Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!
Young women are growing increasingly frustrated with the fanatical support of Barack and gleeful bashing of Hillary.

    Thanks for replying to these messages, we like to think that we're not always yelling in an echo chamber :)

    I guess I can see your point (re: the point of your article), but what strikes me is that it, along with all the other "feminist perspective" pieces that Salon has run of late always set up the dichotomy between Obama and Clinton. It's how feminism is impacting/being impacted upon the Clinton campaign in relation to Obama's.

    What I would find to be a fascinating article would be one examining how feminists feel about Clinton's campaign. Not in relation to Obama's, but how her campaign is or isn't living up to the ideals you attribute to feminism. Because I gotta tell ya, from the cheap seats over here it doesn't really seem like there's that much about it or her that strikes me as "feminist" (other than, you know, being a woman).

    cheers
