    The main topics of chapters one through 4 in the book Democrats, Republicans and the Politics of Women are that gender plays a large part in politics and how people make partisan decisions. The chapters also cover how the two political parties differ in their stances on different gender issues. I really liked Sanbonmatsu’s differentiation between gender equality and role change. I found this to be an interesting separation that helped me understand and better categorize my already existing knowledge of how gender politics and opinions about gender equality worked. I really enjoyed most of the findings of the first four chapters…

    In the document 185, there were inflammatory elements that angered Buchanan in the 1960s. He states in his speech that Mr. Clinton supported unrestricted abortion on demand, pro-homosexuality, and school choice, but only for state run schools, not for private or parochial institutions. Pat Buchanan underscored in his speech, “Friends, this is radical feminism. The agenda Clinton & Clinton would impose on America–abortion on demand, a litmus test for the Supreme Court, homosexual rights, discrimination against religious schools, women in combat–that’s change, all right.” I submit that Buchanan’s speech doomed Clinton in the 1992 election because he pointedly identified Clinton’s egregious flaws.…
