That is an interesting bit of introspection.

Just the beginning. Sarah is going to attract more women than even McCain ever dreamed. The voting both is private, women compose over 50% of America....you do the math.

“wait, she has four other kids TOO?”

One’s in the Army — how much time does Sarah have to spend picking up after him?

Its hurting the Democrats big time... they just don't know much yet.

I can’t get over how many liberal women can’t stand her. One told me she has not been able to SLEEP since Sarah was chosen. And they start to go on about how she should be with her baby, and that women are just different.

What shuts them up is to say, “Then what about the gay men who have babies?”

Int'resting and nice of her.

I have 4 kids, one with special needs, and work out of the house. I have had a few people ask me how I do it all, and I just DO what needs to get done. I am much lazier, though... For instance, I would never want to deal with endless hockey practice. Yikes. My house is also never going to appear in House Beautiful. I need my down time.

However, I have worked with a few women who run circles around me. These really are Superwomen- they are smart, driven, generous, and full of energy. I remember talking to one of them and finding out she never sat down. Ever. Even when home, she didn't relax. I have always been in awe of them, and can truly say that there is something special about that type of woman. As far as I can tell, Governor Palin falls into that category.

If some child has his shirt on inside out, or has grimy fingernails, do I ever secretly tsk tsk Dad? Nope.

No, she still doesn't get it. Men and women are different: They have different priorities, and they bring different things to the table when it comes to raising kids. This is why children need a mom and a dad.

She doesn't blame the dad when she sees the shirt inside out or the dirty fingernails because, subconsciously, she knows that these are not dad priorities. The kid isn't harmed by the shirt being inside out, and the average dad wouldn't even notice such a thing. The only harm is to the mom's ego.

The women on average are quite literally cleaning up the messes, even if they are working just as much as the man.

Can someone call me when they find one between 25-32 who actually does this and doesn't just complain like they learned to on some crappy 90's sitcom? I don't ask for someone to clean up messes, I merely ask for some help instead of pathetic helplessness when there are messes to be cleaned up.

This is rather amazing. Good for her. A true apology.

....now the interesting part would be the part Two of this authors perspective about how her sisterhood treats her after her apology.

This is a pretty good article. Really hits home for me, as a Gen-X, mostly stay-at-home mother of 4 children, but who also works for pay 19 hours “at the office” and 5 hours at home.

She’s right on target and I’m glad she’s apologizing. Feminists are all incredibly stupid and old-fashioned. We are in a post-feminist era now.

Good for the author! She shows some integrity in admitting she was wrong.

Wait just a second. I was alive and my eyes were open during the JFK presidency. The press was agog over Caroline and John John, reporting each and every visit they made to the oval office. Dad always found time to entertain them, and even have them photographed.

To a democrat an asset can be described as anything that would be a liability to a republican.

Don’t kid yourself. They’re trying to redeem themselves simply so they can attack. They aren’t objective and they’ll never be objective.

Yeah I never realized McCain had 7 kids, I thought maybe 3 or 4. I think a lot of women are going to come to this conclusion and men too.

if Sarah were a leftist woman they’d never have said diddly

it’s not just because she’s a woman

it’s because she’s a conservative woman
