Yes. I want a female candidate. [View all]

That does not equate with me not supporting a male candidate.

What I want is for the female candidate to have an equal shake. I do not want her to be driven down by gender bias in the media and in the public.

I want two, three, or even four women to vie for the Democratic nomination. I want them to not be subjected to gender biased smear campaigns. The more women, the merrier. We have a plethora of qualified and excellent candidates.

When all is said, I will support the female candidate over the male candidate if all is equal. Male candidates are given an unfair and undeserved advantage that I will no longer abide by.

But that does not mean that I will not support the male candidate. I have been doing that all of my life. And I'm certain that I will be once again forced to to the same in future elections. But I don't like it. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of terrific female Democrats being dismissed simply because they are women. This gender bais has got to stop.
