how is voting for someone primarily because they share the same genetalia as me in anyway radical?

both this post and the bitch phd one seperate feminism from other forms of social justice.  as if there are feminist goals and other goals, and they can be prioritized and worked on seperately.  part of the reason that some feminists of the previous generation have been so vilified now and found their movement dwindeling is the refusal to see the interconnected nature of oppressions and to expand their definitions of feminism to include dismanteling the power structure as a whole, rather than making it possible for some women to advance within it. 

 on that note, neither obama nor clinton are particularly feminist canidates, as both advocate oppresive free market ideologies.  they are all we got though, and if we were to rank them, to me clearly obama is the most feminist canidate because i believe his policies would improve life for the majority of people, and the majority of women. 

 yes, as a white woman i think it would be neat-o to see someone who looks like me as president.  but if i can expand my definition of what is good for women (and people) for a moment to see past me, i can see that what would be more neat than having a president with a hoo-hah would be if we stopped bombing people, if we started to address the racism and police brutality in this country, and if we could have someone at the top who wasn't quite as deep in the pockets of old power as hillary is.

 and would white women please stop talking about how black men have had it better somehow than us, it is embaressing as all hell.
