Dilemma für Demokratische Partei: Wenn der "Krieg gegen die Frauen" vorbei ist, wohin dann mit Hillary Clinton?

Auch die liberale, männerfreundliche Feministin Wendy McElroy kommentiert die Niederlage der Demokraten bei den jüngsten Wahlen zum US-amerikanischen Kongress:

For years, the Democrats' go-to strategy has been to accuse Republicans of conducting a "war on women" and so appeal to its formidable female voting base. The accusation may no longer be a winner. Men are emerging as the new power base that Democrats ignore at great peril. This is especially true if women split their votes between both parties.

(...) If true, the development has profound implications for Hillary Clinton, who is expected to make a 2016 presidential run. Clinton's main perceived advantage is an ability to mobilize women voters through her signature approach of legislating feminism. If this drives men further toward the GOP, however, it may be her main disadvantage.
