Women in Politics

Michelle Bachman announced last night that she will run for President of the U.S. 2012. The response from media does not seem to be in her favor. They are calling her a Sarah Palin stand in. Why do you think the media is so quick to undermine women in politics. This is an article in which they call her a "drama queen." When do they refer to men as "drama kings?" On Morning Joe this morning, they called Sarah Palin a "star, and TV likes stars. As long as they continue to, she will continue to get those ratings." Unfortunately I think women will always be stereotyped in politics, because men regardless continue to see us as "stars" and "drama queens." Either something pretty & shiny to look at or causing problems. Not effectively running our country.
