John Kasich is Mr. Nice Guy, who is never trying to offend men and women who are satisfied with life in a known territory. But he got a compact egg on his face when he fondly remembered women in Ohio, who “emerged from their kitchen” to work for him at the beginning of his career.
He paints the memory of good things in the past, his first race to the Senate of the State of Ohio, in shades of Sepia, long before women “leaned” professionally in the office, but he remembered what it means to bend over the scorching stove. “How was I chosen?” One day he asked himself rhetorically at a rally of the campaign. “We just left the army of people, and many women left the kitchens to get out and go from door to door and raise the chassis signatures for me.”
Not so long ago it would not be a brave tribute to the industry of women celebrated in the feminist hymn (“I am a woman, listen to me roar”) in an era just in the past. But in the era of internet and cable television it is Gaffe, he played over and over again, with the voice of the injured woman in the audience who said that she would support the governor again, but she would not leave the kitchen.
Women’s policy is not what she once was, and the way women say they want to be seen have undergone a radical change. Picture of a ecstatic housewife in a white apron, spending an afternoon baking oatmeal for children, welcoming her husband with exceptionally dried martini, when she emerges from the kitchen with soap and sauces that her husband sells to support their exclusive lifestyle disappeared with “crazy men” presented in the television series. Despite the elite of gourmets and the spread of organic, gluten -free supermarkets, today’s feminists do not want to be associated with the kitchen, unless it is something in great cooking. Suffle would fall flat as a pancake if the chef abandoned the kitchen to put the yard sign.
Governor Kasich wandered into the warp time. He must refresh the label if he wants to talk about women – and he didn’t call them better. The awards of women’s voters now depend on something sheltered to speak, such as ethnic origin, age, marital status and economic class. The governor is not alone in the intersection of politically correct snipers. Pollsters and experts are frantically trying to come up with modern categories suitable for learning how Freud put in a different context, “what women want.”
Among the democrats, younger women are inspired by the socialist “revolution” of Berni Sanders. Older women prefer a familiar feminist rhetoric of Clinton. Various sex gaps can become republican holes as unsafe as Washington streets after the brutal winter of snow and ice. Mitt Romney won the huge majority of both white women and white men in 2012, but lost both black and Latin men and women and paid the price.
The elections in November will change the landscape again, and depending on who takes, the images will be crucial, if not always from a strictly feminist perspective. Clinton is worried that Marco Rubio has closed a sufficient number of Latin voters to get the ethnic majority that favored Barack Obama so much. Rubio was the age of John F. Kennedy when he was elected in 1960, which did not lose voters who listen to his caded rhetoric and youthful intelligence. Cameras love his perfect Latin family, just like the photogenic Irish charm of JFK seduced them.
Lonely women are the latest cohort of voting radar. The percentage of American women with husbands fell below 50 percent in 2009, historical low level. This statistics include that never mussels, as well as widowed, divorced and separated, the number swollen by older women who survived their husbands.
The number of adults under 34 years of age, who never married, increased to 46 percent, which is an augment of 12 percent in a decade. This promotes liberals, observes Rebecca Traister in New York. Lonely women say, “they have a set of needs that the government did not meet.” They think that they see these needs of answers in Sanders’s positive and naive socialism; Clinton, tired of proposing “pragmatism with combat”, must raise the bookmark for a decade of his party’s failure towards women’s expectations.
On the other hand, Republicans refer to economic growth and reducing business regulations and burdens, enabling them to create jobs for both men and women. Women’s life matters, just like men. The requirements of a lonely woman are fate for both Republicans and Democrats. Whoever wins in November may depend on who stands best in this abandoned kitchen.
