[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think that you yourself are greatly minimizing Clinton's contribution and influence as first lady if you can state that she was "married to a man who..." Hillary Clinton worked hard for that policy and you should at least give her credit for her hard work.[/quote] 
I'm absolutely not minimizing her role and her contributions in many efforts to help women and girls around the world.  IIRC, other posters have cited some of those efforts for you several pages ago.  But you dismissed them all, and relentlessly focused this thread on TPP, NAFTA, CAFTA.  Well, Clinton wasn't the person elected President when that legislation arrived at the White House, and she did not have the Presidential pen.  We'll see what she does when she gets that pen in January 2017.  I hope Senator Sanders will join with the Democrats to pass some legislation that might reach her desk.[/quote]
I have not dismissed Clinton's contributions. I have said that she has done some good things but her record is a very mixed bag which does not add up to a consistently pro-woman candidate and she has also contributed to legislation that has been very harmful to women. If you want to follow Steinem go right ahead but there are a lot of feminists who are not very happy with her right now. [/quote]
Oh yes, you did dismiss them.  I was not a participant in that part of the thread, but I watched you do it.  http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/60/546132.page

Two or three women who work on these issues day in and day out gave you loads of thoughtful detail about what Clinton has done.  You blew it off as "gave a nice speech."

But when they asked for evidence of what Sanders has done, you offered nothing concrete.[/quote]
