On gender: "... because the children are still raised mostly by women, so men especially tend to feel they are regressing to childhood when dealing with a powerful woman"
On race: "... because racism stereotyped black men as more 'masculine' for so long that some white men find their presence to be masculinity-affirming (as long as there aren't too many of them)"
Above lines are from this piece by Gloria Steinem on the presidential battle between Clinton & Obama. She observes that when it comes to running for the President, being black is much better than being a woman ... even in today's America.
And we thought gender biasness is only OUR national trait ...
