2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: A slightly more nuanced take on whether Hillary Clinton is "establishment" [View all]BlueMTexpat
(15,369 posts)to us? Sometimes women can be very bit as misogynistic towards other women as men and sometimes even worse. Your post shows that the years and years of constant smears against Hillary have left their mark. You have bought into them.
I have been on the front line for women's equal treatment since the day in my high school science class when I was told that my grade - even though my marks were higher than almost every male in my class - would be a B instead of an A. The idea was that there could only be a certain number of As in the course. The As were reserved for males because all of us females were simply "going to get married and have babies" and the males would need the good marks because they were destined for university. That occurred in the 1950s. Even up into the 1970s in the US, those of us who were women teachers had to resign our teaching posts if we became pregnant - with no guarantee that we would get our jobs back - no matter how well-qualified or good we were.
I would bet that you never experienced those eras, but have benefited from the programs and policies that women ALL fought for on the ground then, and you now assume that the job is done. Has the GOP "War on Women" taught you nothing?
Do you actually think that we who are HRC supporters and are women support Hillary simply because she is a woman? You have got to be kidding.
By any objective measure, Hillary is the most qualified candidate of all in this 2016 election. Hands down!
I am very proud to stand with Hillary ALL the way to the WH.
