll handle 5 kids including a new born with a demanding job - even with a stay-at-home spouse - legit? Absolutely. Would they be asked if she were male? Probably not. Why? Because like or not women - at a minimum - are needed for birth that takes 9 -- 12 months out of their lives. And then they usually choose to work part-time or not at all. That's the facts. Therefore, the question is legit and based on facts. So let's get post-feminist and just answer the fucking question. If she thinks she can do it, then say why and attack people for suggesting the question is not legit. If she doesn't then she's just pandering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:267730 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
