Geraldine Ferraro undermining gender equality

Geraldine Ferraro approves of Sarah Palin because she has two X chromosomes, and she thinks some of Hillary Clinton’s supporters will flock to the McCain-Palin ticket because McCain picked a female VP:

(If you don’t want to watch the video, which has bad sound, Fox has posted an article by Ms. Ferraro here.)

I suppose I should give Ms. Ferraro credit for being un-apologetically devoted to her cause—getting women in positions of power, regardless of the qualifications or political beliefs of the woman in question. I’m nonetheless disgusted that, in 2008, she still believes that gender is more important than policy. In the same way that affirmative action policies undermine racial equality, nonsense like this is undermining the very movement Ms. Ferraro claims to have supported all these years.

(Thanks to FoundingBloggers, where I found the video. If I ever remember who pointed me there, I’ll thank them too.)
