Related: About this forumHillary Clinton and the Gender Card
"In February of this year, while on the campaign trail in New Hampshire for former Secretary of State Clinton, Albright condescendingly chided and challenged women, especially the young who were rallying to Sen. Bernie Sanders: You have to help. Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember, theres a special place in Hell for women who dont help each other.
Hillary Clinton is clearly expecting the votes of many women who believe she is entitled to become President because it is time. While I agree that it is well past time for a woman to be President, I disagree that it should be Hillary Clinton. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., reminded us that people should not be judged by external factors (whether the color of their skin or, in this case, their gender) but by the content of their character.
Hillary Clintons record as Secretary of State makes it unmistakably clear that like her hawkish predecessor Albright she lacks the level-headedness, vision, and, yes, compassion without which the countrys top diplomat or (even more importantly) the commander in chief can be outright dangerous."

(1,603 posts)Hillary does not really want gender equality. How on Earth would she campaign if she did not have the gender card to play? In the quarter century she has been in public service, she has had ample time to address it.
