Clinton has had an issue throughout her career which is children’s issues women’s issues - it’s not her fault that no one cares about the former and people think the latter doesn’t count. Let’s also not forget that she attempted universal health care in the 90s.

At least one of my bridesmaid reused hers. I saw it with my own eyes in a picture on Facebook.

This is why I can’t imagine this actually happening. None of it makes any sense.

Lol. Why are you sooo invested in defending Allen? I always wonder this. many women are invested in this because they want to protect others predators. But then you get people on the message boards who are SO upset about a biased NYT article being called out that they have to spend their time defending the honor of…

This journalist is offering a retread of opinions we’ve all heard 1000 times before and it’s not his field. He’s not an expert on sexual assault. He ignores evidence. Why is he weighing in on this?

Because the way they point it out is usually to minimize the bad actions. “Well, you might say he murdered 3 people, but he’s no Hitler! He didn’t commit genocide. We have to make sure to look at these issues with nuance.”

Well, we need more people who believe in climate change and who will vote and advocate for environmental solutions. Who knows, maybe your kid would create positive change that saved resources for people.

This isn’t your main point but there is a lot of complicated stuff with public schools, school choice and other education issues. School choice in many places, for example, benefits the less wealthy, who can’t do the type of school choice the middle and upper class mostly participate in, which is moving to desired…

What field are you in?

Google says Faye Dunaway has $40 million. So maybe this was the wrong example?

In addition to what was written above, part of the issue is the focus. Here is this massive outpouring of crap and worse that women have been dealing with and men like Matt Damon are SO concerned that the perpetrators of the crap are being treated unfairly. The women are given some half-assed lip service in his…

Who gets the money in a publicly funded campaign? Are you allowed to use private money for the primaries? It can’t be that just any person wanting to run for office gets financed so would public funding prevent independent challenges?

Yea, I keep trying to get shocked by her lack of political experience and then think that maybe it would really not be that bad. Mentally, she’s prepared to deal with the crushing pressure that comes with the job. She’s managed and lead a large team before. She could get the best advisors. It doesn’t feel like the…

A lot of these type of men are still gatekeepers to power. There has already been one high profile case of an attempted squeezing out of a PR Rep(?). She used her skillset to prevent it from happening but certainly other women will take career knocks as men try to “protect” themselves.

Before the #metoo movement men could more or less sexually harass women with impunity in certain organizations and social circles

You know, women have to interact with men all the time at work and risk uncomfortable situations and threats to our/their careers if come-ons are not reciprocated. This is the basis of the #metoo movement. But we interact with men anyway. Being so proud in cutting yourself off from women (in some areas) because you…

I don’t know, I’m a woman and care a lot about how women are treated and I don’t find this argument that off base. As another commenter pointed out Billy Bush encouraged a hug, (which I didn’t remember), so he is in the end gross and complicit and probably had no qualms about laughing along with Trump. But it takes a…

“Do as I say, not as I do isn’t the point. The point is that there is no “Do what I say or what I do” with these people. They will not do what we do.”

Yes - I hear what you are saying and I agree fact checking is important. I’m okay with taking this a little slow. But this was not the sense I got in the other argument, I got the sense that this was just the excuse they were using to support Franken. It was not like “if he did this he needs to go but let’s make sure…

Nope. Do as I say, not as I do doesn’t work very well. Women’s issues are not an also-ran. If Franken had victimized 14 year olds would you be sitting here telling me we need to keep him because of “half-cancers”? No, you wouldn’t. So what it boils down to is that you don’t think that THIS issue is important enough to…
