Tribute to Hillary Clinton
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029579008
Adapted from an excerpt of the speech "Citizenship in a Republic", given by Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne in Paris, France 23 April 1910.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong woman stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends herself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
------------
To the ages of women who stood toe to toe against the patriarchy, as they mocked & snickered and played their game of how far they could out-do each other in their mysoginy, and belittling of women as their sexual inferiors, who brag & pen their putrid thoughts about grabbing & raping & over powering.
The men who belong to the club that applauds this as though some honor has been won, some right they feel they own like a pitiful right of superiority.
To the ages of women who still to this day never stop walking forward.
To the women who stand in the face of shouts & mocking and never shut up & never ever go away.
Those are the great heroines of the ages.
HERE, to bookmark and pass along:
These are leaders, the women who stood for all sisters who birthed the world.
Who's wisdom saw the injustice of equality, spoke out bravely to human rights & handed that mighty torch forward, all in spite of the limiting demands of the bloated egos of patiarchal men.
