I’ve been following the debate about whether or not to vote for Hillary Clinton for President solely on the basis of her being a woman. Apparently, the New York NOW chapter even issued a statement denouncing Teddy Kennedy’s support for Barack Obama, saying he has “betrayed” them:
He’s joined the list of progressive white men who can’t or won’t handle the prospect of a woman president who is Hillary Clinton (they will of course say they support a woman president, just not “this†one).
So basically what my sisters in New York City are saying is, we’ve fought hard to help women achieve equal rights – including the right to choose their own path and think for themselves – but now we want to tell others how to think. And, if they don’t follow our lead them, well, they’re no true supporter of our cause.
Does anyone else find this absolutely ludicrous?
Amen, sister. Completely and utterly abominably ridiculous.
