Tell it. I'm hearing this same line about Hillary on the female side. I do think the presidency of either Democratic frontrunner could reduce racism or sexism, not in the way Julio's suggesting, but more in the way of a reality check. Oh, yeah, a woman can be a neoliberal weasel too (borrowing Adolph Reed's characterization). So much for essentialism, now we can go on to other things. An HRC presidency would be the end of the road for a certain brand of feminism.
