THE woman in question became a lawyer after some years as a community organizer, married a corporate lawyer and is the mother of two little girls, ages 9 and 6. Herself the daughter of a white American mother and a black African father in this race-conscious country, she is considered black she served as a state legislator for eight years, and became an inspirational voice for national unity.
Be honest: Do you think this is the biography of someone who could be elected to the United States Senate? After less than one term there, do you believe she could be a viable candidate to head the most powerful nation on earth?
If you answered no to either question, youre not alone. Gender is probably the most restricting force in American life, whether the question is who must be in the kitchen or who could be in the White House. This country is way down the list of countries electing women and, according to one study, it polarizes gender roles more than the average democracy.

Carol Mosely Brown (rat- Illinois) did it. We saw how well that worked out.

There’s a reason women go to the restroom in groups: Not one of them is a leader.

I can almost hear Hillary starting to sing, “SWING LOW SWEET CHARIOT”...

If the good Senator from (when it is convenient) New York goes down to Sen. Obama, the best part will be watching the self-righteous vote-for-the-woman-or-you’re-a-sexist feminists coming to grips with her having lost to a black (in the leftist way of looking at things) man. Seeing the Democratic tribes turn on one another, the victim of their own relentless tribal bean-counting, will be sweet beyond words.

Women are never the front runners. Hillary was the front runner. Therefore: Hillary is not a woman.
I knew it all along!

Always nice to hear from a rank hypocrite like Steinem.
Gee Gloria, how’s that bicycle you rode for a decade doing?

And it has nothing to do with the fact that she's a corrupt, foul tempered, fake who is unwilling to deal with the little people and won't show up for anything other than carefully scripted and crowd-controlled events and has (along with her nominal husband) left a trail of Arkancides of people who have crossed her. Nope, we don't like her because she has ovaries.

To: Bobkk47
How inevitable was this bit of canned bleating? We don't like Hillary so we hate women. We don't want Obama so we hate black people. Hillary is really black so if we don't like her we hate both women
and black people. Good Lord, if octopi were an oppressed class Gloria would be tacking fake tentacles on Hill like a tail on the Democratic donkey.
There's no traction here. There's no tread left because Steinem has been running on it for the last forty years.
