All women left to vote in primaries, why wouldn't you vote for Hillary? Aren't you tired of being 2nd class?

Question

I find it embarrasing that women are not stepping up for each other. Good Lord when are things going to change?

Answer 1

Well, like a grandmother in her 60's wrote in the "letters to the editor" section in the latest Time magazine, young woman today have had it too easy (paraphrasing here). A lot of these female votes are coming from young woman who have had the way paved for them by woman from older generations. They are naive and don't see the double standard at work. Obama has received fawning coverage and Hillary has received aggressive and hostile coverage. If people would go back and study American history they would see that black men got the vote decades ahead of white and black women. Women that had fought for the voting rights of blacks in the movement were told to wait and the movement would fight for their right to vote. It didn't happen. Women had to wait more than fifty years. Ironically, history is repeating itself. Yet again, society turns a blind eye to sexism while abhorring racism. It is a shame that the public schools are in such a shambles or American young people would be better educated in their history and thus be able to identify patterns and make intelligent decisions.

And to all those who are ranting about how women are so stupid to vote for a woman based only on that factor---- Where is the outrage that exit polls clearly demonstrated that blacks were voting overwhelmingly for the black candidate? Gotta love the selective outrage! Lol.

Answer 2

If you vote for somebody just because they are female, you are more of a sexist than anyone I know.

The ONLY reason Hillary is anywhere near where she is politically is the fact she rode Bill's coat-tails all these years.  Why do you think she put up with his adultery all these years? If it wasn't for Bill, she would just be another lawyer.

What a shining example for all the women of America!!  "Use a man to get somewhere!"

Answer 3

I want someone qualified to be in the presidents position. If it's a woman awesome, but if the man is more qualified i'd rather have him be president.

Answer 4

If some of you want to be ignorant, I'm game.

I don't see Obama lasting long in office. He'd probably end up like Martin Luther King Jr.

I think they're wanting to show that the USA has come a long way since segregation, when I doubt it hasn't much at all.

And I'm not understanding what Bill did so wrong while he was holding office? If you're referring to the whole Monica thing... oh my god. I don't see what their personal life has to do with running the country!! It's about them making our country a better place!

I'm voting Hillary. Like I've seen someone once say before... I'd rather vote for someone who has had a husband as President.. then someone who hasn't.

I'm just not understanding, because she has sat along side of her husband for 8 years, so she has way more experience with the presidential seat. So why not let those reasons be to  vote for her other than her political views?

Whoever does win, I pity, though.. because they'll have to clean up whatever mess Bush made.

Answer 5

There are differences in the candidates, although they are enormously subtle and come down more to personality then issues. But regardless, to vote for someone based on their being female is just as sexist as not voting for someone for the same reason. If you really want equality, you would not factor in s*x at all, especially considering Obama's track record on women's rights. In my opinion your not fighting for equality, but rather supremacy, in which case you deserve neither.

Answer 6

Whoever asked this question must be "2nd class" or only thinking with their gender qualities.  I for one do not think any of the candidates are qualified although they do speak elegantly and in beneficial circles.

Answer 7

I am not a woman, but I feel compelled to answer this question.

Any woman who votes for Clinton, simply because she is a woman is demonstrating that she has NO class.

If we vote for a candidate because he or she looks like us, what does that say about us?

Answer 8

if it was any other woman, maybe i would do it, but not her.

Answer 9

I love our country, and therefore, I want the best PERSON to be president.  I do not base my vote on race, gender or religion.  I base my vote on issues.

AND, I do not consider myself to be a second class citizen.  I have the job I want, make the salary I deserve, and get the respect I have earned.  Nothing second class about that.

Answer 10

woman, man, black, white...whatever.

As a woman, I would never just vote for a woman on that basis alone.  That way of thinking makes women as a whole look ridiculous.  

How is that any different than a man being for men, blacks being for blacks..etc etc.

Think about it.

I'm not for Hillary because I dont like her - period.

Answer 11

I find you to be a second class citizen, who is poorly educated and should not be given the right to vote...quite ranting about women's right's and go read a book or better yet go read each candidates statistics on voting and etc!!!!!!! You are what is an embarassment to women!

Answer 12

I wouldn't trust a word coming out of her mouth.  That's why I wouldn't vote for her.  She's been caught in absolute lies too many times, just like her husband.  Don't think that's the kind of leader I want.

Answer 13

It's not so much the fact that Hilary Clinton is a woman as the fact that she isn't presenting ideas that many women are choosing to vote for. Would you rather have a male president who is a strong leader with your same values or a woman president who doesn't share the public opinion who was voted into the Presidency just because she was a woman?

I would be all for a woman president-- if, that is, she stood for what I do.

Answer 14

I find the character of the person running to be elected to the highest office to represent my country is more important than her/his gender.

Hillary is so below the standards I expect from this individual.  

I don't hold a grudge, but I don't believe in asking to be humiliated by a gov't official to be a wise choice.

This woman humiliated herself and the nation by her actions when First Lady.  It has nothing to do with her husbands' actions - these were her own choices.  She blatantly lied about so many issues it is disgusting.  She also has a horrid record on healthcare for children.  Do you realize the reform she put in school systems allows a child to be take from class to a Dr. for examination(this includes a GYN/OB) without the permission or notification of the parent(s)?  This did happen to two 11/12yr old girls when the teachers THought they may have been pregnant!!  

Also, her dealings with the "Rose papers" was shameful and because of her position no one smeared her name or subjected her to an investigation.

I can't abide by someone of her questionable character.

Answer 15

This question is highly insulting. You are suggesting that women should be stupid enough to vote for a woman even though she's not the best candidate. Don't you realize that if she did become president she would ruin the chances of having another, better, woman being elected? Be careful who you vote for.

Answer 16

Nobody wants a Commander in Chief who cries in public.
