I've disowned Erica Jong from feminism. Don't ask me how I got that authority but I've done it for the sake of the movement. At best she's ignorant about how both candidates fought prejudice. At worst she's just a racist asshole. People like her were putting me in a bad place until you linked to shakesville (and I just recently read the essay where that name--Shakespeare's Sister--came from. It was on point.)
It's a good site. Sometimes I think they're missing perspective but on the whole they try not to be...whatever Erica Jong is. The comments might be another story.
How old is Jong though? Maybe she thinks she won't live to see one, although I disagree. More and more women are entering political prime time. It's only a matter of time and I doubt it'll be 20+ years.
Not even going to read it. Too early to get pissed.
