Starting in the early 80's or so, women were often given responsibilities that had more to do with their attractiveness than their skills. It wouldn't surprise me if Plame was one of those. I don't blame it all on clintoon - it started before that.

'Facts' was talking about a '90s phenomenon. I don't doubt that some of what you say was true in the '80s, but under the (Hillary)Clinton administration, attractiveness was definitely NOT the desired attribute for women who were promoted beyond their level of competency.

Viz Janet Reno, Donna Shalala, and all the harpies planted in DACOWITS.

That's the point. Plame supposedly was undercover for 20 years. That would make her career starting in the 80's.

I agree that was different. hilliary definitely supported Lesbians who were not necessarily attractive. That was a different variation of the feminist movement.
