it is illogical to be mad at the lucky and talented upstart who thinks and plays outside the box. I won't argue that resentment is ever logical. It's an emotional reaction that in this case is being effectively rationalized. I wasn't trying to justify it, only explain it to someone who clearly doesn't understand it and is conflating it with other threads running through the story, like race. This whole argument only works in "games" with set rules. I don't even know that the dues-paying rules that Ferraro bought were ever really the rules. They may have been a ploy to keep women of her era in their place. And if they were then the honest-to-goodness rules, rules change. I think her resentment is unwarranted, but I also think that it's understandable. At least I think I understand it.
