About-face

I love the contrast between these two Feministing posts mentioning the election of Laura Chinchilla as the first female president of Costa Rica.

Right after the election, Jessica rejoices:

Costa Rica elected its first female president by a landslide!

Then the excitement quickly drains as Samhita discovers that Chincilla doesn’t share Feministing’s view on abortion and claims Chinchilla “doesn’t really like women.”
