Shame on anyone who shames a woman, strong or otherwise, for showing us that she is a woman with feelings that aren't always saving the planet and with thoughts that make us slightly uncomfortable because they're vengeful.

I remember reading Katha Pollitt's New Yorker essay a few years back and thinking how proud I was that someone of such power could admit to such vulnerability and weakness. I know that a vast majority of the world has experienced love and heartbreak and all its crazy, attendent emotions. We're not rational souls when we love. Pollitt gave voice to that.

She's real. It's why I feel her convictions underlying her political columns because I know we relate as sisters, somewhere under our cast-iron exteriors. I would never want to diminish her right to be that woman who she becomes in private and I don't want to silence her from sharing that very private aspect of her life, either.

It is sad that some women feel the need to pounce on and eviscerate their fellow women for being women. It makes me think of the character played by Tom Hanks in "A League of Their Own" when he says, "There's no crying in baseball!"

I wanted to answer then as I do now, "Says who?" and "Why not?"

Boys will be boys. Let girls be girls no matter how old those girls may be.

As a former journalist, I know you sometimes have to tiptoe around your questions a little bit so that your subject doesn't shut things down, but this interview was RIDICULOUS!

Most television journalists (unlike print ones) have a cadre of producers, writers and other research to pull out when someone dodges a question with a stupid answer, "I don't use the Internet." Where was this research? Former quotes on the subject by Mr. Craig?

Also, there is a whole contingency of people known as Straight Spouses (and a network--The Straight Spouse Network). Some of these people have been married to gay people for years without knowing it. Many have often learned their spouse is gay and/or cheating on them with the same sex after a lifetime of marriage. Didn't anyone bother to ask them about men in Craig's position?

I am disappointed with NBC, Matt Lauer and anyone else who allowed this lightweight piece of drivel to pass for serious journalism.

As for Mr. Wide Stance and other people (gay and straight) who have sex in bathrooms--take it to a room somewhere. I don't want to walk in on that, nor would I want a small child to walk in on that. Think about someone other than yourselves!

Last month, as a prepared to cast my vote in my state's presidential primaries, I was almost in tears. I'm 38-years-old and for the first time in my lifetime, I had the opportunity to vote for a woman for president and a black man. It was what I'd dreamed about my whole life.

During the 1976 election, when I was a little girl, my mother brought me into the voting booth with her and let me pull the lever for Jimmy Carter. She whispered how one day I'd be doing this for a woman or a minority person. I'm just sorry she didn't live to share this election with me. She died 11 years ago on March 19, 2007 (RIP Linda Ann Prows Hudson).

I went back and forth between both Barack and Hillary for a short period of time. Most of my younger friends, people in their 20s, are pretty solidly behind Barack. They love his unbridled enthusiasm and powerful speech. I get why they love him, but my vote is for Hillary.

For anyone to say that her eight years spent in the White House as our country's first lady shouldn't count as experience undermines the average woman over 30's experience. While we've made significant strides on our own, experience gained as wives and mothers of powerful men is just as valid as the work we've done on our own.

I am divorced now, but when I was married, I managed my marital home with the same efficiency and ambition as the CEO of a small, but exciting organization. From picking up my husband's dry cleaning (no, I never ironed his shirts--he wouldn't let me) to buying and sending his yearly holiday cards to staff to starting a small, successful business with him, I matched him step for step and achievement for achievement. It is what women of my generation were taught to do. Our contributions to our homes, society and the business world were not always as valued, but eventually they were recognized as real work through numerous socio-economic studies and by smart, thinking people who did their own math and reached their own conclusions on the subject.

Someone once said that Ginger Rogers, the famous dancing partner of Fred Astaire, did the same thing as Astaire "only backwards and in high heels." Hillary, a woman with a law degree, a successful career in law and now the U.S. Senate is also a successful wife and mother (look at how wonderfully her own daughter turned out) who matched many of her husband's steps but she did it in sensible shoes and less glamourous attire than Rogers. Her record as a woman is why she gets my vote.
