Jessica Valenti describes how Palin is trying to have it both ways when it comes to gender:
In her widely watched Oprah appearance, for example, Palin said that she resented people questioning her ability to serve as vice-president while being a mother to five children something a man would never be asked. But Palin also complained that in her interview with Couric, she thought she would be speaking to the reporter "working mom [to] working mom" and that she was annoyed with "her badgering and questions". In other words, Palin thought that because Couric was a woman, she wouldn't take her job as a journalist seriously. Palin expected a puff piece instead of pesky questions about economics, abortion and Palin's policies you know, things a "working mom" couldn't possibly be bothered with.
If one started a list of things that Palin wants both ways, it would exceed the list of her 34 documented odd lies.
