I usually don't like Maureen Dowd. Her post-feminist writing sometimes lacks depth, painting all men and all women with one brush, failing to admit complexity. Or sometimes caricaturing the powerful and armchair psychoanalysing possible motives. Whether it's guessing VP Cheney's motives or Barack's, I'm not completely comfortable assuming I understand why they do what they do.
But in today's column, she observes that while Senator Clinton is getting all sorts of misogynistic hate piled on and feminist defense in support, she observes astutely that it's possible to sincerely choose another candidate for reasons other than gender.
