Seriously though that policy from West Bengal would be worth trying here.

about themselves.

Be glad about this as a byproduct, yes, but not as a determining factor.

true in England after Margaret Thatcher. In fact, I remember as many young women grave-dancing when she died as did young men.

Too bad, a powerful and honest woman with integrity is not running this election season.

And Israel after Golda? Certainly Benizar made her country, Pakistan, a rival of Sweden in its equality and quality of life of women....



FAIL.

So far women leaders have been just as bad as male ones.

from the highest office in the land for the past 7 years, already.

Heavy sigh.

I'm now off to go read some more of the links that are in there. I read one and it very interesting.

I mean, you may disagree with all of her issues but, heck, she's a woman, so better elect her.

THIS IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT, NOT GENDER

That worked SOOOOOOO well for you guys when you called AA voters uninformed. I see you are doubling down on your winning strategy.

"oh you're just calling us uninformed" defense. They know perfectly well what they support. They just don't give a damn.

supporting and voting for. Someone with no real progressive values. That's who they want.

...as their path to success.

One of the reasons I voted for Obama in the 2008 MN Caucus was that I wanted him to be rewarded for opposing the Iraq War so that other politicians would view opposing war as a path to success.

Presumably this study wasn't conducted in the future? Then it's evidently unnecessary for Hill to be president for her hypnotic gaze to inspire long-winded speech and unearned self-esteem. Perhaps being a Walmart board member is sufficient. Or first lady (is Bernie gay?). Or Secretary of State (is Bernie committed to an all-male cabinet?).

Indeed, the article's central thesis, that males don't need role models because there are already enough of them, cuts both ways. There does in general appear to be sharply diminishing marginal utility to role models, such that one female example, even if she wasn't even American (Merkel), was sufficient to completely close the gender gap.

So the sane course of action, even if we agree that females have too little self-esteem (as opposed to, say, males having too much), would appear to be to do on a larger scale exactly what was done in the studies: highlight female accomplishments, in which supply is inexhaustible, no matter who is president.

Calling Hillary 'Constitutional restrictions on abortion are ok by me!' Clinton a feminist is an insult to feminists

It would do more harm to young women than good, in the long run, when her entire presidency is one scandal after another, mostly that she has brought on herself by abysmal judgment and poor ethics.

A legitimately disgraced woman president is not helpful. And with Clinton IMO it is highly likely.

Hillary is a terrible choice on so many levels.

She rode in on Bill's coattails and has been a nightmare as SoS. She is also a criminal
and a perjurer. I agree that Liz Warren is the kind of woman we need in high office.
HRC is merely out to enrich herself and her corporate buddies at the expense of all
of us.

Ok, yes we Bernie supporters already knew Hillary supporters were only voting for Hillary because she is a woman. Which, disappointingly, explains why all of you have a blind eye on her record, but i do understand how this will have a positive effect for women. Intriguingly, it seems to have a bigger impact for older women than young. Hillary isn't quite the role model you want to have the next generation of women replicating, but i understand the bigger message.

Hey i want a woman president too but its a real shame it had to be Hillary. Elizabeth Warren would have been the ideal first woman president because let's keep it real, there are only a handful of real democrats that actually give a damn about the people: Warren, Sanders, Grayson, and a few others. Warren would have overwhelmingly united Bernie's progressives, and Hillary's center-right style older democrat supporters.
