Palin

Recently, in history class we disscussed what women roles were back in the 1600... mostly during the Salem witch hunts. Right now i was curious about what our society thinks of Sarah Palin. This women as an image to our country, representation as the undecided VP of the U.S.A., why more and more i have seen jokes or spoofs of her in a sexually context. Women have to responsibility of taking care of the home and the family. But why is it i realize that alot of people are still afraid of a women in such power. On NPR, there was a Republican commentor on, his opinion about Palin was undecided. But moreover, on NPR, the evangelist VP of the church, a republican dominated church, was up in the air about Palin and was more in support of Obama in the end. A women in her position has put alot of doubt... but why??
