The website Women and Politics has an intriguing article by the author Lauren:
A woman can either be a prude or promiscuous. Too pretty or too masculine. A shrew or a doormat. As women try to tip-toe somewhere in the middle, we find that one small move can send us plunging straight into one of the extremes.
And of course, politics is not free of these dichotomies: Sarah Palin is hot. Hillary is mean. Martha Coakley is a Jezebel.
But lately I’ve noticed a new double standard arising: Women candidates either have too much money or not enough.
