Feminism and the 2008 Democratic Primary

Michelle Goldberg of The Guardian brilliantly skewers the argument that equates feminism with a vote for Hillary Clinton, and the false feminists who make this claim. She also makes this point, which I recently made to an associate who would not acknowledge its accuracy:
If the roles were reversed, if Obama were behind by every metric, Clinton would have been coroneted by now, and the cry for her opponent to get out and quit being a spoiler would be deafening.
See the post for some really ridiculous rhetoric by radical feminists attack female supporters of Obama (who, it should be noted, have been in the minority in nearly every state outside of Illinois).
