I can understand how that would piss you off. I'm not voting for Hillary, I'm going for Obama. But I think you should at least make an attempt to understand where women are coming from.

Over half of third graders now believe that a woman CAN'T be president. Society is still sexist in alarming ways, but ways that are hidden. Women grow up with FEW, if ANY, intellectual role models. Sure, there's Madame Curie and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, but no one well known and in the public eye. Many women see Hillary as their hero. She has consistently campaigned on issues that WOMEN care about, like healthcare, education, ABORTION (she's uncompromising on this), women's rights, and of course, pant suits in a variety of colors.

Not only do women actually follow her policies very closely, but they look up to her, and all women, who represent us. Currently, women make up only 11% of elected representation. We are DRAMATICALLY underrepresented. Just once it would be nice to see an abortion bill signed by a woman instead of a man. It might be nice to feel like women weren't being "allowed" rights to Plan B or family planning services by men.

Can you understand the attachment women have to these issues, and to seeing a strong woman president? Imagine if you lived in a society where for over 200 years only women were elected presidents and for a loooooong time kept men in the home without careers or a social life with a passel of squalling babies. Would you want to vote for a man?




I can definitely understand this. I actually see some of my own latent sexism come out when I find myself disliking Hillary.

I think it was actually more of an ethnic victory for Hillary in California, more than a gender issue, if the talking heads on CNN are to be believed.

I recommend Obama.

He wasn't my initial choice, but, hey, he's not too conservative, he's not an extremist, he'll get us the fuck out of the war, he truly wants some change and he's open-minded.

And of course, he stands a chance.

He's got my vote this Saturday in the Washington State Caucus.
