So, Hillary is playing the "woman card." Well, it is in the deck along with the misogynist card,
the sexist card, and the Stepford wife card and the racism card as well as the homophobic card.
My sister-in-law who is black reminds me of the time when she went into her office the morning after the Geraldine Ferraro VP candidate debate against George Bush. All the white women (all high ranking admin assistants and secretaries to the directors in this renown Federal agency) in the office were outraged that Geraldine was so "disrespectful" and "rude" to the elder statesman. "How dare she be so belligerent toward this fine man who held such high rank wishing the government." They were ALL incredulous about Geraldine's performance. My sis-in-law was so out done by their comments that she almost lost her job (lowest paid clerk in the office). Won't go into all the details about that era or her difficult time dealing with, what we refer to as the "Stepford wives syndrome" which has two both a male side and a female side.
So people wonder why many black females will vote for Hillary. Just suffice it to say, they aren't Stepford wives, never have been, never will be. They have worked hard to care for their families during the most difficult times fighting both black and white male abuses. They see in Hillary a fighter just like many of themselves. Women holding their families together against all odds. Not all black women are single moms with out-of-wed-lock children to raise. Many are struggling, loving, smart mothers keeping it real, recognizing the challenges their spouses face...forgiving when necessary, fierce when need be, and faithful to protecting their families.
