I do think that Steinem is onto something in that the sexist remarks thrown at Clinton get a lot less play than comparable race-based remarks do/would wrt to Obama.
She loses me by playing oppression olympics - especially when she says she isn't.
I've never been a huge fan of Steinem's. I posted the article because it made me think, even if I didn't necissarily agree with the bulk of it. However, I've been of the opinion, though, that Clinton's gender has been a more polarizing issue than the media lets on, and that much of what's been unacceptible to the public would be less offensive if she had a penis.
