Women are not cattle nor chattel. Tell that to Albright and Steinem. Madeleine Albright speaking in New Hampshire for Hillary said that women must vote for Hillary. She further said that, if they do not, “there would be a special place in hell for them.” Steinem said that young women support Bernie because they want to meet boys. Later, she retracted the statement.
Do Albright and Steinem understand that their comments about women are demeaning and insulting? You cannot treat women as a herd of cattle that you prod into voting booths and tell them to vote for Hillary. Nor can you treat women as chattel: controlling them and demanding that they should vote for a woman presidential candidate.
Bernie’s defeat of Hillary in New Hampshire was a landslide victory. The women’s vote was a factor in her loss. Hillary should rethink laughing at Albright’s comment. Perhaps, she would have captured more of the women’s vote.
Let’s start talking about men and women as people or individuals. I attribute part of my career success to seeing myself as a person who WINS Without Competing! How do you see yourself?
