What America has painfully learned since former Alaska governor Sarah Palin was first announced as John McCain's running mate in 2008 is that it is completely acceptable for media members to mercilessly attack a woman in print or on television and radio if she is a conservative.
No, Palin was criticized because she was/is ignorant – it had nothing to do with gender.
In reality, not only is it condoned, it's applauded.
You can even win awards for doing so - just ask Katie Couric.
Couric asked questions appropriate for any VP candidate, particularly McCain’s running mate. The interview was a disaster for Palin because she is ignorant and couldn’t answer the questions.
.....Demonstrating the breadth & depth required....for a pageant-contestant.
