Finley and I both had listened to CNN’s Larry King Live spend an hour talking about Palin’s teenage daughter.  We’ve watched ABC, CBS, NBC, and the BBC all talk about how a woman who has 5 kids shouldn’t be a VP because she should be raising those kids and being a good parent.  CNN then puts out a question and calls it an “ireport” asking the question “Double Standard?”.

Freaking duh? Is that the best you can do to subside the out-rage of women and men who see what the media is doing?

Let’s look at what they are really saying.  They are basically saying that women can’t be the bread-winner in the household.  They are saying that Men are not fit to raise 5 kids on their own.  To take it a bit further, they even applaud a single mom who raised her kid and put him through school, worked 18 hour days, didn’t see him, but some how she is better than a woman who is married and works and takes an executive position who might not see her kids as much.

In a new world of people who take offense at every little thing, Men should be offended.  They should feel slighted, that aparently they can’t take care of the kids.
