Re: [Dems2008] The Gender War

I agree that there is a lot of sexism out there, and its directed at
Hillary because she's in the limelight right now. But it would be
easier to evaluate the sexism if Hillary didn't come to the race with
such a history, and all that baggage. Its easy to express rejection of
her by using sexist comments, and much more difficult to be a little
more intelligent and express the underlying distrust that is shared by a
broad cross-section of the population, not just men of whatever social
class.....Carol
