Sarah Palin, the neo-feminist, who says "quit whining."

American Princess loves Sarah Palin. She's looking at this video clip, where Sarah Palin deals with the question of whether Hillary Clinton was subjected to sexism and what she should have done about it:

Now, I understand that some feminists will say: That's exactly what sexists want you to believe. You can't talk about sexism. How convenient for them. They'd love it if any criticism of them is heard as whining from you, making you look bad and weak.

And that is terribly important. But the candidate doesn't need to be the one who complains. Others will do it for her, and they can find sharp ways to do it that don't sound like mere whining. The candidate should set a strong example.

Speaking of strength, I love the mental strength Sarah Palin displays in this clip, as she agrees that Hillary Clinton was treated differently and moves on to the question of what's the best way to deal with this problem once it is recognized. She subtly and distinctively leaps ahead of Hillary.
