Is Sarah Palin a Feminist?

LA Times (Op-Ed Column): Sarah Palin: Feminist, by Meghan Daum:

It may not be Gloria Steinem's feminism, but shouldn't there be room for everyone in the movement?

After struggling with its definition and connotations, Sarah Palin has apparently made peace with the "F-word." She freely used it in a May 14 speech for the Susan B. Anthony List, a political action committee for antiabortion female congressional candidates. And given Palin's extraordinary influence in certain circles, you can bet untold numbers of women who might once have never considered it will now be dropping the F-bomb with alacrity.

The word in question, of course, is "feminist." It may be the most polarizing label on the sociopolitical stage (it makes "environmentalist" or even "gay-rights advocate" seem downright banal), but Palin seems to have stopped dancing around it and finally claimed it as her partner. . . .
