From a March piece on โMini-Palinsโ:
The Palin Four will put the new model of female politicianโmodestly educated, electorally inexperienced, traditionally religious, beauty-queen types who oppose abortion for all other women unless the woman was raped or will dieโto the ultimate test, the voting booth. If even some of them win, it opens a whole new vision for female political lifeโthe polar opposite of what the women who started modern feminism were thinking of. The irony would be delicious if it werenโt so bitter.
The โmodestly educatedโ channels an infamous Washington Post description of Christian conservatives. I like her honesty though: The feminist movement never represented women. It represented a particular type of woman.
