In the Racism Vs. Sexism Fight, Sexism Always Loses

Found this video at Echidne of the Snakes, discussing the rampant sexism of the current Democrat campaign.

It's an interesting and thought-provoking commentary. Of course, it doesn't discuss the blatant racism involved in much of Hillary Clinton's appeal, but then, it's a site devoted to feminist politics, so why would race matter?

I've argued for years against the sexism and hatred of women shown by many on the right, but it's interesting watching the same phenomenon from the Left. What it tells me is that the such divides aren't conservative vs. liberal; when you build your party on identity, that's what you get.
