Dear Republicans:

Attacking a woman’s experience is not sexist, especially in a presidential election. Suggesting she’s too emotional to do the job – yes, sexist. Suggesting she’s not aggressive enough because she’s a woman- yes, sexist.

Saying her 2+ years as Governor of Alaska, and her time as mayor of a tiny town shows a lack of experience - not sexist.

Just saying the word ‘sexist’ to any criticism of your female candidate is insulting to women who have really been treated to sexist attacks.

And, no, that experience does not come close to the experience of Obama.

Oh, and how ironic you would raise Hillary’s treatment as a reason to go soft on Palin, since you all were the worst offenders.
