Lots of cheers about Obama's win

because he's the first minority with a chance at the White House.

Doesn't it bother anyone that the majority doesn't have a chance at the White House?
Which majority? The female majority.

I've never heard a black man say that he doesn't believe 'black man' are capable of being President.
But women frequently say the a woman isn't right for the job (not just HRC but the concept of a woman).

Women are oppressed in virtually every society on this planet. They are beaten, raped, sold, and even stoned to death because they are not staying in their correct space and properly subservient to their male masters.

So if a black male (8% of US population) wins the White House.... Big surprise (NOT!!!).
But if a female (51% of the US population) wins the White House....that would be an advance for the human race.
