Hillary’s Hawkishness Out of Sync With Women’s Concerns

illary Clinton’s “woman’s card” campaign strategy is demeaning to women. She exploits grievance and group-think identity politics to serve her personal and political agendas and sometimes to shield herself from appropriate scrutiny. Not even Nancy Pelosi or Dianne Feinstein focuses on “gender” as cynically as she does.

She seems to assume she speaks for all women. But women, like men, hold diverse opinions. In fact, the views of many of us are completely at odds with hers.

For example, most women yearn for peace and stability. They are not enamored of costly wars that put loved ones at risk while doing nothing to enhance security. For all of our recent military involvements abroad, we do not regard ourselves as more secure.

2. It's a matter of maintaining the economy of high profit margin military production

Corporations invested in producing armaments, call them "swords" - If swords were turned into "plowshares" those investors would be very unhappy.

The same thing applies to health insurance. The whole nation's health must be held hostage to investors, especially international investors.

4. Says a writer who is attempting to speak for all women.

No doubt, many women disagree with her, just as many women disagree with Hillary Clinton.

There's a missing modifier in the article's and in several places in the body of the article.

When we attempt to speak for others in a general, all-inclusive way, we always fail.

Women, in large numbers, appear to be supporting Hillary Clinton's candidacy. Are they stupid? Are they confused? That's what this author appears to be saying.

5. So a member of the Reagan admin spins and 'speaks for all women'?
