Is Women's Lib A Blessing Or A Curse?

Is it just me, thinking that Mrs. Sarah Palin should stay home and help raise her family? Here we have this woman with not just one child but five children one with special needs and one that is a pregnant teenager. I have heard people say that it's sexist to tell her to stay home and help raise her family and not her male counterparts.

First of all, there is nothing sexist with that statement. Reality is more work usually is put on the woman. She works eight or more hours a day then to come home to be mom, and wife, friend, and confidant etc. etc. I do not have a problem with Mrs. Palin if she had one or two children but five and one with special needs and one that is pregnant.

When is she going to have time to answer that emergency phone call at three o’clock in the morning? She brags about having her son Trig and going back to work in three days. That’s nothing to brag about. There is only twenty four hours in a day; half that time is working, so when and where is her time for her family? Mrs. Palin speaks about family values but is she living what she preaches?

When you get married and decide to have a large family, priorities have to change. There are sacrifices somewhere. It’s pretty clear which part she has sacrificed. You and I can not expect Mrs. Palin to be effective at her home and at work especially as a Vice President and be successful. I hear people comparing Mrs. Palin to Mrs. Hillary Clinton, am I missing something here? There is no comparison not in the least. Well, besides that they are both females that’s about it. So I ask the question, is women’s lib a blessing or a curse? In this situation, it is clear to me that women’s lib seems to be a curse.
