Gloria Steinem wrote an excellent piece in yesterday's New York Times.
She talks about how strong sexism is today, and how we hold Senator Clinton to a higher, impossible standard than the other candidates.
I think her observation that child rearing is done almost exclusively by women, and some men find powerful women infantalizing due to this, is interesting. I've heard it argued often that we don't accept women in charge, and that they're not allowed the same range of emotion male leaders are, but never this type of explanation.
And then there's Maureen Dowd's column today. She asks lots of great questions, but doesn't have many answers.
