i hate talking politics

Wednesday, February 27, 2008

But here’s my incendiary question du jour:

If Barak Obama were a woman (young, attractive, inexperienced, touchy-feely message) and Hillary Clinton were a man (wrinkling, graying, seasoned, dry presentation)—all other things being just as they are—do you think Obama would have a chance?

Of course. I'm not sure why people keep bringing gender into this.
 
Well ...
Because Hillary is the first viable female candidate we've managed to cough up in more than 200 years?
Because women still earn .70 to every dollar?
Because women got the vote decades after African-American men did?
Because we never managed to get behind an Equal Rights Amendment?
Because racism is divided by race but all races unite in some form of sexism?

Hello and welcome to my website and blog.

My name is Sophia Dembling (Sophia with a long i) but you can call me Sophie if you want. I'm an award-winning writer in Dallas, Texas. That's right. Award-winning.

I write about lots of stuff, primarily travel, psychology and health because those are topics I like best. My main blog these days is Flyover America and you should check it out. It's all about seeing our Glorious 50 and I write it with Jenna Schnuer and Matt Villano.

On other pages of this site, you'll find stories, columns, photos and more. I'm not the blogger here I once was--the days of daily ruminations are past. But I will turn up now and then with a pithy thought. And rummage around the back catalog. Great stuff there.
