Why do feminists hate Sarah Palin so much?

Q: I mean she is a woman and has achieved so much... she is an example of what women can achieve.

A: Because old school feminists (the ones that scream you down) are a one issue group. Abortion. All abortion. Any old time you want it even if it is coming out of your body abortion. Real world feminists are thinking women who do not fall in lockstep with these old paradigms. We think about whether it makes sense for us, whether it comports with reality and our ethics. We are not militant, one issue, zombies. Sarah is the antithesis of these throw backs. If she wins, they lose. If she shows that a woman can succeed and still be merciful and not be all about her. they lose their impact. She has come out and said point blank that her pro life stance is her personal decision and not something she would impose. Same thing with her religion. I feel the smear job old school feminists have done on this successful in her own right new feminist woman is beyond appalling. It is hard for those older hypocritical women to give up their power. Hence proverbial fistacuffs.
