Actually, it would be a better world if girls knew a world where it didn't matter - where your qualifications, and NOT your gender, were the determining factor. Because voting for someone because they ARE a certain gender is no different than NOT voting for someone because they are a certain gender.
It be great! --but have to start somewhere- men all gritting teeth in here- we still fighting for equality- hope the old bitter men are soon gone- some younger men seem to be getting it- unless crazy with affluenza

Believing people are voting for Hillary BECAUSE she is a woman is exactly the sexist BS we need to still overcome.
I agree with you. This morning on Joe, they compared the two speeches given last night. Trump's was full of "I, I, I" and "me, me, me". Hillary's was "we" and "us". Trump is all about himself, his businesses, his lawsuits--couldn't care less about the country or the Republican Party (quite evident this week).
Even the speech venues were striking in contrast. Trump hunkered down in his country club surrounded by beautiful people and designer clothes made in China, with a canned speech to a canned crowd, and Hillary in a Brooklyn naval yard with a packed crowd of real Americans with real emotion.
He's going to go negative and attack Bill Clinton and drag us back to the 90s. Nobody cares except his base--he'll turn off everyone else. She's going to talk about the economy, the country, families, kids, education, the future. As the GOP splits, I think the Dems will unite. Bernie supporters who hate her may drift off to Jill Stein, but Trump is not going to attract progressive millenials with his exclusionary nationalism, walls, and 50s vision of turning America into industrial cities full of manufacturers.
What on earth are you talking about?
Her speech was terrible. It was unauthentic and catered to people that are susceptible to phony emotional BS. It was like an Obama speech accept that she's a much worse actor than Obama. That woman so full of **** that she could literally say that the sky was blue and people would question it.
Who cares about speeches anyways? They're effing meaningless. They're nothing more than a tool to heard the sheep. Anyone that actually looks at her policies that's not a parasite needs to seriously question if having a woman for president is more important than sinking the ship. Don't get me wrong, the ship will eventually sink anyways, but I would rather it sink 30 years from now after I'm dead or too old to care instead of in the next 10 years.
Were too close to the edge for another politician that favors the do-nothings over the doers.
She has so much coming at her right now that being the first woman nominee is being minimized as it well should be.
Criminal first, first woman nominee would be second thing she'll be remembered as.
Actually Trump has more coming at him right now--- former supporters are dumping him, calling him "toxic", threatening to replace him as the presumptive nominee, while people are celebrating Hillary's milestone victory! Trump is falling fast.

(Yes I know you are a woman).
Absolutely. As a woman who grew up in the '60s and '70s, a time when no one ever said to little girls, someday you could grow up to be president, this is an historic moment indeed. I liked when Clinton said it was a win for generations of women. Women everywhere understood what she meant.

That's why breaking glass ceilings is so important.
Because until those glass ceilings are smashed, your gender is the determining factor.
