gender equality - a successful campaign pitch? (5.00 / 1) (#169)

Spike, I just don't know.
As much as I would love to have gender equality and women's rights as human rights be the centerpiece of  the campaign, it's quite difficult to imagine that as a winning slogan -- given everything we've witnessed these past few months.  Would people have responded even worse if she'd been explicit about these goals? Senator Obama claimed to be beyond race and she claimed to be beyond gender, and it seems that our society was more ready for the former than the latter.  Ah, this is all so tiring ...
