1. I've noticed the sexism too.
I think it's one of those things that is so ingrained in our culture that people don't
have a second thought about it. Whereas, saying something racist is going to be
noticed and addressed immediately.
Sexism has been around for millenia, people don't often pay a price for it because
often women put up with it - or even agree with it. After all, they wouldn't want to come off bitchy,
now would they? ;-)

I am wavering between the candidates myself. I was disappointed when Edwards packed it in. I guess
I'm resigned to change in SMALL increments. Either one of these candidates is a step forward in this
society and anyone is better than the Repubs continuing their reign of terra.
