Not all WOmen are worth looking up to, it's something they have to earn.

When Sarah Palin was first nominated for Vice President on the GOP ticket It upset me. She was obviously trying to fill the space Hilary Clinton hadn't been able to. It bothered me that she didn't seem to understand that JUST because she is a woman, like Clinton, does not at all mean that women will look up to her.

This also works on a smaller scale. My mother seems to think that just because she is my mother, and gave birth to me, and all that jazz, that I should look up to her. In reality I don't even respect her as a woman. She wasted most of her potential, has no interest in any of her four children's lives, has no job, has not looked for a job, and revolves her entire life around a deadbeat boyfriend. What is there to look up to?

I can't understand why some women, and also people in general, feel entitled to be looked up to. You have to earn respect from others, you have to prove you're worth looking up to. I bet if i asked my mother how she would feel if I began revolving my life around a guy she would be furious. So why does she expect me to look up to her?
