When Women Win, Men Win, Too
Should
men applaud that another barrier has fallen so that our world is more
fair and equitable? Or should we fret that when women win, we lose —
that soon we’ll have to give up grunting and football games for putting
down toilet seats and talking about our “feelings”?
The
Democratic National Convention this past week was one long celebration
of XX chromosomes and the emancipation of women. A spine-tingling moment
came when 102-year-old Geraldine “Jerry” Emmett, born before women
could vote in federal elections, announced Arizona’s votes for Hillary
Clinton — and then cried.
Yet Democratic strategists also worry, rightly I think, that the giddy enthusiasm for gender progress may turn off men. Already, Donald Trump has a huge lead among white men with no college degree, and that’s the reason the overall polls are close.
So let me try to make the case that when women win, we men win, too.
Put
aside your feelings about Hillary Clinton: I understand that many
Americans distrust her and would welcome a woman in the White House if
it were someone else. But whatever one thinks of Clinton, her nomination
is a milestone, and a lesson of history is that when women advance,
humanity advances.

Was this Week's Roll Call Sexist?
Kathleen
Dolan notes the difficulty in deciding how sexism is measured or
defined in political campaigns. She proposes that the differences in how
Clinton and Sanders handled their presidential primary defeats and
procedural roll call votes at their respective party conventions may be
evidence of gendered standards. Read her thoughts here.
