womens equal pay? minimum wage? yes helps minorities and women. and still, they are not social justice. i think that is where so many are not getting it.

for example. when sanders was talking about free college. it was said a feminist position, which i disagreed. it is an economic position and ya, women benefit. but, feminism would come into play if he had addressed the new study that came out the same time about the rapes to freshman and the problem with administration.

then, we women know he hears us.

do you see the difference that i am saying?

i have tried to express to you in different ways. i keep hoping that at some point there will be an understanding. we havent gotten there yet.

also, i think it would help him and his campaign.
