A Woman Unlikely in 2017.

Liz Mair writes for The Daily Beast, today she meditates upon the meaning of the Democratic debate, the 2016 presidential race, and the role of women in U.S. politics.

No matter how strong Hillary Clinton’s performance was Tuesday night, more and more people are acknowledging that 2017 is unlikely to be the year America’s first female president is inaugurated.

Perhaps we should instead be celebrating American women (mostly) having the good sense to avoid getting overly wrapped up in American politics or our government, such as it is.

Sure, sexism exists in politics, and contrary to what we’re often told, it does so on both sides of the aisle. (snip) More common, however, seems to be women self-segregating ourselves out of politics, or self-segregating into the less taxing roles of voter, volunteer, or mostly passive supporter.

Mair has a refreshing attitude. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link.
