  • Where's the real XX Factor??

    I'm becoming more and more confused at how these posts can be considered a political commentary from the female perspective, when there is so much female-bashing mixed in with everything! Instead of focusing on the policies of Clinton and Obama, their personalities/gender/race/clothes! are all anyone talks about. They may be very similar in ...

  • Hillary Clinton won't lose because of sexism

    Here's an interesting statistic: According to the Pew Research Center, Democrats view Hillary Clinton slightly more favorably than Barack Obama (79% vs. 73%). [And for those keeping score, that's 72% vs. 72% for males and 83% vs. 74% for females.] In other words, it's not that voters detest her, it's just that they want to vote for Obama. ...
