Today is a very hot day for the US Elections race: democrats and republicans of a lot of States have to vote in order to elect their presidential candidate. Probably, these results will not be decisive for any of the main candidates; but if you have a good night today, be sure that you are at the pole position for the rest of the race.
While we, political animals, wait for the beginning of the party, I invite you to read an interesting article about political, individual and feminism: Why I’m not necessarily for Hillary, written for Alice Kessler-Harris and published at the San Francisco Chronicle.
“I am not reassured by learning that John Edwards is the son of a mill worker, that Barack Obama is black, or that Clinton is a woman. Each of those identities reflects something about which I care deeply. But I can’t vote for any of them because of who they are. Supporting Hillary because she is a woman fosters a debate about whether to place race or sex or religion at the top of our list of priorities. If I support Hillary (or any candidate) because I am drawn to her identity, I am simply encouraging others to support their candidates for the same reason. And identity is no guarantee that a particular individual will speak for feminist values and issues.“
