Just look at all thats happened in the last few days to women who were simply doing their job, she said. April Ryan, a respected journalist with unrivaled integrity, was doing her job just this afternoon in the White House press room when she was patronized and cut off trying to ask a question. One of your own California congresswomen, Maxine Waters, was taunted with a racist joke about her hair.
Now too many women, especially women of color, have had a lifetime of practice taking precisely these kinds of indignities in stride, Clinton said. But why should we have to? And any woman who thinks this couldnt be directed at her is living in a dream world.

Hillary 'sees' me. She 'sees' me. When so many people do not - she does.
