and to those lovely feminists:There is also the fact that after 43 male presidents, the prospect of finally having a woman as chief executive is understandably appealing. Yet, what's the advantage of a female president if her foreign policies are still centered on patriarchal notions of militarism and conquest? What would it mean to the women of Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Lebanon and other countries who would suffer as a result of her policies? Did the position of British women improve as a result of the militaristic policies of their first female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher? | Actually, this brings up a different point that no one is mentioning: The fact that a candidate that would be "the first woman president" or "the first woman MP" might give them a vast inferiority complex about appearing "tough enough" to go to war--somebody determined to show themselves to be even more hawkish than the guys. Or the neocons for that matter, in Hillary's case.

Don't they mean the CLINTON'S campaign style? There's a reason why they were the only Democratic administration in 30 years. |

Lest we forget what couldeasily be (and probably has been) dismissed as a harmless nuance, on Oprah Obama used the word "rule" as opposed to lead, govern or direct when referencing his goal for the presidency...
