I was brought up with a very strong sense of what can happen if your society starts to chip away at the small victories women have won for themselves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When anything goes, it's women who lose.
I think the problem is that there has been a kind of backlash against feminism. I think women just didn't really see themselves winning that fight, and I think that probably led to a lot women feeling trapped in a perpetual cycle of disappointment - trying to be feminists and failing to be.
There are so few women in general who aren't completely threatened and confused by other women's success. It's very disappointing.
Women, if left to their own devices, are going to tend and trend Democratic. That is absolutely the case.
A society that does not use the intellectual power of its female population fully is not a wise society. Most women are not as tainted by mistakes in the conduct of the economy as the male population, and now they deserve an opportunity.
For a few thousand years, women had no history. Marriage was our calling, and meekness our virtue. Over the last century, in stuttering succession, we have gained a voice, a vote, a room, a playing field of our own. Decorously or defiantly, we now approach what surely qualifies as the final frontier.
Women are completely disadvantaged - despite what men will say. It is not a fair fight.
I certainly came up in an era where women were really making strides and making a point to beat down doors and find their place and crash through the glass ceiling.
When women succeed, America succeeds.
We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.
