Recently at dinner, a friend of mine told another friend of mine about the check I wrote to the Obama campaign. It caused a bit of uproar. In fact, it caused such an uproar, that I gulped 4 glasses of wine quite quickly so that I would be drunk and could legitimately go "I can't discuss this with any legitimacy! I'm DRUNK!".

I consider myself a feminist and I am one of those women who HATE HILARY CLINTON. I have a list of reasons and a lot of them are emotion-based, which apparently doesn't count in any reasonable debate, so they get chalked up to "for no reason why." I seriously would vote for almost any other candidate with the exception of say an Ann Coulter. I would seriously vote for Nancy Pelosi before I'd vote for Hilary Clinton.

Smart women disagree all the time. I do think that everyone (men included) should support the IDEA of a woman president but I don't expect all women to support Hillary Clinton (see previous sentence). Same goes for everyone supporting the idea of a black president.

Honestly, I don't get the "hating" part. Hillary is not running as some feminist super role model so I wish women would stop projecting their issues onto her. She's running for President of the United States. Don't like her because her stand on the issues. Not because of the kind of woman she is, who she married (or her marriage status), or how she dresses.

I even know some democratic women who hate hillary.

one friend, when asked why she hated hillary replied "because she's a CUNT." well... now that's a rational well-thought out reason. uh.

anyway, i don't hate hillary, but i agree obama is more likely to win. and i want a democrat as president more than i want a woman to win the nomination.
