I've Been Hard On Hillary, about that glass ceiling...

I just browsed Hillary's photo album, it appears she's still raising money and is possibly passing the baton to Chelsea, our hedge fund guru.

I think both women demonstrate that women in this country can DO anything. But WHO are they? And what do they BELIEVE? I don't know anything about Chelsea. But I've learned more than I ever wanted to know about Hillary's morality...that the ends justify the means.

The most moving image was of a woman who reminded me of my own 70 year old mother. She had Hillary buttons all over her hat, and I thought, wow, I can't see my mom doing that for Hillary, but maybe some other woman or candidate; and I felt sad that this unknown woman is probably disappointed right now. But I honestly think that we already had cracks in that ceiling when that woman (and millions of others) taught her daughter, or niece or neighbor that girls and women can DO anything in this country. I think that glass ceiling will be broken when both women and men aren't required to DO and PROVE everything, especially based on gender, and we're all accepted for who we are, loving human beings who love others. And I'm a feminist mother of sons.

Hey, I love Hillary.

Cheers.
