http://www.bilerico.com/2008/02/sexism_and_gender_and_everything_that_co.phpCheck out this much-needed commentary by Robin Morgan on the sexism displayed in the presidential race so far.
Whoever you want to see win the presidency (I am personally so deeply moved by both Clinton and Obama to the point that I stood with my finger poised for nearly 15 minutes over my wacky Florida touchscreen last Tuesday), we need to address the insanely misogynistic language that's become commonplace in public discourse.
I also hope that the next round of work on a trans-inclusive ENDA will start to address the ways that inclusive language will impact gender-based discrimination against women generally, trans or otherwise.
