Joe Biden Is Everyman—and That's the Problem

I've been rather agnostic whether it's time for a female president until Joe Biden announced his run for the presidency. Then, all of a sudden, it hit me: I'm done with looking up to old white men.

I didn't expect to make such a blanket statement, but Biden was the tipping point.

He's not a bad guy (though that Average Joe thing doesn't charm everybody), but his recent apology to Anita Hill drove me over the edge. Not only was it unconvincing, but it highlighted how male leaders are essentially clueless about what women deal with in the workplace and the world at large. Simply put: You can't teach old goats new tricks.
