(50,254 posts)even though she'd have power for a longer period(and be able to be MORE progressive) than she'd have or be as president.
The only thing I can think of is that some of them want to see a female president order military invasions of more countries.
It's not like having MORE wars could ever be progressive or feminist(and attacking Iran certainly couldn't ever be either).
REAL feminists are antiwar.

(50,254 posts)Clearly, he's not, and whatever else you could say about him, his record on women's issues has been indistinguishable from what HRC's would have been as president(and, in fact, might be somewhat better, since HRC would have KILLED more Iraqi women by keeping the war there going like she wanted to).

She's a woman who has fought to get into the big boy games in politics, so she's a good person to point out that part.

(50,254 posts)Banter is one thing, but this implies a disagreement that everybody knows didn't exist.
Whatever you can say about Obama, you really can't argue that he's been any less pro-woman as president than HRC would have been. And you could, probably, argue that she might have been LESS pro-woman, given that her foreign policy would have kept us fighting on in Iraq indefinitely(and we might not even be getting out of Afghanistan in 2014)and since that would have led to MORE Afghan and Iraqi women being killed, there couldn't have been anything good for that gender in either of those things.

(22,920 posts)I definitely didn't view this as slamming Obama in any way, nor that he is against woman at all.
It was just a funny comment a woman made to a male friend; they just happen to be POTUS and SoS.
These "Hillary texting" graphics always crack me up though.
