What does Susan Sarandon's remark, "you can't just vote your vagina" in
distancing from Christine Quinn mean?
I'm often startled with, and at the same time enjoy finding unordinary
expressions and quotes in Maureen Dowd's column in New York Times. But I
batted my eyes when I saw the actress, Susan Sarandon's line, "You can't
just vote your vagina," Dowd quoted in her August 20 NYT article under the
title, "Bill's turns at bat."

"Bill de Blasio, the 52-year-old public advocate has spent the last few
days surrounded by the liberal glitterati of New York: Cynthia Nixon and
her wife; "Boardwalk Empire" king Steve Buscemi; and ping-pong queen Susan
Sarandon, who said she decided not to support Christine Quinn because "you
can't just vote your vagina."
I'm confounded with the word; "vagina" being used in reference to vote and
political decision and made by a female celebrity. What on the earth does
it mean? Does it mean you can't vote for someone simply because of the
candidate being the same sex?
Does such kind of remark, "you can't just vote your vagina" pass as a
matter of course rhetric being made in public today?
