Is this a fair comparison? I've been hearing a number of attacks on Palin that are only made because she is a woman...things like she can't take care of her kids if she is a VP, and she shouldn't be running with young children, and the mocking comment that "religious women should expect to be subservient to their husbands". All the while, Palin hasn't yet played the victim card (she doesn't have to with everyone else throwing it around for her). I don't remember Clinton's criticisms that caused her to claim victim. Were they equally as gender-focused?
