[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look around you, honey. An entire generation of women refuses to vote for Hillary because she's old. So they're voting for the white guy that's 5 years older.

How do you get that it's about age? I think people want someone less "establishment" than Hillary. We're seeing that in both parties. I'd love for Hillary to come out as being far more to the left, so we could have a female Bernie.

As for older women losing power, of course that's how it works in a patriarchy, which is set up to work best for men. Let's stop telling little girls they look pretty, as the default nicety we say in greeting to them. Let's stop valuing women so much on their looks and youth, and give more credit to mature women and our wealth of experience and wisdom. Let's stop commenting on Hillary Clinton's appearance. She's an ordinary-looking 68-year-old woman whose appearance should be irrelevant in her work. People only talk about prominent mens' appearances if they're practically circus freaks.[/quote]
