60. Not this older woman.
Wed Jun 3, 2015, 01:58 PM
Jun 2015

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I've also lived through what was demoralizing then and illegal now (at least in California) in terms of sexual harassment and even assault in the workplace, including as a single parent (before it was more or less "acceptable" by today's standards, which it still isn't to some) - and this older woman is for Bernie all the way.

Gender issues are very important but are far from being the only issues, especially today. Bernie's strongly on the same page there, anyway. A feminist does not have to be female.
