Kamala Harris is an example of a truly modern woman, post the

Feminist movement. She is acting as she feels like acting. There is no one who can force her into a “role” or decide how she should comport herself. She isn’t being forced into a mold and that says a lot about her.

Examples of what I’m talking about are that she wears running shoes and bounds down the escalator when she gets off a plane. She uses her sense of humor openly and connects with individuals, showing she’s savvy about pop culture and entertainment. She really does look like the American people. She is obviously comfortable in her own skin and acts like all of us, knowing when to be serious and professional and also easily able to connect with regular people.

She has no problem giving a thumbs up and laughing and showing enthusiasm and respect while being playful. And she can get serious in a heartbeat, bringing out her professional persona in an instant.

I for one am very glad to see women acting they way they always act, not allowing anyone to force them into an antiquated and useless mold.

Elizabeth Warren is also comfortable in her skin in that way too.

It just kills me that she’s being nominated.

Somewhere I saw a tweet where someone said her entire professional career is due to Ruth Bader Gingsburg’s work and now she’ll do her best to fuck every last little bit of that work up.
