Reply #29: What you've written is sexist - although I doubt you've noticed...

I'm not saying this to accuse you of being sexist, simply to point out how insidious this whole thing is. You wrote, "She can follow the do-what-white-males-do approach, and to a certain degree she should. I think a woman running in a general election for president probably has to show herself to be as "tough" as all the male candidates, to compensate for lingering sexist stereotypes." When you say, "show herself to be as tough," you insinuate that she isn't by nature as tough and that being male automatically endows one with the ability to be tough. Is this strictly a male characteristic? We all make prejudicial comments every day without realizing it; however, when you are writing on the subject, a little more care should be taken. Hope you don't take offense to this. I admire your views & remember when you would actually post them - many years back.
