Question for Republican men(and women) I just heard a statement that the reason men like Palin so much is ?

Question

because she is not trying to act like a man(no man likes to see a woman act like that) That she is not an angry woman, that she is strong and capable, but very much a women. Would you agree with that?

Answer 1

Possibly.  I was honestly just wanting a true conservative....man, woman, black, white...whatever.  I like the pick.  Her legs are a bonus.

Answer 2

That's a good point. Hadn't thought of it that way. Palin's proven herself move than equal to  a man on several occasions, but she's never been an Gloria Steinem "in your face" feminist.

Answer 3

Palin's not an angry woman? She practically called herself a pit bull!

Libraries, state troopers, the slightest questioning from the media... apparently it doesn't take much to make her angry.

Answer 4

Yes, I also agree. Plus, she love's to hunt, fish, like's to eat moose stew and she's hot as h**l. Everyman's dream girl.

Answer 5

Yes, she has a good balance.   She is not come across bitter or angry, but yet strong.  She is very feminine as well.  My dad was less than thrilled to vote for McCain, but now  with Sarah on the ticket, he is happy to vote McCain, when he saw her speak at the convention, he said "what a woman!"

Answer 6

No, I like her because she is a tough woman.  She was the one doing the attacking at the convention.  Also she looks like a hott secretary fantasy I will hope to one day experience.

Answer 7

Flimsy thinking on the part of those men. She IS angry--very much so. Did they not see her acceptance speech? Bitter, sarcastic, and extremely immature. To say nothing of the fact that she is as dishonest as politicians come--and a bimbo to boot.

Answer 8

Pretty much, but more so because she comes across as a true conservative and a person of principle.

Answer 9

You know I have to agree with that statement. She shouts out to her hubby too.

Answer 10

So basically, republicans like her because she's a woman who knows her place...behind a republican man.  so much for equality.

Answer 11

True.  It is a balance she will have to strike.

Answer 12

Republicans are for her because she can fill the demographic voids in their ticket  They aren't any more for women than they are for anyone else making less than a billion a year or so.

Answer 13

not a republican - but i am impressed with palin

its definitely a part of the appeal for me but not all of it.  

Answer 14

Yes, but I am most excited about her maverick attitude, even towards her own.

Answer 15

Amazingly well put.  All woman, with enough strength to show that she means business.

Answer 16

You said she's "not an angry woman."  Are women not allowed to be angry?  Is anger only a male thing?

The reason the worst kind of men like Palin is that she's a right-wing nutcase who will support them in keeping everybody else down.  Palin is no friend to women.

Answer 17

Sure. I don't mind women doing more manly jobs as long as they do not try and act like a man. Be a women that's what you are.

Although I did not like Hilary and she wasn't really manly acting.  

Answer 18

absolutely. she's a real woman. not someone that thinks they have something to prove. she's feminine. she's fired up. oh man. I love women that are feminine and fired up. Go Pitbull w/ lipstick. I love you.

Answer 19

Quite possible..Hilary was ridiculed for wearing pantsuits was she not?

Answer 20

i would have to agree.. I am a Canadian and I have felt that Hilliary did more a disservice to woman's rites by being so masculine. Sarah is feminine but no doubt about she is poised,strong and articulate.

I think she is destined to be the future 1st woman president.  

Answer 21

OMG, look, you're a sexist, because you put "and women" in parenthesis in your title! That means you don't care what the women think and just wanted men to answer!!!!

Answer 22

I know I like her because she is strong, she believes in what she says, she sticks to her own principals, she has the same problems that alot of women do- she doesn't try to hide (or get rid of -meaning abortion) what a lot of people would have considered a problem.  She says what she means, means what she says and does what needs to be done.  I believe she is my favorite politician ever!!  She also speaks with a smile, has a twinkle in her eyes, and can cut Obama like a knife!

Answer 23

I like the fact that she can retain her femininity and have the power to put me in my place at the same time.  

Answer 24

She is an Excellent Example of an American Women & a Great Role Model for young girls!

Answer 25

---"OMG, look, you're a sexist, because you put "and women" in parenthesis in your title! That means you don't care what the women think and just wanted men to answer!!!!"---

I believe she was asking the republican men in general because the question was about the reasons MEN like Palin. Read the d**n question before you start calling someone sexist.  

Answer 26

  I guess they did a poll at 2am at the local bar when any woman will do.

Answer 27

And to think..I thought men just liked her because she wears t-shirts that advertise her b*****s. Well, thanks for correcting me. LOL.

Answer 28

I'm not a Republican man, but I would agree. She is a MILF.

Answer 29

Her demeanor is not awful.  She presents herself as determined and strong, but hides the girlie giggles, and the screaming banshee bit (if she has those qualities at all).  Yes, I do think that helps her and makes her more acceptable to men (at least more acceptable than otherwise).

I do not mean to throw this out as a criticism of Hillary but more as analysis....but she tended to remind alot of men of x-wives and angry mother in laws (especially at particular times).  That hurt her.

Is any of that fair?  Yes and no?  If a man ran about acting particularly feminine he would also not be liked by men very much.  I do not think it is a double standard but rather different standards (but both have positive availability).  Regardless, it is a reality at the present time.

Answer 30

That's what MY husband said, too !!!!   I agree !   I think Hillary is VERY disappointed she was born a WOMAN  !!!!!

Answer 31

Yes, I agree. But she also brings a very rare quality of being one of the "regular folks" in America. People can relate to her life, her integrity, and her down to earth nature.
