Hillary Clinton allowed the woman's movement to be set back light years today

[Joe the Revelator]

The video coming out, the things said by her supporters, are going to make it that much harder for a woman to run for president, which is sad. Hillary chose to play "poor little me, I'm just a girl trying to play a man's game" when she needed to protray the strong woman that I truely believe she is.


Her advisers she be banned from politics, and she should apologize for having listened to them.

1. and who's going to get more view on YouTube - crazy lady or Barbara Boxer

asking tough questions in a Senate Foreign Relations or Env. and Pub. Works hearing?

Sigh.

[Botany]

2. Hillary set Hillary back

The women's movement will be fine.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

10. Thank you.

I've never bought into this b.s. of "so and so is an embarrassment to women/the women's movement" blather. One woman does not equal all women or a movement.

[TahitiNut]

13. THAT woman sure doesn't.

:shrug:

[yurbud]

21. amen

[qijackie]

3. Bullshit.

[Writer]

4. Noooooo she did not. Quite the opposite. This is a Pandora's Box opening...

we will be talking about sexism and this campaign quite a lot in the coming years. Guaranteed.

[SwampG8r]

16. only in the context

of it being a failure as a political rallying point

[Blue_Roses]

18. I think you live in a bubble...

pandora's box opened a long time ago--it was called the women's right movement. What we've witnessed with this campaign is not about a woman's right, but about a woman thinking she has the "right" to be president because of her name.

I used to really like Hillary, but I am so disappointed in her now, I loathe her.

5. i'm a woman that supports Obama, and i disagree

[pingzing58]

17. Only weak women support Obama. He's got you in his trance. Go for it girls.

[AZBlue]

6. I agree and I don't.

I think she's been the worst thing to happen to the women's movement since Archie Bunker. Like you said, her "poor pitiful me, men are sooooo mean" routine is counter-productive.

By the same token, I think she has helped the future for women in politics and is one, among others, who will help pave the way for the first female President. There may be a few obstacles ahead for female candidates specifically because of Clinton, but they will not be insurmountable.

7. I think you have a point. The question is going to be asked if female candidates can play by the

rules or will constantly moving the goalposts be the norm if they start losing? Can their word be trusted or do they have the right to change their minds if things don't go their way? Any future female candidate will have to make clear that she is no Hillary.

[Writer]

8. I know - male candidates would NEVER do that! What was she thinking???

[emilyg]

15. Of course male candidates don't do that.

[Thrill]

9. I just don't understand how these folks blame Obama for everything

What did this guy do?

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. NO .... the woman's movement of the past is in the way of the future

which is inclusive to all people, all races, all genders and all generations.

My daughter in her late twenty's is an example of that change.
She is leading woman of her generation in her work by her inclusion
of all people. Believe me, she is a feminist and leader in her own right as her mother is, but
the torch has been past to a new generation and to a new century.

[EFerrari]

14. Well, no. Real movement women were instrumental in imagining

social justice that was inclusive. These wackos who have co-opted some of the language of the women's movement really have nothing to do with the through line.

[Diane R]

12. Agreed. When she holds everyone hostage to her feelings, and essentially throws the china...

...it doesn't help women at all. She's been a terrible role model.

[barack the house]

19. I think that a woman president is just as likely especially if vp, just most likely not Hillary.

[XemaSab]

20. I've been saying that for months

:(

[sandnsea]

22. I think women will be judged independently

and this will help keep us from being stereotyped. Some sensible woman will step out, who can strategize while maintaining a sense of humor about herself, and then everybody will know why Hillary was not the one.

[Political Heretic]

23. Clinton chose all the wrong people to run her campaign. They did her a terrible disservice.

And its a shame because Hillary Clinton could have been been a representative we could all be proud of during this primary. Instead, this process has severely tarnished her reputation.

24. Oh for God's sake, get real! She broke more glass than any other female so far to date in the US
