JFK and LBJ were both men . . . (5.00 / 4) (#137)

. . . so your analogy ignores the crucial aspect of sexism, that is, misogyny, that is, socially sanctioned, institutionally perpetuated, psychotic hatred of women, with all that this attitude implies.

There is a contest and (none / 0) (#207)

one candidate wins.  The 2nd place candidate is a damn good candidate with strong supporters.  Winning candidate should offer position to 2nd place candidate.  That could/should  happen no matter what gender the candidates were.

So if HRC was a man it would be OK for Obama to offer him the vp slot?  

TO me it is sexist to NOT OFFER her the slot.
