Let me lay out a few basics before I get into my main point. I am a male in my 20s, and I support Obama for President. For some people, this may entirely discount what I'm about to say, but so be it.

I have to ask a question to certain Hillary supports (not all), who really believe that Hillary is the only chance we have for a woman to be president in their or my lifetime. For the life of me, I can't see this, and I genuinely think this view is very patronizing towards women. If we are to be seeking true equality of the sexes, why wouldn't we say there will be a legitimate female candidate every year? Honestly, why not? I can think of women in our political system who will be there in 4 years, 8 years, and beyond. Hillary is hardly the last chance.

From my perspective, Hillary is actually a pretty poor person to represent the hopes of women into the White House. She's the wife of a former President who doesn't have much independent experience in government. Why do we think a woman similarly or more accomplished (of which there are many) would not be able to compete? Is it just pessimism? Negativism? Is there any logical reason to think Hillary is the last chance?

Hillary is probably the most intensely disliked female politician in American today (whether deserved or not), and she has come very close. Shouldn't we be a little more optimistic about our future?

I don't see what makes Hillary so special that she is the last best hope of womankind, and I think saying so does a great disservice to all other woman who aspire to that office.
