On the eve of Election 2016, it may be prudent to look at this presidential race through the lens of gender, especially since it has been overlooked so far (arguably).
Donald Trump is a finance wizard but not very socially conscious (or for that matter eco-intuitive). Hillary Clinton is a controversial female politician but is very savvy when it comes to diplomacy (and for that matter eco-profiling).
So here's a mock dialogue (to get ideas going) between Shiva (Hindu god of destruction) and Kali (Hindu goddess of rage), and obviously, Shiva represents Trump and Kali represents Hillary (for argument's sake).
====
SHIVA (Trump): You're eco-paranoid, because you're a woman!
KALI (Clinton): Perhaps Election 2016 will prove that women are more sensitive.
SHIVA: Men are cognizant of industrialization-related eco-pollution too.
KALI: Perhaps, but it is evident that you (Trump) have a very myopic eco-platform.
SHIVA: I'll deal with environmental science if I'm actually elected.
KALI: Why should the people believe you?
SHIVA: Eco-management is intelligent for businessmen of the modern age.
KALI: Yet, you clearly have stated that eco-concerns are not your concern.
SHIVA: That's not because I'm a chauvinistic male; it's because we have other issues.
KALI: Such as?
SHIVA: Such as NATO, ISIS, and the EU.
KALI: And will you fight ISIS's chemical weapons while ignoring eco-pollution?
SHIVA: Is this a gender debate inferencing pure philosophy?
KALI: No; I'm merely suggesting that America needs a 'woman's touch.'
SHIVA: Hey, Aztec women were cannibals too.
KALI: Alright, but there is too much bias for management and insufficient empathy for labor!
