Help[Opinions] Re: Hilary (or Hillary)
in reply to a message by Ozma
Yes---it's hard to know whether it was done because of her gender or to avoid confusion with her husband.
I had a friend who used the fact that Hillary Clinton failed to win the presidential nomination as proof that the American people are not ready to elect a woman President. I made the argument that her failure to secure the nomination didn't necessarily mean that, because she came with a lot of baggage from her tenure as First Lady, and people had already formed strong opinions about her. So it's hard to judge whether or not the people are ready for an woman President, or how future women Presidential candidates will be treated, based upon her example.
Well, quite OT.
