"Why Some Women Hate Sarah Palin"

I could answer this question in one sentence:

Some women hate Sarah Palin because she is against abortion in all instances, thinks women should have to pay for their own rape kits and supports anti-woman platforms all while masquerading as a 'feminist.'

Time writer Belinda Luscombe decided to dedicate an entire 700-something article on the subject, claiming that women hate Sarah Palin for three reasons:

1. She's too pretty
2. She's too confident
3. She could embarass us

Is this a joke?

Whether or not this article is serious (I'm too appalled to be convinced that it is) I'm considerably sick of all the talk this election has created around women/sexism/what it means to be a woman. Undoubtedly, Hillary Clinton did as much for women as any one woman in recent history, but the superficial concern over sexism espoused by a party that has been incredibly anti-woman for decades is really just starting to disgust me.
