Why Some Women Hate Sarah Palin

Time Magazine has an interesting article on why some women seem to hate Sarah Palin:

She's too pretty - pretty girls tend to be liked only by other pretty girls.

She's too confident - women have self-esteem issues and other-women's-esteem issues.

She could embarrass the sisterhood - women fear people will think she got the job just because she's a woman.

That translates into some recent poll numbers that Sarah is less popular among women than among men:

GenderNegativePositve
Women45%42%
Men35%53%

I have a simpler explanation. Some women hate Sarah Palin because they are Democrats and she is not.
