I've recently heard it claimed, mostly by men, that women are the primary beneficiaries of Affirmative Action. I know that none of my friends nor I have ever benefited from Affirmative Action, so I think that's revisionist history to make people think that women of my era didn't achieve success through their own hard work and by forcing themselves through the glass ceiling, with the scars to prove it.

To that end, I want the best VP, not the woman VP. I find it insulting that Biden said he wanted to choose a woman, not the best. IMO it makes women look like we need a hand up to achieve great things, and we sure as hell don't.
