Is it sexist to say that if a woman cannot run her own home that she has no business being put in a position ?

Question

where she may possibly have to run a country? Do republicans think that it is perfectly acceptable for minor children to get pregnant?

Answer 1

Just about as acceptable as the leftist media glamorized 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears getting knocked up.

Answer 2

Yes it is very sexist. I for one am an Obama supporter, however who says Palin can't run her own household? It's all assumptions just because her almost 18yr old daughter got pregnant. This still doesn't mean she can't run our country. Why don't you stop asking these stupid questions and start googling about what is happening in the world and then watch the debates and see what type of woman Palin is from there, but don't judge her because she has a pregnant daughter.

So spend more time watching tv about our world then spending all this time asking stupid questions about a 17yr old being pregnant and thinking her mother can't run our country.  

Answer 3

Very!  Why do you never hear this argument, when discussing men??

It's perfectly okay for Biden's son to be on his way to prison - as long as he doesn't get pregnant along the way!

Answer 4

if every mother could keep complete control of their 17 year old daughter, dream on.

i am in the UK. They have been upfront,her daughter is an adult, all families have problems. Would you be asking the same question if it

was the father running for election?This does not make her unfit.

However its her politics and those of the republicans that bother most

British, I think you will find most of us backing Obama,.

If you had ever seen the jokes and mockery over the years on the

TV here of George Bush, you would be embarrassed.

Come on US time for a change. Get back your respect.

Answer 5

TO everyone to stop these insane questions on here We all need to stop answering their Stupid hateful nasty questions. This has got to stop. Its really that simple just do not answer questions you know that are hateful or towards Mc Cain /Palin or Obama / Biden. If you agree pass it along. This site is turning into the daily kos

Answer 6

Very true. I think that if anyone is going to vote republican, they better be looking at her because the old man will probably kick the bucket soon.

Answer 7

Yes it probably is.  Look at JFK he didn't do a very good job of running his home, he was busy running it up every other woman he could get his hands on.   Nobody claimed he couldn't do his job.  Same with President Clinton.   He stuck his up some fat chick while married with a young daughter and in office.   People said that was his private life and didn't necessarily mean he couldn't do the job of President.  Now you have a woman, who's teenage daughter is pregnant, and everyone assumes that because her daughter got pregnant that somehow effects her ability to do the job of Vice President.   Doesn't really fly.

And no of course it isn't acceptable but c**p happens.  People make mistakes.   Life goes on.  What would you have her do?  Disown her child?  Stop her life entirely because he 17 year old made a mistake?   Teenagers f#ck up.   You Democrats are supposed to be the "acceptance" party and you are trashing a 17 year old girl.   Republicans are saying "yeah it sucks but support the kid anyway it's ultimately better for the child".  Her parents are doing the right thing by providing support.   I mean you guys can continue to try and bring down a 17year old but it's not at all mature.   Let the girl alone, let her family deal with her pregnancy, and move on to real issues.    

Answer 8

"Do republicans think that it is perfectly acceptable for minor children to get pregnant?"

It was OK with Obamas grandmother ( I guess a democrat), when her daughter got pregnant at 17.......

"Is it sexist to say that if a woman cannot run her own home that she has no business being put in a position where she may possibly have to run a country?"

Yes it is.

Undecided - Independent

Answer 9

Yes, it is sexist and unfare

Answer 10

I'd be surprised if Democrats said that a woman should be stuck at home and not pursue a career. Yes it's sexist. They obviously like to have a lot of babies in the Palin family and at least they believe in marriage.  

Answer 11

Duh, women can do whatever men can do

Answer 12

you bet ye.

Answer 13

Mothers can't be with their daughters 24/7 and children have a habit of doing stupid things at any age.  So what is the big deal as long as everything is taken care of...

Answer 14

Is it racist to say a black man cannot run the country? About as dumb a question as yours.

That said...Obama sucks.

McCain 08

Answer 15

Sexist, but it is how it is in America. Her ambitions far exceeded her ability to help her kids in their time of need. Instead of spending time at home even after her 17 year old gets knocked-up, she's still following her ambition. It's a blancing act for women, and it should be for men. We should always put our families first, and our jobs 2nd. This is why I took a job where I can have time to spend with my family, even though I have as much education as any lawyer for this job. I chose family over money.

Answer 16

Get a clue lady!  Why are you bashing her parenting skills?  Do you live there?  Do you know their situation personally?  Do you have kids and if the answer is yes, did they ever make a mistake?  Are they teenagers and are they perfect angels?  Before you are quick to judge you have to look at all the angles of the situation.  You cannot say that she has no right to run the country because of what her 17 (almost an adult) teenage daughter did.  Teen pregnancy's are not uncommon these days...and that is not an indicator on how well the parent's raised their child.  If you have kids or ever going to have them...they better never make a mistake...because in your world is is uncommon for kids to do such a thing...and if they do, I hope someone is taunting you until the day you die on how you must be a bad mom and is unable to control your kids.  By the way, I am a democrat and I am sick that people on my side are lowering themselves to these petty levels of bashing the other side.  Grow up and again get a clue.
