Re: Yes, just blame sexism
Although not a complete answer, but a definite dynamic in this election is America’s love-hate relationship to sex and the stereo-types that hide in the back of our brains. This can be seen in the Before Palin (B.P.) and After Palin (A.P.) variations of the poles. Although beautiful and handsome, some more so than others, no contender had ...

Seriously? This is a strategy?
How foolish; how unbelievably naive. This simply shows those of us who support Hillary Clinton that the absolute hatred directed toward her is real, simply because she will not drop out of a nose-to-nose race and allow the crowning of a completely unvetted, untested candidate. Yes, you are calling for war alright: but be very careful what you ...

Lead With Bevel's Heroism...
and drop halfway down to the dirty details. This is repugnant journalistic behavior. There is no amount of apology, lauditory comments or hero worship that makes up for his incest - NONE! And for the details to wait until AFTER the praise for Bevel's civil rights work is one more symptom of how men behave when it comes to sexual abuse and ...

"Clinton Hatches a Win?"
What the hell? Why the weird sexist headline on the Slate home page?

Re: Un-feminist to be "feminine"
@ ladykrystyna, ''Ford was only defending the one that gets picked on the most - the traditional one. Just like Christians tend to get a little defensive when liberals bash them all the time, while defending Muslims that give raped women 200 lashes just for being raped.'' Well, again, if you'd bothered to read my posts you would've seen that -- ...

@ FordTruck4Speed: ''I know what I said, and I stand by my words. I did not say anything bigotted.'' -- COMBINED WITH -- ''[I]t's good to see that there are others out there that understand the difference between ''tolerance'' and all-out blind acceptance of everything. ... You can put up with someone else's tastes or behaviors, but you don't ...

Re: Un-feminist to be "feminine"
@ “Why not use your position of power to effect change in the world?” What on earth do you think I’m doing right now? I’m sure you have at least a clue about how little time I have as a partner in a law firm and the parent of two children. Why do you think I take some of that precious time to write comments in Slate? You belittle my ...

Re: Un-feminist to be "feminine"
“Your posts are filled with anger, despite what you say. ... I can see it in every one of your posts. There is always something negative about the men.” These are conclusory statements. As a lawyer you know how useless those are. Perhaps *you* can see it,(sorta the way Justice Stewart said, when asked how he defined hard-core pornography, said ...

Re: Un-feminist to be "feminine"
@ “I trust that people, if given the chance, will make the best decisions for themselves and that's the way it should be.” Yup, that's why, after Emancipation, many former slaves decided to remain on the plantation. That's why laissez-faire capitalism always seems to result in a Gilded Age combined with sweatshop labor. That's why we've got ...
