A good account of the male perspective and media bias. Joseph Campbell's claim about women not being able to make the heroes journey is unfortunately not limited to mythology.

Their differences lie primarily in personality and style; and the media, while highlighting Barack Obama's incredible charm and charisma, are demonizing Hillary Clinton. As pointed out in this article her strength's are most often ignored.
