From Gloria Steinem’s anti-Palin piece in the Los Angeles Times:

And American women, who suffer more because of having two full-time jobs than from any other single injustice, finally have support on a national stage from male leaders who know that women can’t be equal outside the home until men are equal in it. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are campaigning on their belief that men should be, can be and want to be at home for their children.

This could be huge.

Really–could it? Having a ticket with two guys who’ve paid lip-service to stay-at-home dads while never themselves having stayed home holds more promise for the feminist cause than a woman who clearly thinks it the highest privilege to do double-duty as a mother and governor? Gloria Steinem may call working motherhood “suffer(ing),” but Sarah Palin obviously looks on it as a blessing.

Which side looks dated and stiff here: The one with the big colorful family in which baby-duties and work-duties are organically shared by the whole clan or the one seeking to impose pat 1970’s versions of what a liberated family must look like?
