It’s Pearls and Belts From Now On

I haven’t been a huge fan of Hillary during this campaign. Her tactics annoyed me, she was no match for the stirring speeches of Mr. Inspiration, and she hung around for far too long. However, there is no question that her campaign was hit several times by torpedoes of sexism. Very quickly we’re moving from discussions of women leaders to discussions of pearls and belts. I’m guilty there, too. Shrug.

While I’m waiting around for the new issue of the Atlantic to go online, I thought I would point you to this article on feminism and Hillary in the New Republic and coverage on this topic by the Daily Show. What the heck, check out Indecision 5768, too.

UPDATE: Wow. Big raging debate between Linda Hirshman and younger women bloggers. See here, bean, Jill, and Jen.
