...Larson ’05 is right on one point in her recent column (“Glass Ceilings and Hypocrisy,” Nov. 21): “relentless gender politicking” has overshadowed Carol Moseley Braun’s presidential campaign. However, it is the media, Larson included, that has engaged in this unceasing emphasis on gender. Ambassador Braun has brought her innovative and exciting message for a better America through single-payer health care, sweeping civil rights advances, logical tax policy, and a global, cooperative foreign policy across the country.

While female political equality is certainly a worthy cause—one I care about deeply myself—this should not be the central focus of her presidential platform. By ceaselessly distinguishing herself by her gender rather than her positions, she damages her own candidacy and undermines the legitimacy of other women who choose to run for president in the future...
