As a feminist--Hillary's future
Hillary was never my choice but she now has a chance to show what a feminist does after such an huge effort and a devastating loss (and we've all had them). I'd start by washing away all the bitterness in my mind and heart. I'd never, ever cry sexism because that claim of victimization coming from a hugely successful elite trivializes the experiences of women (and their men and children) whose opportunities were cruelly limited by gender bias. I'd make a point in my concession speech that showed I had empathy for Michele and the girls. And I'd see my future not in terms of personal ambition but a chance to take up the cause of women. Reintroducing the ERA would be a good start. Now that's using your power!

The more you insist on having us view Hillary as a female politician rather than as a politician, the more you hurt you own cause.
Your cause is gender neutrality, right?

No, there is no such thing as gender neutrality--there is such an idea as gender justice, for example policies and programs that recognize and support all those (men and women) who care for the frail elderly or injured vets. I never saw her as a female politician--I agree she is a politician but I'm suggesting she could use a cause besides herself and seeking political office. Maybe it is too late--many politicians who lose got to K street or write books. She has a choice and a lot of women who look to her for leadership. They will buy her books or work on her cause--whatever it is.

You know, I've recently been working on old Chevrolet cars. Something interesting is that most of them come with either a 235 or 216 inch straight six engine. Some of the later models came with a 265 V-8 but those are pretty rare. A nice thing about the engines is that they all pretty much took the same carburetor.
This is the single barrel Rochester. By now, I have been required to rebuild a ton of these suckers and I have a few tips that might be helpful.
First, every single one of them uses the same rebuild kit. After tracking down half a dozen specific model numbers I figured it out. Just tell the Nappa guy they are all the same ^^%*% thing - give me one. He'll probably respond - but I need a year and model number. Tell him to pick a 1953 Bel-Air with a 235 and it should do the trick.
These suckers seem to need a rebuild every couple of years, but this also might be a result of the entire fuel system being 50 years old. Usually you just need to clean out the jets and replace the stop-ball and spring. Interestingly enough - once I lost the spring and didn't have a rebuild kit handy. After disassembling half-a-dozen ball point pens, I found a spring from one that seemed to work great. Ultimately I replaced it with the correct part, but I was proud of my alternative-engineering prowess, so thought I'd take a moment to brag about it.
Beyond that, I'd just like to say that the 235 is a brutally solid engine. We bought an old 1955 (series 1) 3100 truck, and got it on the road. After hauling several cars and 2 tractors, the thing finally blew a head gasket. When we took the heads off, it turns out that the engine had been running with a quarter-inch hole in the top the #6 cylinder and a stuck valve. And it still hauled like crazy! This actually is the first motor that we've tried to do a complete rebuild on. It's almost on the road now. We replaced the pistons with .30 over stock, redone the whole bottom end, and repainted or powder coated most everything.
It's back in the truck now, and just awaiting a couple of extra hoses. Hopefully mu buddy gets off his butt and we can get it done next weekend - the damn thing is taking up half my garage! As a computer programmer, you can never actually touch what you create with your hands - it's fun sometimes to work on a physical system such as a motor. It's pretty cool that there are so many projects that can be found so inexpensively in the area.

The motor really had a hole in the top of the #6 piston - I always make that mistake (calling pistons cylinders) dunno why.

No, there is such a thing as gender neutrality, just as there is a thing of race neutrality, hair color neutrality, etc.
That is what we should strive for.
Because if you really want quotas, etc. then the first thing we need do is start limiting the number of women in college as they are more than 50% of the student bodies.
Social engineering always fails. What you want is to allow for equal access to opportunity -- and after that, you are on your own, based on your own merits and talents.
I find it amazing that so much ink is spent on Hillary and so little on Nancy Pelosi. Does anyone care that Ruth Ginzburg is a woman? She is simply known as an associate justice...THAT is progress.
Take a lesson from Obama: While Hillary ran as a woman, he ran as an American.

It is true that Pelosi, Ginzburg, and countless other women in public life are less identified with feminism than Hillary Clinton, but that doesn't make Hillary's leadership as a feminist wrong. Hillary has accomplished far more in her life than simply advancing the cause of feminism, but she has also advanced that cause immeasurably.
The point of the post, which I agree with, with an aching heart, is that she could be doing so much more than she is, at this moment of history being made, to help advance the cause of feminism, the cause of racial justice, and the cause of progressivism in general, by endorsing Obama with heart and soul. Instead, perhaps understandably, she appears to be emotionally wrought over the loss of the Democratic nomination, and seems only able to act selfishly. I don't feel she owes it to anyone to act with more grace and strength, I just wish she could do it. Maybe she still will.

The point is that Hillary Clinton is hardly the poster-child of feminism: she attained the Senate on the basis of her husband's presidency.
Margaret Thatcher, she ain't. Of course, Margaret Thatcher has the wrong politics...what to do, what to do!
Let's reframe things:
How many blacks and liberals cheered that nomination of Clarence Thomas to the SCOTUS?
And if you are looking at racial justice -- ask yourself why Hillary made exactly zero mention of the historic nature of Obama's race in her speech last night?

Speculation doesn't make for a good argument. There is no way of knowing if Hillary Clinton would have been a senator if she hadn't been married, and it is silly to make a claim that she would or wouldn't.

It's silly to ask whether Hillary would have been a Senator and a serious candidate for President if she had not been Bill's wife? Now that's a silly claim. Hillary Rodham wouldn't have been a serious candidate for anything based on her career accomplishments on her own.

So "out of the loop" isn't just a catchy name...

Oops, sorry, I got pretty academic on you and my main point got lost. Gender justice is how we get to that better world where all the bias and discrimination on the basis of trait and role disappears. There is a literature on it including something I wrote a while back related to elder care. Right now so much policy that is supposedly gender neutral is not good at all for women or men and winds up hurting women in particular. I totally agree that we should not use "woman" before the role, e.g., woman writer, woman researcher, woman doctor, but that is what I hear from everyone about HRC--the first woman, historic, etc. Hey. she is a politician first and a pretty good one if you loved the late 20th century.

You won me over totally with that last line! Clever!

Claiming sexism is exactly what she should do and what Obama should do to. This pretense that there was no sexism in this race is not helpful to feminism. In many cases, and MSNBC leads the pack, it was downright filthy. Everyone is so willing to hold racism up to the light and expose it, yet no one will do the same for sexism, probably because they don't see it.
(And no, I don't think her campaign failed because of sexism, although I think it contributed to it because of the press's lack of restraint and decency.)

Yes, misogyny was rampant in the right wing nut crowd and will continue to be. Just watch them portray Obama as a castrati and oh so feminine. We are all harmed by sexism and racism--they are deeply imbedded in our culture--but the old politics of victimhood only reinforces them.
