...only an unknown political entity, he's not even on the ballot in the first election for this seat, a special election to complete Bill Emerson's term. Adding insult to electoral injury, the state's two G.O.P. Senators have endorsed Emerson's widow. Still, this prickly individualist, who refuses to divulge his birthplace and educational history because they "are not required by the Constitution," has built a platform around Christianity, a flat tax and prayer, which he will surely need in the second (general) election...

These "equality" or "individualist" feminists hold to the ideals of treating men and women the same way, as human beings, rather than calling for legislation that enshrines the alleged difference of women, as "gender" or "difference" feminists have done...
