The important thing is that those days are now gone. The question now is not to dwell on those past things but how do we move forward. Palin is clearly pandering by looking backward at Title IX with rosy glasses, but she’s in this to WIN. I can appreciate that.
Ah, I see. The feminist interpretation is that only a man wins a hollow victory if he gains the world at the price of his own soul. Women get a pass.
