We learned, as girls, who you could confide in, who you could trust, who would be there for you when you needed a good talk with an understanding confidante. The trustworthy, dependable girls weren't always the popular ones and student leaders. Sometimes it was the quieter girl who walked home with you after school. Sometimes the popular girl was also genuinely kind. We learned the importance of inner qualities and how to look for them.

Most of us, when we grew up, learned to spot a phony. Some women are very good at projecting what they want you to see, but if we learned that if you pay attention, some seemingly nice women aren't so much.

And, if we were fortunate, we learned the same things about men.

So we know better than to give our support to an untrustworthy woman with a history of lying and a penchant for nasty attacks on her competitors.

Women of conscience care about the millions of people who have been socially and financially abused by an unfair cultural and economic system. We understand the tremendous importance selecting the right person to lead the most powerful country in the world.

So we choose wisely.
