A letter to Hillary: Please play the gender card. (HILLARY SUPPORTERS GROUP)

[DeepModem Mom]

....When I was 10, you inspired me because you were an intelligent, hard-working and opinionated person who happened to be female. Now that I'm older, however, I've seen that intelligence, ambition and verve are not determinate of success. I've experienced how gender can be a barrier.

And so I'm asking more of you. I'm most inspired by you when you speak openly and honestly about your gender. Lately, I haven't heard many of these candid reflections from you. At the New Hampshire Democratic Convention you said, "If standing up for women is playing the gender card, then deal me in." If you said more things like this more often, I would be all in.

I don't want to hesitate the next time I'm asked to volunteer for your campaign. I don't want to watch my aunt defect to the Biden camp (if he decides to run). I want to feel just as inspired as when 10-year-old me first read your biography. So please do play the gender card.

Please do elevate the discussion. Remind us every day that we need to put more cracks in the glass ceiling.

1. Having grown up in the same time frame as Hillary, there was many times being a female hindered

Me from getting positions because "it was a man's job", I was able to get one of those positions later, worked hard to prove myself more than once and this continued through the 90's. I was much more fortunate than earlier generations and I hope people like Hillary can continue to influence female there isn't anything we can't achieve. Thanks to young brave women like this writer for aspiring to be great.

Thanks Mom for posting.

2. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. I tend to agree with this young woman. Hillary...

is going to need inspired womens' votes.

3. I like when she described being a woman

as one of her merits. One that no other democratic candidate has.

She needs to remind us, everytime she speaks, of this very important merit that she alone has.
