Angilion Male, 40-49, Europe 9554 Posts	Wednesday, May 2, 2012 5:13:18 PM I totally agree that you should be able to take on anyone as a role model, regardless of appearance...however, I think it's important psychologically for little girls (and boys!) to see someone that looks like them succeeding and it doesn`t hurt to teach your kids about it. I think it does, because it relies on teaching them that all people of the same sex are basically the same and that all people of the same "race" are basically the same, that sex and "race" are the defining characteristics of a person. That is a required assumption in order to see everyone of the same sex and "race" and only people of the same sex and "race" as being "people like me" or even just "people who look like me". What makes the "looks like me" even sillier is ignoring age. An adult doesn`t look like a young child. Even the same person doesn`t look the same as an adult as they did when they were a young child.

She`s a lawyer in her own right, attended Princeton and Harvard, campaigned tirelessly for her husband and has now taken an active role against childhood obesity in America. The wives of the presidential candidates play a huge role in your public relations and she did an amazing job.
