Yes, please...but I just noticed something: Male cadidate has an "O" on his jacket, signifying his last name. Female candidate has an "H" on her jacket, signifying her first name. Institutionalized sexism, anyone? I'll gladly vote for "O" is he gets the nomination, but this stuff still bothers me. - "Mrs. Iggy"
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticing that. But what is maddening is that when we point it out, people brand us FemiNazis.
Well, the polite ones call us that...the less polite ones refer to us by a slang name for female genitalia. Really, we should know our place better, shouldn't we? We should be happy, I suppose, that we are even allowed to vote....
