12. Just one of MANY reasons she's the right person for the job

I'll admit, as a female of a certain age (I can see 60 from my house) it's a big issue. It's time.
I used to work with some Republicans who of course discussed politics at work all day and they were dripping with disdain over HRC and Nancy Pelosi. So obvious that a huge part of their sneering dismissal of these women was the fact that they were, indeed, women who dared to have power and use it.
Whenever my RWNJ "friends" on FB post their anti-HRC crap it somehow always mentions her "cankles" or other sexist bullshit. (Somehow Trump is never criticized for the spray tan or combover!) Always a reminder that in their shallow world, a woman's worth is only in her
looks. And HRC is beautiful, inside and out.
I want the world to be above this garbage once and for all, too late for me but for my little granddaughter. I can't wait to tell her that for the first time a lady, just like her, is going to be President of the United States.
I truly hope that HRC can finally achieve passage of the ERA. She can be a living reminder that the POTUS does not have equal rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
