See how things have changed, however, especially in national politics? All an opportunistic woman now has to do is sign up to run for president, wave her 2016 Woman Card and stand back as half of the American population blindly lines up to support her.


And I believe many of her supporters believe that this should be what happens, and if it does not - we are misogynists. As a woman who does not support Hillary, I have been told I merely have issues with Strong Women and/or mommy issues. No, I have issues with stuff like war and fracking, but that is swept aside as of no real importance.
