The Guardian’s Anne Perkins asks the question that is on the minds of Hillary Clinton supporters these days:
So why is it that women get more chances on the political right than it seems they do on the left? Is there something not very progressive about progressives, is the right really gender-blind, or is there something else going on here.
One explanation, she argues, is that:
The women on the right (who make it) share a common disregard for gender politics. The women on the left (who by and large haven't, or at least not yet) have made feminism an integral part of their public personality.
OK, enough feminist talk. I am too distracted by the number of times the term "hockey mom" has been uttered at the RNC. Can I get a count on "moose" as well? Everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten about George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice and pretty much anyone else actually responsible for foreign policy.
