Hillary Clinton won using a classic tactic - crying. While I don't think it was insincere, I think she let herself go to a place she would not have gone had she been winning in the polls.

As for Gloria Steinem's excellently timed piece (to generate even more sympathy for Hillary; were the crying and the op-ed piece perhaps synchronized?) - yes, black men did technically have the vote before women - but Gloria, Ms. Steinem, conveniently forgets the tyranny that surrounded the black vote well into the sixties. Annnd, it's not like the feminist movement really included women of color, who have NEVER had the option of playing "damsel in distress" like Hillary was able to do in the New Hampshire primary.

Thank you!! No one in the media seems to be making the point that, yes, black men were able to vote earlier than any woman. On that one point, Steinem is technically correct. However, Jim Crow laws and other tactics have been used to keep black people from voting well after white women were able to take sufferage for granted. ID laws put into place recently in several states disproportionately affect poor people, who are disproportionately black in this country.

And while we are at it, if we are taking about how hard it is to be a woman vs. how hard it is to be black in the country, no conversation would be even close to being complete without mentioning the incarceration rate for African American men. When you have a better chance of serving time than getting a college education, what does the race/gender of the presidential candidate matter?

Steinem once agin shows us where the second wave of feminism came up short. Instead of fighting about who has it worse, maybe we should be trying to raise everyone up.
