5. Dean and Women's Issues |
|
Dean would suprise the hell out of me on women's issues. It wasn't that he made such a big deal about them (other than abortion and the like), but rather that comments would come rolling off his tongue that made me KNOW that he is a feminist through and through. There's no mere lip service to women's issues, it's not somethig he has to think about, or remind himself to cover -- in fact he didn't cover these things nearly enough, but when he did, when they came up in questions or at other times, he simply IS a femimist. Period.
Blew me away, repeatedly. And of course, his comments were always delivered in that matter-of-fact, "this is the way it is and so there's really no argument about it or need to discuss it further" characteristic way that I love so much.
