(15,805 posts)your whole shopworn argument goes up in smoke. Our gender must matter to you a great deal because you're trying to segregate women as though we are only allowed that one dimensional context. Stop looking at women as merely gender specific beings, it's not a "standard" to be proud of. It is a familiar tactic that we've seen many times before to "other" groups of people for disapproval. Reducing women to their component parts makes it easier to discriminate against us, to discount us as venal and frivolous.
Hillary represents an enormous shift of power that will bring women's issues, women's equality and rights, to the forefront. Hurrah for us! I can see how that might make you feel a tad insecure. Well, welcome to what women have endured for all the eons of human existence; you'll get used to it, trust me, you will.
