In reply to the discussion: Dan Rather says the first woman president needs to be "GRATEFUL and HUMBLE". [View all]Lotusflower70
(3,077 posts)56. 2016 not 1950
Since it is 2016 and not 1950, grateful and humble are not going to get the work done. The racist crap came up with President Obama and now the sexist garbage is coming up with Hillary Clinton. Dan Rather, it is not up to you to tell a woman how to behave and what to do. Did anyone tell your sorry ass to be grateful and humble? So many men that don't have a clue about what this woman puts up with. So threatened by her that they try to diminish her. She will not be denied.

She will have officially kicked Trump's ass tomorrow. I can hear the fat lady clearing her throat.

Some men just can't resist telling women what they should think, say, do, wear, and feel.
