Objectify This

I’m too busy reading and writing my thesis and listening to Radiohead’s In Rainbows to write a whole post today. But you should consider reading Gloria Steinem’s piece, Women Are Never Front-Runners, in today’s New York Times’ Op-Ed section, in which she discusses the gender power dynamics being enacted by Democratic presidential candidates Obama (do the barackaway) and Clinton. It’s worth your time, like all of her writing (I especially recommend checking out Revolution From Within from your local library, if you have that kind of time). I’m still torn about the idea of having such a long time period of monarchy-style nepotistic inheritance of our government’s most powerful seat, though. I mean, that doesn’t seem to promote equality, either. Ok, back to work for me.
