I agree with you. But let me flip the dynamic here.

In a predominately white workplace, a black male leader has to be twice as productive, and half as flawed. That same double standard goes for ANY minority which has not historically had power at higher levels.

I support a woman’s right to reach equal footing with men. I agree the glass ceiling needs to be broken. But for a variety of reasons, I do not support Senator Clinton. The ideals of the feminist movement were to, as I understand it, bring women to the same level as men and give them the same basics rights. But what I have seen instead is women in charge making the same mistakes as men and using the same Patriarchal fallacies that instead of rising above gender, use gender as a means of division and resort to the same discriminatory tactics used by men.

The goal ought to be to get to the point NOT that gender doesn’t matter, but that it’s utterly irrelevant to the argument. I am a human first, and a male second. Hillary Clinton ought to see herself as a potential President first, period. Not a potential Female President.

Well, I can’t speak for how Clinton sees herself, but I do think that she is often criticized for being too tough or not likable enough, which are lame reasons for not supporting her. There are other reasons not to support her that are unrelated to femaleness. But I think this is much bigger than her.
