 Clinton fits feminists' victim mould
By Rondi Adamson Journalist Andrew Sullivan recently wrote that there were "Gloria Steinem women" and "Camille Paglia women." The former, he said, support Hillary Clinton, while the latter prefer Barack Obama. There is much truth to that generalization. I would add that the Paglia women who may not support Obama still, to put it mildly, don't like Clinton.

Should we not be thrilled that a woman is close to becoming the leader of the free world? Er, no. There are ideological disparities, of course. Though many Steinem women are boomers and older (the same age group that consistently polls pro-Clinton) the differences have little to do with age. I know women in their 20s who fit the Steinem mould - convinced that every problem a woman faces is because of gender, convinced the solution is a social program, affirmative action or some other form of government intervention (Status of Women Canada, anyone?). They are so stubbornly mired in 1970s attitudes one is tempted to call them "libbers." Paglia women tend toward a more libertarian approach, wanting equal opportunity, but not assuming that the natural aftermath of equal opportunities will be equal outcomes. As it never is among men, why would or should it be where women are concerned?
