I'm over at Silicon Valley Mom's Blog today.
All this talk about whether or not Sarah Palin can be an effective leader while mothering small children has really rocked me to the core.
"Can we stop judging Palin for being a working mother? Really, the fact that she has children, even young children, has nothing to do with anything. I know that she herself has brought up her working-mother status in numerous speeches. I think that being a working mother is nothing to be ashamed of. I’m glad that she has brought to the surface the juggle that all working parents face each and every day."
Before the feminists try to take away my shiny degree and ban me from the club, I want to make it clear that I am not supporting McCain-Palin. However, I am shocked and appalled that women who have fought so hard against sexism in the workplace have turned around to question whether Palin can handle the job as a working mom. Do I smell hypocrisy?
I fully expect a long list of commentors who do not agree. So come on over and add your two cents.
