I really REALLY really hate the implication that a woman cannot handle her family and a career, too, no matter what the career is.

When I got pregnant with my daughter, I was teaching high school and another teacher told me "the principal HATES pregnant teachers. Thinks they should just quit and stay home to play house instead of working." That was in the NINETIES. And he wasn't even that old.

That attitude is still alive and well.

That being said, I think Palin is all about Palin. You CAN have a career and a family, just ask the men. They've been doing it for ages. :eyes:

But in this case, I am hoping she withdraws her name from the ticket citing personal reasons, not because she's a working mom but because she's batshit fucking crazy and doesn't need to be anywhere near any national ticket. Period.
