The Quote of the Day, brought to you by the fact that the New Hampshire primaries are underway:
So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one? The reasons are as pervasive as the air we breathe: because sexism is still confused with nature as racism once was; because anything that affects males is seen as more serious than anything that affects “only” the female half of the human race; because children are still raised mostly by women (to put it mildly) so men especially tend to feel they are regressing to childhood when dealing with a powerful woman; because racism stereotyped black men as more “masculine” for so long that some white men find their presence to be masculinity-affirming (as long as there aren’t too many of them); and because there is still no “right” way to be a woman in public power without being considered a you-know-what.

That is all for now.
And here I thought you were a, “you know what” because you’re all political, and stuff. LOL
I saw today that Obama was touting how so many Republicans crossed party lines and caucused for him in Iowa.
Umm… Barack, I hate to point this out to you, they’re doing so because they want you to be the Democratic candidate so the Republican will win in November. You stand zero chance of winning anywhere in the south. Let’s face it, you have to win there to win the office, these days.
