For too long since the women's rights movement has our society decided that "women's rights" only means the freedom to leave the household and join the workforce as equals. True freedom for women is our right to decide whether to work or stay at home -- or accomplish both.
Why should women idealize the strength in Hillary Clinton but be shunned for respecting Sarah Palin's pro-life stance? Can anyone opposed to Sarah Palin really explain why they dislike her beyond "she's too pretty"? Is it because she thinks she can see Russia from her home state of Alaska? (Never mind that it wasn't Palin who made that ridiculous statement -- it was the writers of SNL personified by Tina Fey.) What validity is there behind the media's dislike of Michelle Bachmann?
With all of those blatant biases in mind, it is very refreshing and encouraging to see a positive spin on conservative women in ELLE fashion magazine.
