Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
AOL News reports that at a speech on Sunday, Hillary Clinton quoted Eleanor Roosevelt saying, "A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she is in hot water."
I like the sentiment of that quote, but I'm not so sure I agree with it. I can definitely judge the strength of a tea bag just by nosing it - no water required.
If you were Hillary, what food would you compare women to in order to help your campaign?
My answer: A woman is like a bowl of beans - she'll be with you for the long haul! Maybe there is a reason I'm a food blogger and not a campaign speech writer.

"Hilary Clinton is like a second helping of deep stuffed New York style pizza. All those oozey cheese looked good and appealed to me when I ate it, but turned out not to be a very good idea, later on. The Chicago style pizza ended up being a much better choice."

You probably won't like any of these:
"A woman is like coffee beans. You have to put her under fire and subject her to pressure to find out what she can become."
"A woman is like hot chocolate with cayenne pepper. She's sweet, she's spicy, and she'll cause you agonizing pain but you'll just want more."
"A woman is like yogurt. She should be full of culture."
"A woman is like fugu. People think she's poisonous, but she's actually very mild. And then the tingling starts."

As a male who has worked hard to help end gender based discrimination, I urge women not to look for the slight, but take responsibility for allowing people to be people and move on to important things. The of comments from women being overly sensitive goes a long way in explaining why Hillary is the only serious female presidential candidate in American history. Seriously. That someone may wish to use this forum to bash Hillary is not in and of itself, sexist. Frankly, she opened the door for these with her clumsy choice of words. Yet if she choose to be as as sensitive as some who have responded, she would have been toast a long time ago. If you support her candidacy, support her, don't drag her down by weighting her your hypersensitivity.

Isn't it clear from my admittedly lame post (which was in response to post #4 which now appears out of order, oddly enough) that I voted for HC early on, but now wish I had voted otherwise? That makes it a gender issue, how exactly...? "Assumes facts not in evidence, counsel."
