.................Here’s the interesting part, to me. They found that young women who have had to deal with discrimination and child care are just as likely to support Hillary as older women.







sexism graph

In fact, at every age group, except for those over 50, Hillary supporters report higher levels of discrimination than Bernie voters. In most age groups, Hillary supporters also report higher levels of child-care responsibilities affecting their lives.

Young women don’t have it easy. They were very hard hit by the recession, and they struggle under the burden of crushing student debt. As they hit the gender gap in pay and suffer from “mommy track” treatment; as they personally experience the financial and career hurdles of sexism, they’re more likely to factor those things as the basis for a valid electoral choice.

And according to this research, they are more likely to become Hillary voters.

[Thinkingabout]

1. Hillary has lived and still lives discrimination against women. She

Knows what it is like to have the doors closed simply because she is a woman.

[silvershadow]

2. That's why the Clinton Foundation has a serious pay equity issue ongoing. nt

[Buzz Clik]

26. Curious.

Link?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

13. yes yes yes - they will not open the door until - the 1/4 million dollar check is ready

3. It's About Her POLICIES

I liked this comment that was on the original story.

I don't support Clinton because her POLICIES are worse for all women. Electing her in and of itself will do nothing to help women. That's the trickle down female empowerment argument.

It's not about having the right genitals, it's about removing artificial barriers to success like lack of access to education or a living wage. How are women supposed to better themselves when their wage doesn't cover childcare costs when they want to work full time (Bernie supports a $15 min wage) and they can't afford college tuition (Bernie supports subsidized higher education)? Sanders is running on a platform of addressing institutionalized inequality, which is what stands in the way of women and minorities performing to their full potential.

I support Sanders because I am a feminist and I want ALL women to have an equal playing field, not just wealthy white women who want to get to the next level.

6. Maybe you should look into her policies and record

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/02/hillary-clinton-women-213649

before supporting the man who:

1. does not consider abortion a high-priority issue
https://www.dissentmagazine.org/blog/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-abortion

2. and has zero women among the top ten highest-paid staffers on his campaign.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

8. Ahaha

You are aware your link says Sanders pays women more then men?

[athena]

16. Not statistically significant.

Here is an explanation I posted of this. It seems to go over the heads of those who don't understand what "statistically significant" means.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1607526

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

18. So you think Sanders should pay women more than men?

Isn't equality about paying being statistically significantly equal? Isn't Sanders practicing equality in his organization since men and women are paid basically the same wages regardless of gender...



Where has your poutrage been over the revelation the Clinton Foundation paid women a statistically significant amount of money less than men (in line with the national average of 79 cents on the dollar)

[athena]

22. He has zero women among his top ten staffers.

You didn't bother to read my post, did you? Because I never made the argument you claim I made.

Zero women among the top ten highest paid staffers is not a statistical fluctuation. That is discrimination, pure and simple.

As for pay rate, both Hillary and Bernie appear to pay men and women equally on average, although one would have to see the details before concluding that this is the case. I explained this clearly in the post I linked.

[beam me up scottie]

24. She's been told that before but facts don't matter to Hillary supporters.

[noretreatnosurrender]

10. Very familiar

with her varied stances on policy and very familiar with her character.

[athena]

21. Yet you can't actually explain how Bernie is better for women than Hillary.

You ignore the content of my post and claim you are "very familiar" with Hillary's policies. If so, please go ahead and explain, with specifics, why you believe Bernie would be better on women's issues than men, when his record on these issues is practically non-existent compared to Hillary's lengthy record of involvement.

Saying that a rising tide lifts all boats won't fly. Minorities have known for a long time that a rising tide seems to lift the dominant majority's boats much more than the minority's boats.

Those of us who believe Hillary is much better on women's issues have shown the evidence on which we base this belief. If you want to tell us we're wrong, please provide some evidence. Otherwise, your claims are baseless.

[beam me up scottie]

25. No you haven't, last time you said Bernie never sponsored any pro-women legislation.

That wasn't true.

Then you claimed he paid his women staffers less than men and that wasn't true.

Now you expect us to just take your word for it?

Hillary's record on triangulation when it comes to civil rights for minorities and women is well known, that's why we don't trust her.

[beam me up scottie]

23. Like her agreeing that she would compromise on abortion?

[athena]

4. I think that a lot of young women who now support Sanders

will feel differently in ten years. Many of them will even claim they voted for Hillary and supported her from the start.

Sexism is mostly theoretical when you're in your twenties; it seems like something you can sidestep by refusing to fit the traditional female stereotype. It's in your thirties that you realize it's not something any woman can "opt out" of, that it has hurt you and will never stop hurting you.

[apcalc]

7. I was thinking this too.

Also I have been thinking quite a bit about how far we have come ( tho not far enough) .

Thank goodness for women like Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinham, and yes, Hilllary Clinton, for paving the way for equality.

There is still much to do.

[noretreatnosurrender]

12. Young Women

aren't rejecting feminism, they are rejecting Hillary.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. You just can't beat BNR

They are the best.

[jmg257]

9. Great - another partisan BNR Hillary Hack writing a glowing opinion piece. Surprise!!

NERVE: Self-Appointed Bernie Purists Sit in Judgment of Legendary Activists
CALCULUS: The NRA Spent Thousands to Get Bernie Elected — Then He Voted With Them
OUTBURST: Bernie Angrily Lectures Sandy Hook Families About Hillary
GRATITUDE: I’m With Hillary Because Obamacare Saved My Life
UNITY: Hillary Has 20 Percent More Dem Votes than Trump Has Republicans
Bernie Sanders Gets Gender Equality Painfully Wrong
Bernie Accuses Hillary of Using President Obama as a Pawn

I Figured Out Something About Hillary
I was so moved when I watched the powerful new video featuring Bill Clinton talking

[djean111]

15. I am a 70 year old woman, experienced tremendous gender discrimination - was a female

programmer when there were very few of those.

I don't support Hillary because of her penchant for war, fracking, the TPP, meddling in other countries militarily and politically, her Third Way weaseling about Social Security and health care. Her being a woman means nothing, next to those things. I would not support a man who was on her side of those issues; to think I would support a Third Way hawk because of gender is insulting.

[beam me up scottie]

17. Brock Nation Review spinning data about sexism? Seriously? Brock?

Face it, young women aren't buying the Hillary hype and no amount of insulting or exploitation from her personal media outlet is going to change that.

[riversedge]

19. Try looking at the source before you post to avoid foolish posts.

[beam me up scottie]

20. Foolish is expecting people to take Hillary's Bagdad Bob and tweets from sycophants seriously.

[northernsouthern]

27. So whaaat about the women that Hillary has discriminated against

Just wondering if they are taking in to account all those women in hell, and such.

[Demsrule86]

28. Darn right

We watched her be criticized for pantsuits,hair, tone-you name it...she is being attacked by misogynists and still standing strong...
