Much more plus a wisecrack from Margaret at http://margaretandhelen.com/2016/02/08/there-is-a-reason-big-girls-dont-cry-we-havent-the-time/
There is a reason big girls don’t cry. We haven’t the time. FROM HELEN:
Margaret, as you would expect, I have been glued to the news ever since the voting started in Iowa and now moves on to New Hampshire up there near you, honey. I bet politicians are worse than the leaf peepers in fall. Being so close to Vermont, I am wondering if you can tell me why the youngsters are so excited about Senator Sanders? I thought all of us old fogeys were too square these days.
I saw a young woman on MSNBC talking about how Hillarys feminism was not her feminism. Oh honey. If you only knew. When my mother was your age, she wasnt allowed to vote. When I was your age, journalists wouldnt have even bothered to ask for my opinion. They would have wanted my husbands instead. Your opinion actually made news around the world. Thats just remarkable. Trust me when I tell you that my mothers feminism became mine. And mine became Hillarys which most definitely became yours. Feminism isnt a vote. Its a birthright.
