"Clinton Policies Have Hurt Women"

38. The article didn't give very many good examples

I loved the "trickle down feminism" line.
The article points out that Hillary is much like those women in management I've seen over the years. They have to out man the men around them. Just like the Clintons had to out Republican the Republicans around them under Bill Clinton.

Hillary supported Bill's Welfare "reform", NAFTA, tough on crime stance which adversely affected the Af-Am and Latino community. Crack had higher penalties than Cocaine. Another devastating blow to minorities. Of course Glass-Steagal repealed and telecommunications act adversely affected everybody.

The Clinton Foundation has accepted huge donations from regimes who do not promote the rights of women. So Hillary talks a big story across the world then puts her hand out for money from some of the most repressive regimes for women in the world.

Hillary co-sponsored the Lily Ledbetter Fairness act but women still make .7 of what men make. So now its the Paycheck Fairness Act. Maybe it will work. Like all Dems she supports choice (except last trimester), emergency contraception, and planned parenthood. She also talks about family leave and affordable childcare. I haven't seen it. She advocates at committees overseas a lot. But that's just talk.

She's very tepid with healthcare, living wage increases, and education. She won't do much about fossil fuels and the environment. She won't take on the banking system, promote small business, get rid of payday loan and other predatory banking practices. She does say she will fix social securities injustice with women. That's good. I don't know how much she will really fight for things because she can't really push the donor class to pay their fair share of taxes. She's too beholden to them.

I think the scariest thing with her is her hawkishness. Again, she's trying to out man every man around her. Out Republican the Republicans. And the Clinton foundation makes a ton of money from donations from the military-industrial complex and dictatorships around the world. While women and children, the old become collateral damage in her wars.

Hillary is a woman and I'd love to see a woman president. We are overdue. But does she have the best of stereotypical women's values? Health, hearth and home, peace, love, humanity, generosity, kindness? These are the qualities I look for in the Dems. Bernie has them. I don't think Hillary does, just like this article said.
