| marite, I did not intend to turn this into a racism vs. sexism debate. I was asking a genuine question about both Clinton and Obama's dual roles, belonging into a group of oppressed people and oppressors. I agree with mythmom's post, but I really don't want to get involved with debating who is more historically oppressed. I just find it disingenuous to oppose Clinton for her privileged white status while overlooking Obama's male privilege (though I would not use either as a criterium in deciding who will get my vote). |
