I totally agree with the article as well. Women are more critical of each other. You see them undercutting each other in the workplace more so than men. Why?

I agree with Gloria that women are afraid of seeming biased if they support Hillary. It's funny, so far I've been pretty quiet about supporting Hillary because I know that because most everyone knows me as a liberal feminist, they will assume I'm only supporting her because she's a woman and thus not take my choice seriously. But, I'm starting to feel like, so what if I want to support her just because she's a woman -- I'm pretty excited to see what one can do in the White House, in the spirit of de Tocqueville's philosophy and my own. (Obviously, if she wasn't qualified I wouldn't support her, but she seems to me to be the most qualified.)

I do think the fact Hillary did poorly with younger women in Iowa is a sign that there is a feminist back lash going on in this country, which has worsened with conservatives in the White House. Over the last 10 years there's been a decrease in women keeping their last names upon marriage. And, in my own world, I've watched every last one of my girlfriends quit her high paying and/or highly successful job to be a full time stay at home mom indefinitely. It's mind boggling. It seems women in my generation have stopped caring that we aren't there yet. Or, more frightening -- they think we are there. If we never elect a woman, if we don't stand up for our basic dignities (e.g. keeping our identities) -- why should any male employer see us as equal when it comes time to pay us? Gloria is right -- it's absolutely unacceptable in the modern world to be racist, but all these "little" instances of sexism barely get a second glance. When someone says they think women need to follow a certain tradition or stay within a particular role, others say they are just being "traditional" or "old" or "old fashioned" -- but what if we said blacks should stay in a particular role and not go near others? Obviously THAT is totally unacceptable. Both types of prejudice need to be seen as equally outlandish.

agreed. see while i'm still single, i've decided to not give up who i am and what i want to do with my life, even after getting married and having kids. men don't have to give that up, why should i? marriage is a relationship of equality, and now with paternity leaves, you better believe my "prince charming" is going to stay home to take care of the family too. after all, what better way to teach your kids about equal responsibility across genders, and individual self-worth, than through your own examples. many women our age are so disillusioned with attained equal footing, equal power, equal roles, that they forget that feminists are the ones that got the ball rolling on it...
