(68,586 posts)to ruin a moment I have waited for my entire life...the first woman nominee for president from a major party. I would say most women have been sexually harassed...and paid less too. We were bargains. I worked hard to graduate college...put myself through college...and then was told by a bank where I applied for a job that I had to be a bank teller-"all the girls start out that way". However, that less qualified guy who had a lower GPA than I did and made mistakes on the employment test administered by the bank would go into management training. I had attained 100%. Over the year, several bosses remarked about how I was a 'bargain'...I could do the job and they could pay me less because I was a woman. I know what it is to need a job and have some guy attempt to blackmail you into sex. I refused and found another job, but my family suffered economically. Well, Hillary winning the Democratic nomination won't stop sexism any more than electing Pres. Obama stopped racsim, but it's progress...damned fine progress. I am very proud of Hillary Clinton and support her completely. She is a fine person and will be a great president. What is that sound? Why it is Hillary shattering the glass ceiling.

(30,481 posts)The first woman to secure the nomination of a major party and they are acting like there are no longer rules.
This is how their mentality works.
The nomination for President will not be known in November. The EC will yet to have been finalized.
Even funnier. The people at Sanders rallies have yet to vote. I see nothing but a see of people being turned off to him at his rallies. Those in attendance at his rallies will almost all vote Clinton.
How do they hold this mindset. It's not based in reality.
