    I'm going to hold my breath until I turn Blue..States a Blood Rage Rage

    I used to have great respect for the Clintons, but now I can't stand to see their surname in a headline. Mrs.Clinton manages to derail feminism, not advance it when she behaves like a Homecoming Queen having a girls locker room hissy fit after failing to also be elected Prom Queen. If she was our symbol on how women can make it to the top, is she any less a symbol of how we deal with defeat? {PS PUMAS this mean YOU too} The Tantrums {Sexism in the media!!}, The Threats, {I'm going to hold my breath until I turn Blue..States a Blood Rage Rage}...

    In my opinion, Clinton is not this generations Jeannette Rankin. Yes, it was wonderful to see a woman go for the job. Women Power. Yes, she would be qualified for such a position. But guess what ladies? I still think Obama is a better candidate. I don't like her for reasons that have nothing to do with her sex. I did not believe her to be the best choice. And I am tired of other so called feminists treating me as if I'm some silly fluttery GIRL that has to be saved from her unenlightenment. So how will I, a new feminist, fight the inequalities symbolized by Hillary Clinton's defeat?

    Staying far away from Embittered PUMAS and continue to remember the feminism is about equality, not entitlement.
