I don't get that... As a gay man, I would vote hands down for a gay running for office if the person he was running against was 99% same on issues... (even if I preferred the other candidates personality and background) why have so many young females failed to rally behind her, do they not see the historical importance of this chance to breakthrough that final glass ceiling? I think a lot of you women, by not supporting her (and being neutral is not supporting), missed the boat big time on this one! can you tell me how it is possible for you to call yourself a feminist and yet not support Hillary’s run for president?

So, let's transpose it to racism. Suppose Obama is campaigning for the farm vote and they put a picture of him enjoying a huge slice of watermelon on the cover of some magazine. would that be racism??? Or just politics????

It is just how things are and how things have always been. Pointing out that our media is filled with sexist sniggering fratboys creates a kneejerk response: f*ck you you humorless f*cking bitches. Which is why the Randi Rhodes thing was not ok. Is not ok. Anyone notice that Imus called Obama a "pussy" in the last week? How much traction did that story get? If not, why not? Cui bono?

I must have missed something, because your explanation doesn't wash. So she favors Obama. So what? With the comment about hustler, was that a joke or does she seriously have an involvement in that? Also, who are Ava and C.I.? Kayla,
