Since the '60s, since Stokely, since The only position for women in SNCC is prone, the argument has been a masculinist one, that the political is not personal, and that human rights, genocide intervention and the like fall into what they like to call soft policy areas.
The feminist argument, it seems to me, has always been that the personal is the political and cannot exist without it.
Two persuasive examples from the NYT today.
( Bob Dole scuttles Clinton's 1994 health care reform even though he has always firmly espoused it )
( Nitze scuttles SALT 2 by leaking misinformation, leading to Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, simply to spite a personal enemy, Warnke )
