Voluntary Victim?

Sarah Palin is claiming that the current cover of Newsweek is sexist.

This is the picture on the cover:

Can you be a voluntary victim of sexism? Sarah Palin posed for this photo willingly. The sexism charge seems to be one of context, where this photo was for Runner’s World magazine and that context of that photo was about health and fitness.

Really?

Then why is the American flag drapped so disrespectfully over a chair like a used towel? (Why does Sarah Palin hate America?) Why does the photo contain the Gold Blue Star Mother flag, indicating that Palin has a child serving overseas? The photo sure seems to have a lot more context in it than just health and fitness, no? There seems to be themes of attempted patriotism (the presence of the American flag would indicate that, but since the flag is treated SO disrespectfully any attempt to convey patriotism fails miserably) and military service.
