Reply #2: as a female in the sciences I respect your experience [View All]

[Muttocracy]

I know it was a lot harder for earlier generations of women. My mom quit college to put her husband through grad school because it was the economically prudent thing to do.

But I'm puzzled that you say "the implications that I got my job beause my dh is a physician in the community are also there." Isn't Mrs. Clinton a perfect case of getting where she is based on her husband's career? I'm not saying she's not bright and capable. Absent Bill I actually think she would have achieved a lot more in her life. But why wouldn't we want other female senators or governors known for their own careers to be the first female president?

I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm curious about your thoughts.
