There are clearly a variety of things that drive what borders on hatred for Palin.. One that should not be dismissed is that she is an attractive woman. If she were not attractive there would be much less anger from women on the left. Clearly that's only a part of it, and the biggest issue is that she is a successful woman who dared be successful without adhering to the standard feminist blueprint for being a ‘strong’ woman.

I have to say that as a guy I'm very confused. I've heard women talk about how guys don't like ‘strong’ women, but clearly Palin is one that lots of guys do like. On the other hand, many of the same women who criticize men for not liking ‘strong’ women don't like Palin. This really begs the question of what ‘strong’ means, and what exactly does it mean to be a ‘strong’ woman. Some women that I've discussed this with have pointed to the women on Sex and the City as an example of ‘strong’ self-determining women. I couldn't disagree more. Like I said. I'm confused.

I thik that the women saying that guys don't like a strong woman are confused, because there's the 'strong' woman according to the feminist model, which is, in fact, completely repulsive, and then there is the strong woman in according to the Sarah Palin model, which is not repulsive, and I don't just mean looks, I mean attitude, smarts, drive, confidence and strong self image. Much of which feminists lack in spades otherwise they wouldn't be droning on and on about those qualities endlessly. You don't hear Sarah Palin talking about stuff like that endlessly, she's a walker, not a talker. Feminists are talkers with no real substance.

Ah the age old conundrum known as woman. Don't try and figure it out, it will just make your head hurt. I'd rather try my mental faculties with quantum mechanics and string theory than figure out a woman.
