I'm a Lefty, but a Soft One.

Stephanie Coontz: I was slightly disappointed that it just became a debate about race and about genderin. And i still, the fact is, i'm still a lefty, but a soft one. Just don't have taii flabby, squashy in every senseam. That's not a political point ofew. It is a personal rigt. People are either so personal that it has no application in the outside world... or they're so political, and so much to do with structure and distinction between hierarchies and networks ... They forget the individual," she says.
