If people attack every ghost and shadow as a new or continued form or racism or sexism, that drives those issues forever to the forefront. You can't cram an idea which should be built on emotional indifference down people's throats and expect them to be emotionally unbiased. It's speeches like this which create bitterness in me... which is obviously counterproductive to my acceptance of the topic. And I like Condi because, in the limited number of interviews with her that I've seen, her views on politics seemed very agreeable and she struck me as particularly intelligent. I don't have a basis for comparison of her in a situation which supposedly involves a gender role in some way. The only facet of equality that can be rightly fought for is equality in rights and law.
