"So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one?..anything that affects males is seen as more serious than anything that affects 'only' the female half of the human race....racism stereotyped black men as more masculine for so long that some white men find their presence to be masculinity-affirming.....there is still no right way to be a woman in public power without being considered a you-know-what." Gloria Steinem.
"But for one moment (New Hampshire) women knew just how Hillary felt, and they gave her a sympathy vote. It wasn't a long term commitment, just a brief strike by the sisters against their oversheduled world." Gail Collins
"Older white women pulled her (Clinton) up in New Hampshire, but many younger voters want to be rid of the whole Clinton megilah." Maureen Dowd,

" Stephanie J. James
