Being the Wrong Type of Woman: Conservative

From The Weekly Standard's article on the mercurial positions of liberals:

"(T)here's the feminist model of womanhood, as cherished a liberal ideal as there is (or was). A woman could--and probably should--do it all: be a wife and mother, hold a job with real responsibilities, and never, ever knuckle under to the rule of males. Pursuing a career in politics while still caring for a family--that's the feminist model in its purest form.

Then Sarah Palin came along. Unlike feminist favorite Hillary Clinton, Palin actually succeeded in politics on her own. She didn't ride into office on her husband's shoulders. And she knocked off a string of powerful male politicians on her way to the Alaska governorship and the Republican vice presidential nomination.

Perfect! Palin has precisely the career profile that liberals are supposed to admire in a woman. Except she's a conservative Republican. Worse, she's pro-life and a serious Christian and pretty too. So rather than lift Palin up as a model for young women to follow, liberals loathe her.

Of course they're on high moral ground in feeling this way. They always are."
