The F Word

Probably best to consider this part 1 as this word is likely to come up again.  A really uncomfortable listing of why Feminism needs to be perpetuated in 20 Reasons why we still need the f-word,

Can a Woman Be President?

An interesting article that illustrates why it is unlikely a woman can be President.  Women don't appear to want you to act like a man and men don't want you to act like a woman.  Can some of us get off of our backs?  Please?

A little nugget:
Clearly, Hillary and her advisors have calculated that for a woman to be elected in this country, she’s got to come across as just as tough as the guys. And maybe they’re right. But so far, Hillary is not getting men with this strategy, and women feel written off. After the dark ages of this pugnacious administration, many of us want to let the light in. We want a break with the past, optimism, and a recommitment to the government caring about and serving the needs of everyday people. We want what feminism began to fight for 40 years ago—humanizing deeply patriarchal institutions. And, ironically, we see candidates like John Edwards or Barack Obama—men—offering just that. If Hillary Clinton wants to be the first female president, then maybe, just maybe, she should actually run as a woman.
