(9,904 posts)63. I'm not sure you would ever be able to understand exactly why this is so wrong,
The old adage, walk a mile in my shoes could easily apply, I don't pretend to understand your fears but I would at least attempt to try to alleviate them or try harder to explain my own, we humans are a judgemental, self serving, egotistical lot for the most part, which we can use to either hinder or enlighten our future selves but the reality is our wiring is different and society only ensures it alters little, you cannot change that....
I wouldn't worry, if Hillary does get the Hot Seat I have no doubt she will not at least immediately begin acting like she knows what she is talking about and surround herself with only female advisors...men will still exist ....
