“Unlike some supposed feminists, I don’t think that debate is unhealthy or that there is a litmus test that begins or ends with abortion or supporting female politicians to the exclusion of feminist male politicians. Role models are good, and Sarah Palin, like it or not, is a role model for a lot of little girls being raised in conservative Christian households. One day, those girls will be women voters — conservative and likely otherwise — and if they don’t dismiss female politicians out of hand as unqualified nut-cracking lesbian-ish harpies who should have stayed home and given more blow jobs to keep their husbands from straying, all because of Sarah Palin, that’s a net positive.”
