From the writings of Peter Daou


So much emotion is tied up in the 2016 election. So many hopes. So much history.

Snip
I’ve spent a decade of my life advocating for Hillary Clinton, working for her, advising her (the privilege of a lifetime), admiring her and doing my best to defend her against some of the most vile insults imaginable.

I’ve done it primarily for the women and girls in my life, because I know the world they live in is a different one from mine and because Hillary has spent her life fighting for their cause, aspiring to maketheir lives better and more just.

Hillary is the tip of the spear, the woman who stands for women, the individual who is willing to endure an intolerable amount of invective in the present to make the world better for the future.

Tonight there was a comment on my Facebook page that helped me understand what Hillary means in the scope of history. My friend Bev wrote:

"When I voted in 2008 for Barack Obama, I was very aware of the people on whose shoulders I was standing. Casting that particular vote felt both sacred and solemn.

When I cast my vote for Hillary Clinton for President, I will be casting a vote for my suffragette great-grandmothers, for my grandmothers who dared to enter male-dominated careers, for my mother who worked globally to bring healthcare to women and equal rights to all people, and for the young women who will stand on my shoulders."

3. This is precisely the thing that began to bring me to her:

Hillary is the tip of the spear, the woman who stands for women, the individual who is willing to endure an intolerable amount of invective in the present to make the world better for the future.

I cannot begin to understand the kind of strength it takes to be the figurehead who withstands the world's fear and hatred of powerful women. I will always have gratitude to her for the role she has taken to make my life, and the life of women who come after me, better.

4. Indeed. All the while Trump, Cruz and the "Rape Fantasy" thinkers all work to lower

..the value of females, & to keep that value all in the same size little boxes for the patriarcy's personal whims.

Appreciate your post Squinch.

7. And we live in a world that doesn't recognize that. I think that is one of the most important

parts of her campaign.

I ALWAYS appreciate your posts, Mister!

Read the Bio of the 12 women on the I-Beam

“The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.” – Gloria Steinem

Meet The 12 Women Of Feminism At Work

Scroll down to:
Woman #1 - Margaret Fuller, through #11 - Hillary Clinton. Woman #12 was designated "future woman", the unknown woman yet to come.
