I've considered this phenom for some time (probably right around when they started throwing Palin in our face.) If they present stupid women, they reinforce the attitude that women are too stupid to 'do' politics. It keeps the fat pasty guys in control. Really, just a microcosm of everything that still goes on in this day and age.

Don't forget, black men were afforded the right to vote 50 years before women. I'm sure there are a lot of conclusions to be drawn from that in reference to the history of women's issues in this country, but there isn't enough time to draw them all.

We've come a long way baby. We've miles to go.

Now get in that kitchen and make me a pie.
