In reply to the discussion: How many women here are Bernie supporters? [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)and am the mother of daughters, only daughters, no sons. My great-aunts were working women before it was fashionable. My mother believed strongly in rights for women. I attended women's liberation meetings in the early 1970s and considered myself a liberated woman in the 1960s. Nevertheless, I did not overcome cultural, class and familial biases to enter the profession that was really right for me until I was 50. So I know how much prejudice against women and the idea that the woman is the housewife while the man is the bread-earner can prevent women from fulfilling their potential.
100% for women and a Bernie Sanders supporter. I trust Bernie to deal with discrimination issues.
I don't trust the other candidates to do that effectively -- not so far.
