(November 17, 2009) Dr J appears on Issues, Etc. to discuss this morning's Barbara Walters/Sarah Palin interview and the ongoing reaction to Sarah Palin herself. She's a very polarizing figure, even though she seems to fit the definition of a modern woman in many ways: mom of a large family, high-profile job with possibilities of promotion. Yet feminists loathe her and conservatives applaud her. Dr J elucidates the feminists' position and the reasons for their reaction to this pro-family politico. |
