Do you have any personal feeling as to why women are so reluctant. Is it a competition thing, a she-thinks-she-is-better-than-us type of thinking, jealousy…what?

Hillary’s take on women’s issues are from a time that millennials don’t remember and seem baffled by the idea that that’s even an issue (I guess they never spoke to their mothers and grandmothers?) At the same time, Hillary’s feminist icon campaign surrogates (Madeline Albright and Gloria Steinem both stuck their feet in their mouths this week) deeply misunderstand how millennials take for granted the gains that were so hard-fought back in the day.

Black people seem to have sidestepped this particular pothole — they pass down their stories in such detail that even high school kids have a pretty solid grasp of what it was like for their grandparents and great-grandparents.
