Palin the Feminist?

I have to say that I have a hard time believing Governor Palin to be a feminist in the traditional sense. In fact, she seems rather anti-feminist unless her own gains are at stake. Here is the definition of what a feminist according to Wiki (I know, I know, it's not all encompassing): "Feminism is a discourse that involves various movements, theories, and philosophies which are concerned with the issue of gender difference, advocate equality for women, and campaign for women's rights and interests." Has Palin really been for women's rights? Sure she represents a new face for women in politics, but, in my mind, she was placed on the ticket as a token rather than any kind of substantive female leader. Honestly, what else does she bring to the table aside from her appeal to a base crowd and some women. She is staunchly against abortion and is against equal pay for women in the work place just to name a couple. Is that really helping women? In this article below, I would have to disagree with the author's premise of Palin being some breath of fresh air to the feminist cause. If anything, it's being damaged by her. Sadly, some women will vote for her (not McCain) based on anatomy.
