Re: "tacit approval, I assume...." [commenting about how... It's so true. Look how men, and women (who are jealous of her good looks and sexuality) are treating Sarah Palin. We both agreed that men......not all mind you, but some......can be ignorant sexists.] I wouldn't say it was quite 'tacit approval'. I have no doubt that sexism exists... and misogyny, etc. (But I would certainly never say: "men just cannot stand women with opinions", IMO that is far too much of an over-generalization. In fact, I believe that extreme sexist views such as that are very much in the minority --- in our society, at least.) Not sure that 'Sarah Palin' would make a very good case study for it either. (You know... at least sometimes a 'cigar is just a cigar', and criticism for being unprepared/insufficiently experienced/under-educated or just on the 'wrong side' of lots of issues from the majority of the public is just that... an observation. Without any sexist undertones required. :-)
