I only have time for two
I only have time for two brief points right now:
First: I think there is some (intentional?) mis/non-readings of my post(s) going on here. I never say this is what you are doing, I say this is what I'm trying to work against in my posts. ("I think what I am trying to do is meet the oversimplified charge that every criticism of the Clinton campaign can be reduced to gender.")
Second: If we aren't talking about mothers, then yes, I think that Clinton has avoided gender(ed) politics in the same way that Obama is charged with avoiding race. I think there is a lot taken for granted in both campaigns that avoid any sort of address of specific issues. On these points, the candidates seem to rely on somatic identification. Of course this manifests in the controversial overlap - remember the heat Oprah got for 'choosing her race over her gender' - as if the two were separate and not bimodal.
