[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article on Hillary Clinton's own brand of "feminism" is pretty interesting. I especially liked this quote:

"But for proponents of this doctrine, perhaps no irony was crueler than seeing its namesake, then Secretary of State Clinton, smiling broadly in her trademark pantsuit as she walked the red carpet from her plane in Riyadh with the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, in 2010. The moment brought to mind an incongruity no less extreme than if Frederick Douglass had been appointed ambassador to the Confederacy and found himself sipping tea and making small talk with Nathan Bedford Forrest. For, in Saudi Arabia, the subordination of women is as peculiar and pernicious an institution as was slavery in the antebellum South."

What's your point with this?  That she shouldn't have visited Saudi Arabia as sec of state because she's a woman?  Uh, no.  That's not a winning argument.  Grow up. [/quote]

My point is that she has had the opportunity to advocate for the rights of some of the most oppressed women in the world and she has not done so. [/quote]
