Women who don’t like Palin and can’t articulate why are jealous of her.
Many women have been emotionally damaged by succumbing to the liberal propoganda that touts a path to fulfillment for modern women that is inevitably paved with promiscuity, abortion, delayed or no childbearing, spinsterhood or settling for an adulterous husband like Bill Clinton. Even GOP women who managed to stay married and have families had to stay in the background, without careers, tending to their often-disappointing kids. Then along comes Sarah, who is radiantly happy and has it all, without having compromised as they did. They can’t bring themselves to support her and are left to snipe at her intellect, but Sarah still won’t retreat. I love it!

All that doesn't apply to my mother or my wife unless you are implying that I fill the “often disappointing child...(Ok I didn't get the MD but I have a PhD in an incomprehensible technical subject)” and I haven't been adulterous, unless I do it sleepwalking or have a hidden personality!. Now some of that applies to my GOP female friend, not married (Never understood that, she is attractive, career oriented she should be an ardent feminist liberal but she isn't! Tells my wife she never dated anyone she thought was worth marrying!)

In the anti-Palin GOP women I run across, those sweeping generalizations don't seem to be prevalent. I just don't understand it. Women do view other women differently then then men view women and this is not necessarily sexually. For example women dress as much for other women probably more so then they do for men. Its clearly a competitive thing. I have long philosophical discussions with my daughter about this. Men are for the most part are just happy to have clothes on their back, dress for either comfort or for the situation like work. (Don't even bring up color coordination my wife, mother and daughter are always amazed that I can really only distinguish reliably the 3 primary colors. They say I am not color blind but color unconscious!) I am not saying this why there is an undercurrent of anti-Palinism in GOP women, but its an observation of a feature of the different worldviews men and women have.
