There is a special place in Hell....for women who try to tell me how to vote.

So, I am really getting sick of these women telling other women that they need to vote for Hilary Clinton, because women have to support women.  Specifically, Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State, told a group a few days ago that "there is a special place in Hell for women who don't support other women."   I won't even go into Gloria Steinem saying young girls support Bernie Sanders because "that is where the boys are."  How offensive.   Thanks, Ms. Steinem, for all that faith in women.  You hold yourself out as a role model for women.  You should be ashamed.

I could not be more offended, and any woman, whether or not she supports a woman candidate, should be offended.  This quote, which apparently Ms. Albright first said years ago, was allegedly originally aimed at older women not helping younger ones get a leg up in the workforce.  The problem is, that to now suggest that any woman should vote for a woman candidate simply because she is a woman candidate, is itself sexist, and also suggests that we women can't think for ourselves, and can only vote for a candidate because she is a woman.

Conversely, there is a 19 year old woman who goes to the University of New Hampshire, who apparently understands.  According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Quincy Abramson, said (and there is always a chance this quote is not 100% what she said, but according to the Inquirer, Ms. Abramson said) "To me, feminism is about choices, and women should not be made to feel bad about their choices. I believe (Bernie Sanders) is better.  Picking Hillary (Clinton) just because of her gender is sexism."

Yay for Quincy!!  She gets it.  We shouldn't vote for a person just because she is a woman candidate, just as we shouldn't vote for a black candidate just because she/he is black, etc.  For now, for the United States, we need to pick the best candidate.   That is it.  Not the (fill-in-the-blank) candidate. Just the best candidate.
