@ AKA Smith
Obviously neither candidate could avoid running as who they are. They must simply avoid making direct appeals to their particular "identity". The male backlash came against Clinton after NH. THe male dominated media just failed to report it (for obvious reasons).
Clinton has an opportunity to use the stereotype of women being more thoughtful on national security and military matters than men. Instead, it seems her campaign has decided to "out testosterone" her opponents.
My contention is that it will not work. Alpha male types aren't going to vote for Mrs. Clinton regardless of how tough she sounds. And those who would support her because she would seem to be the more thoughtful candidate due to her gender are driven away.
