Clinton: There's a 'game that’s being played to keep women in their place'

[Silver Pines]

I would not presume to speak for @CatherineofAragon, but I don't think she was qualified for either of those spots, nor did she handle them in a manner that brought any kind of credit upon herself that would indicate she was a good candidate for higher office.  Merely warming the seat is how we got Obama, because he didn't do anything of note either.

@Cyber Liberty, thank you; that's precisely what I was thinking.  Her only "qualification" for anything was the fact that she was Bill Clinton's wife.

Yay, it's going to be Bash of the Cruzervilles

Funny, but there's hardly a woman I know who doesn't long to be 'in her place' at home with the children and the garden, and the market and the Church, surrounded by women like-in-kind.

Those who didn't do as women always do wind up bitter, childless, and grandchild-less.

There really isn't any honor more necessary, fitting, and beautiful than to be the hand that rocks the cradle. That of the child and the grandchild. I take umbrage with the idea that a woman's 'place' could be so used as an epithet. It is an unconscionable slur against women, and against matriarchy.

Ahhh, @roamer_1 . Please don't disappoint me in your intellect.

Not all women have the opportunity to "keep the hand on the cradle". Not all women end up bitter because things don't turn out their way.

Sometimes women have to make their own way in the world and can't afford to sit on the front porch waiting for their savior to ride up.

But maybe that isn't what you meant.

I said I hardly know a woman that doesn't long for it - The implication being that they can only wish it were so, as it is not available to them. But that, inevitably, is where their heart is in general.

That is not to cast aspersions on those whose lot has left them without - but rather to assert that the gold standard is still made of gold.

Sadly the state of our society has left it dang near unobtainable. But I will always honor those families who sacrifice themselves and their comfort to make it so.

I took a chance there.

Why do women have smaller feet?



So they can stand closer to the kitchen counter.

LOL

What does that mean for the men when the women are pregnant?

I wouldn't have minded even if you'd been wrong, lol.

Both appointments were made for reasons other than skills, qualifications or talent. Both were unearned.

In fact is she's uniquely unqualified for either of those positions.  A quick glance at her record and its clear we were saved from President Hillary by an act of Providence.
