Jun 3rd, 2008 | The principle that all men are created equal has never been more than a remote eventuality in the quest for the presidency. But with the Democratic nomination finally in Barack Obama’s grasp, that ideal is no longer relegated to someday.
Someday is now.
“All men are created equal”…and what of the women, exactly? Men ≠ women, so Adam’s silence on the issue of women’s equality implies that he does not think all women are created equal. Or equal to men, at least.
Such a sexist slip is bad enough, but doubly so in a race where the winning man’s chief competitor is a woman. Seriously, with a black man and a white woman running for the Dem nomination, this would have been a historic election year either way.
Way to shit on the parade, Adam.
Actually, it’s more like a delicate little Rennie turd on the top of a misogyny sundae.
Either way, thanks for that, Adam Gellar.
