11. You know, it really has been a lesson in misogyny/sexism/patriarchy. I do love watching Clinton walk

thru the garbage.

Clinton said something about yes a woman that is anti choice can be a feminist.

I personally have to concede that the women on the left that choose Sanders as far as feminism is concerned, can still be a feminist, lol. ok.

Sarandan was a wonderful example of privilege at its best. The unlevel playing field. Obstacles put int he way.

The bottom line is Sarandon and the other women that support Sanders has truly put women's issues to the side and have come up with all kinds of justification. Women I respect tons. And yes. They are kick ass feminists. Further, and who am I to say.

But the total ironic behavior and demand we get from Sarandon would compare to white women in the 70's and how they turned off black women.

Personally, I listened. I learned.

I cannot thank the people that patiently taught me, showed me, allowed me to see. It has opened my world and enhanced my world immeasurably. So, though I am bothered with this, it is ok. We merely listen, learn and get stronger. Just like Clinton continually rising herself.

We got this.

I simply feel, we got this. Maybe it will open eyes that we would never have thought would open. Opportunities abound.
