The blogosphere features some excellent feminist blogs led by young women with sensitive sniffers for sexism. Truthfully, my sexism sniffer isn’t that sensitive. I never really felt like the cards were stacked against me, until after I had kids. Then, the problems became so screamingly obvious that I started reading the The Feminine Mystique
while breast feeding. Since then, I’ve become a lot more aware of imbalances.

Palin refuses to leave the news cycle. Reporters and pundits have followed her up to Alaska to ask her about infighting in the Republican camp.

She’s blaming the press and her fellow Republicans of sexism. My first reaction is that her failure to answer basic questions about politics shouldn’t be blamed on sexism, but I’m not ruling it out either. My buddy, Suze, said that she has been dismayed by t-shirts that say "Palin is a cu*t" and Hillary sure had her difficulties with it this year. There is still some resistance to women leaders.

I think it’s very appropriate now that we finally have an African-American president and many people are cheering a post-race society to talk about sexism. How bad is it?
