I wrote them and gave them an eyefull about their moronic cover. I really can not believe this nonsense. I think these women and organizations have really become about playing along with the guys so that they women running them at least get their own financial parity as the rest of the women in the world stuggle.
I am sick and disgusted.

I have also noticed how Obama gets away with his carefully chosen and hidden sexist comments. Don’t forget the one about Ferraro being “slice and dice” politics. He’s constantly using “kitchen” and “kitchen appliance” analogies. Like that’s the place these women who dare to be politicians should return to.

But I think he has finally stuck his foot in his mouth with this lame attempt to spin the Rev. Jeremiah Wright story into making the American public feel that THEY are the racists because they don’t “understand black culture”. That doesn’t excuse the hateful anti-American statements Wright has made, nor does it obfuscate Obama’s poor judgment in choosing a political radical and hot potato like Wright as his campaign advisor, close mentor and friend, and pastor of over 20 years. That truly is a (to use Obama’s own word about himself) “boneheaded” lack of good judgment.

[...] The man likes classics, it seems. That’s a classic sexist stand-by if I ever heard one. Women can’t be trusted, they’re emotional and irrational and PMSing and the Force knows what else. Uhm, what year was this again? There’s some nice commentary about Obama’s comments on Madeleine Kane and Taylor Marsh’s blogs and a few other places. Now, I’m not trying to influence anyone’s vote. It’s just that, uhm, know your candidate, Ok? Just sayin’ [...]

I’ve got a couple of posts about the issue of sexism in the current campaign on my blog. Thanks for posting this. I was beginning to think no one else was picking up on this stuff.

Men and women are different. I AM moodier than my boyfriend, and all of my friends are moodier than their boyfriend/husbands. We have different hormones. It’s ridiculous to expect men and women to be talked about in the same way. We are equal, but we are not the same, and addressing our differences directly or indirectly shouldn’t automatically be called sexism.

[...] The election in the middle latitudes of North America, the United States of America, concerns us all. Some election blogging - the Young and Broke Amanda Gleason assesses the race so far. Menstrual Poetry writes about Republican front-runner John McCain’s position on abortion. It’s sneaky moves he’s making there. Obama: was he or wasn’t he sexist talking about Clinton getting down periodically? Mad Kane’s Political Madness thinks it’s a textbook case of subtle sexism. Feministe whistles up a storm on the same topic. But Karnythia at The Angry Black Woman contemplates breaking up with feminism. [...]
