I've been behind Obama for a while but as long as we get the Republicans out of office, who fucking cares? I don't much like Hillary, but it's because I think she's scary and eats babies, not because she's a woman
i really dont know what to think of the race this year it bothers me that there are suck slim pickings for a presadential election but i agree with jamila
Those screaming the loudest seem to be the sexists, or at least let the sexism get the better of them. It's like this campaign has given people the little bit of permission that they think they need to not be careful about what they say and just let the insult fly.
I don' t think that we need a feminist movement again, in the context of the 1970's movement. But, constant vigilance is neccessary so that we can have another couple of generations of improvement.
Then again, I'm much less worried about the obvious assholes than I am about the two faced "nice" people who think that they are really treating the opposite gender equally. The subtle stuff is more difficult to root out.
Unfortunately, there is alot of resentment left over from Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign, in which Hillary started out with a very strong professional career woman image, so middle america felt threatened (as if she was putting down stay at home mothers or something,when she wasn't). Political grudges last a long time and lots of people were waiting to just bash her on a grand scale.
She'll be around for a long time, so I wouldn't worry about the nay sayers. There is always someone trying to knock you off of the top.
