Is this political?

I know, I said no more political posts but I have bright young people on my flist who post stuff in their journals that just need to be seen, so I'm passing this along.

I think I mentioned Gloria Steinem's editorial in one of my previous posts (and if I didn't, I should have). tressiemc posted about a debate between Steinem and Melissa Harris-Lacewell, an African-American professor at Princeton about gender and race in politics. Gloria comes off a tad "patriarchal," IMO.

Urg, forget about embedding the video. If you want, you can watch it here.

A transcript of the debate is here (scroll down).
