Clinton walks tightrope to woo women voters

Steinem is obviously a leader in the feminist movement and a woman I deeply respect.

"Now, I find it rather fantastic, because I happen to believe that Henry Kissinger was one of the most destructive secretaries of state in the modern history of this country. When you're young, you're thinking, 'Where are the boys?' The boys are with Bernie".

To her credit, Steinem apologized for her remark. Steinem has often said that girls refuse to call themselves "feminists" because they don't want to compromise their ability to get a date on Saturday night.

"When you're young", she said, with a light laugh, "you're thinking 'Where are the boys?' The boys are with Bernie". Not only did Steinem endorse Bernie Sanders over a female candidate, but she hailed his pro-feminist agenda as soon as she stepped up to the microphone.

The survey includes preliminary results from interviews with 1,660 Democratic caucus-goers and 1,794 Republican caucus-goers. A lot of them are saying that the "real winner" of the Iowa caucuses is Senator Marco Rubio, even though he came in third.

Today's young feminists will not vote for Clinton for her gender, or to repay a debt they did not incur. America's "Soccer Moms" preferred "a more progressive tax system and more wealth transfers to low-income people as an alternative to a share of a husband's uncertain future income [or alimony]... after women have to raise children on their own, they are more likely to classify themselves as liberal, vote for Democrats, and support policies such as progressive income taxation", the study found. I did not say thank you for the vote. In Iowa, Bernie Sanders won 84 percent of voters under 30.

In terms of her message to young women, most of her congressional supporters said Sanders has benefited from having a simple economic message directed at young people. "I guess just for the fun of it, they want to throw money around". In that moment, it seemed as though an older generation of feminists revoked any entitlement to a nuanced political decision that young women might possess.

"I think we're in vigorous agreement here", Clinton said at one point.

But they're missing the bigger point that had these women not cut a path for others to enter and expect to be treated fairly in the workplace and elsewhere, these same young women would, indeed, be following the boys in hopes of inserting an "R" between the "M" and the "S" in their titles, as their predecessors had to. Not because she's a woman and not only because she will be a formidable candidate, but because she does not believe that government is the eighth horse of the Apocalypse.

Others have alleged that there's a real streak of sexism among Sanders' supporters, who have been referred to as "Bernie Bros". Men should do this as well, not just women. "Appointments to the Supreme Court make all the difference", Albright said of Republicans, adding that young women "have to help" and that "Hillary Clinton will be there for you". I am so here for it, and I do not doubt that equal representation matters and that a woman would bring different skills to the presidency than a man. But the problem is, I can't morally or ethically support a candidate who doesn't have a sturdy passion and dedication on imperative issues.

In fact, we're not too worked up about any of this. All of these women have something significant in common: They have all, at one time or another, supported a Hillary Clinton presidential bid.

Clearly, Albright and Steinem don't see it this way, possibly because the desire by second wave feminists to see Clinton in power at all costs isn't really about progress at all, but mortality. That Sanders never outgrew his own socialist-rebellious tendencies - We're going to have a revolution! - is vaguely interesting, but not his best recommendation for commander in chief, among other presidential duties.

Ms Clinton said she is running for President to knock down all the barriers that are holding Americans back, and to rebuild the ladders of opportunity that will give every American a chance to advance, especially those who have been left out and left behind.
