Open Letter to Hillary
Dear Hillary - I say this to you almost daily, but since it's normally to you on the TV screen, I thought I should find a way of saying it where you...

It remains an enduring legacy of the conservative media machine -- and their own past mistakes -- that a couple so admired by the public has such awful relations with the Fourth Estate.

I have and will continue to maintain that I've gotten much more out of this process than Obama. Yet I have at times felt driven to lash out in ways that expose the limits of my own ability to communicate.

Obama would do well to swallow the bitter pill and take Clinton on as running mate. And send Bill to be ambassador to anywhere.

These videos are really quite stunning. Rep. Dave Reichert's jokes about Hillary Clinton dying are just the latest in a career of using sexist slurs and innuendo to deny women full equality.
Beth Arnold | Posted 06.02.2008 | Politics
Sexism doesn't explain why Hillary lost and neither does the false accusation that the media preferred Obama as the Hillary-ites endlessly drone.

The most famous and infamous TV pundits aren't reserving their 'looks are everything' moments to talk of Hillary's cleavage or wrinkles. There are no limits. We are all fair game.

In the year of the Clinton candidacy, asking Democrats to vote for a vice presidential candidate who snickered about calling the Naval Academy "a horny woman's dream" is just rubbing salt in the wounds.

Women: We have got to stop this prolonged, gender-driven tantrum. Shrieking "I wanna woman in the White House. Now! Or else!" solves nothing. And it could cost us more than the election.

The Hillary candidacy is safely presumed dead. Long live Hillary! And her eulogy? It's mostly about her gender. Media and speeches today read somethin...

This is how the Clintons could pull the Democratic Party down to general election defeat alongside their fading presidential hopes: a pointless fight over gender politics.

Given Clinton's recent major and undeniable race-inflected victories, the increasing charges of sexism, particularly against Obama himself, are misguided at best. This is no way to advance party unity or women's rights.

In the Washington Post, Clinton briefly hit "sexism" in media coverage of her campaign as "deeply offensive to millions of women," but she went much further.

Sexism cuts both ways; Hillary's continued presence in this campaign is, in and of itself, a manipulation of the very concept. If Hillary were a man, she would have been long gone.
Joanne Bamberger | Posted 05.19.2008 | Politics
As Hillary's voice gets quieter in this campaign, I'm wondering where we, as political women, go from here?
Jonathan Leigh Solomon | Posted 05.19.2008 | Politics
How can anyone say that Clinton is expanding the boundaries of what is possible for women when she keeps defining her legitimacy by claiming that other women will never expand theirs?
RJ Eskow | Posted 05.19.2008 | Politics
Sexism has infested this race, and many of us have deplored it. But reality is multifaceted. While Sen. Clinton has faced bigotry, so has her opponent.
Blake Fleetwood | Posted 05.18.2008 | Politics
Sexism is alive and well in America. One exit poll I saw had almost twice as many voters having trouble voting for a woman for president than voting...

The saying goes: "Why buy the cow when you can have the milk for free?" Well, my milk and my love are always free. I can't be bought and will not bear my sexuality as a bartering item.

We may idealize women in the role of mother, but the urge to demonize the female isn't just a tribal one. Do you know when the last woman was imprisoned for witchcraft in Great Britain?

I Object! Or is that Subject? This was my first reaction to the common linguistic objectification of sentient beings which has become pervasive in America.

Clinton's run for the Democratic nomination has been awash with the most dispiriting ridicule I have seen in my (albeit short) lifetime.
