These articles on election teach us about gender by explaining how men speak to one another about other females. It also explains how other females talk about other females because they want to gain more power. Men are only looking for women to impress them so that then they can go talk about us. White males are holding all the power and they want to keep it that way which is why they go after woman and don't want anyone to take their power away from them.

Electing black women into office seems absurd for a lot of candidates and people. The idea of gender gap is what holds men and women apart because of their different political views. Women became very involved in politics and were actually the majority of voters in the 1980 election. They had distinct opinions on politics and they wanted to make change so they were using their voices. Men obviously didn't like this because women are "inferior" to them and they don't want them to have as much power. Which is why there are so many gender issues within the elections. This also relates to the Christensen article that we did about gender roles.


These articles relate to the article about gender inequality we did in class and also about the differences between race. There shouldn't be these gender gaps because men and women are all people just think differently and it is useful to hear other's opinions.
