Probably. I need to do more research before I actually vote, but that's the direction I'm leaning. I think I could live with all three major Democratic candidates (Clinton, Edwards, Obama), but I just can't imagine having a viable female candidate whose politics I respect and NOT voting for her. Women currently make up only 16% of both the House and Senate. It was only last year that Nancy Pelosi was made Speaker of the House, the first woman to hold that office. Given how few women we have in power in the US, how can I do anything else? On the other hand, giving a woman my vote just because of her sex isn't what feminism is about. While Clinton almost certainly has my vote, I'm feeling conflicted about my reasoning. Has anyone else been thinking about this? |
