My point is people should be judged equally on their merits, not by their race, sex, age, etc. and the fact that that is finally happening in this election is wonderful.
Standards applied to one should be applied to all or none.

On most of this statement we do agree Susan. Except I do have a great deal of regard for Hillary.
Absolutely, both standards should apply. I went through this "double standard" big time in advertising. One of my concepts landed a 10 million dollar account for an ad agency I was working for. Don Tennant, owned the agency was very chauvinistic. He actually held the celebration luncheon at an all men's club in Chicago. It was blatant an of course I was angry and hurt.
My only point was on the flip side of the coin, I would be careful of who I wanted to point out as a role model to MY daughter. Just because a woman makes it to a certain position in her career, doesn't automatically make her a great role model. It's got to be the entire package, not just 'The Vagina Monologues'.
