"Barack Obama draws 80-90% of the African-American vote.&amp;amp;nbsp; Hillary Clinton pulls significantly less of the women&amp;#x27;s vote: 57% in Ohio last week.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp;Which means Democratic women are voting their gender less than Democratic Blacks are voting their race. So why aren&amp;#x27;t more women voting for Hillary Clinton? Some of it is generational, since older women vote for Clinton more than younger women do.&amp;amp;nbsp; Perhaps older women feel more strongly about having the chance to vote for a woman, while younger voters assume they&amp;#x27;ll get a few more chances. But I think the more telling statistic is socio-economic.&amp;amp;nbsp; More affluent, educated women are voting for Obama. And these are exactly the women who are less likely to think they&amp;#x27;ll be treated unfairly because they are women.&amp;amp;nbsp; They are privileged, chosen, blessed.&amp;amp;nbsp; They do not feel a fierce urgency to put a woman in the White House.&amp;amp;nbsp; They assume they will succeed without a female president. The question is, are they right?&amp;amp;nbsp; Have young women, particularly upper-class college graduates, reached a post-feminist reality where gender politics are off the table?&amp;amp;nbsp; Or are these women fooling themselves?&amp;amp;nbsp; And does this mean African-Americans feel racism more proufoundly than women&amp;amp;nbsp; (or at least this group of women) feel sexism? I can&amp;#x27;t pretend to know the answers.&amp;amp;nbsp; I do know that we women will get nowhere by denigrating each others&amp;#x27; choices.&amp;amp;nbsp; Older women should not question their daughters&amp;#x27; feminist credentials if they choose to vote for Obama.&amp;amp;nbsp; Younger women should not be made to feel that voting for Clinton is uncool or old school. Of course we want dialogue, and it&amp;#x27;s vital for generations of women to talk and discuss the issues that matter most, but can we do it without tearing each other down? Have you gotten into it with your mom or another woman who&amp;#x27;s much older/younger than you? Do you think this election is weakening female unity in America, or is this just a sign that the feminist movement is evolving? How can we stand strong together without resentment during such an important year? &amp;amp;#8212;Rebecca"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
