Women are not taken as seriously in society as they deserve. Gloria Steinem brings up a valid argument in Women are Never Front-Runners. Her stance on racism is not correct, it is still an issue.
Gloria seems to complain that black men should not have had the vote before white women. This is making an argument for her stance, however, it seems racist. The article’s argument is that racism is less of an issue than women’s rights. This proves that racism is just as much of an issue as women’s rights today.
The article brings a good argument that women’s rights are behind in American society; women are just as intelligent as men and can help society. Gloria wrote, “this country can no longer afford to choose our leaders from a talent pool limited by sex, race, money, powerful fathers and paper degrees.” This is truly what our country needs but, Gloria needs to listen to herself. In the final sentence she says, “I’m supporting her because she’ll be a great president and because she’s a women.” Gloria has been discussing how we need to break gender barriers, this last comment makes one feel that maybe the barriers shouldn’t be broken but changed, to support women.
