Sarah Palin stood during her vice presidential debate. Why do the guys get to sit?

It’s hard not to notice that for the last 20 years — 20 years! — every vice presidential debate has taken place with the candidates sitting in chairs except for one: the one with the woman!

My mom brought this to everyone’s attention in a Facebook post noting how easy the guys get it while she had to stand for 90 minutes in heels:

This is something the liberal media is usually crying sexism over, but my mom is a Republican so she doesn’t get the same treatment.

However, as The Blaze pointed out, The Huffington Post almost complimented her, saying she made “a pretty good observation.” Yeah, thanks for the effort. And the even worse Jezebel delighted themselves with amazement that, wow, Sarah Palin is “not always wrong.” Gee, thanks!

I think my mom made an excellent point. And by the way, she’s really not complaining. She’s just that strong! Take that, fellas!
