Re: Sarah Palin?
Yes, but men have not just given birth. Kind of a hugely physical thing ... Like I said, I don't think she's a hideous being b/c of it, I just have trouble comprehending it. Add to the idea the stresses (and medical concerns) of him being a special needs baby, I'd honestly question a dad who stepped back into their work-life that quickly, too.
I'm sure you're right though, Kris. If she'd taken weeks to recouperate, that would have been seen as weakness, and justification for some that women aren't capable of performing at the same level as a man.
It's just that men DON'T give birth - so it's not something that can really be "hey - if a man does it" kind of comparison.
And clearly, I'm not speaking for an entire party. I'm sharing my personal opinion.

Only she and her husband should make the decision when for her to go back to work. We shouldn't be concerned. If she was a guy it would be a non-issue. Hopefully the party of change and understanding won't try to judge a career woman.
