There are more than a few women who believe Sarah Palin represents their kind of feminism, and not the single brand proferred by Democrats over the years. Several women I speak to suggest that she represents a tough, savvy leader who is also a feminine woman. They like this combination.

Again, I don't like identity politics. At the same time I understand that people like to vote for people for whom they find an affinity. But suggesting that Palin is the antithesis of feminism is nullifying an alternate definition of feminism, one that more than a few women seem to like.

We debate things like patriotism. If there can be more than one kind of patriotism, surely there can be more than one kind of feminism.
