Bitch is the new black! ~ Tina Fey, SNL Weekend Update on Hillary Clinton

I have to admit when I watched Tina Fey's roundup of the media and gender in regards to Hillary Clinton, I literally cheered out loud, much to the chagrin of my sleeping husband. Exit polling this week has finally proven what many women, including Clinton, have been saying for a long time...it's more difficult for women to break those "glass ceilings" in politics than for men, including minority males. In the poll, 8% said they wouldn't vote for someone because of their race, but a whopping 12% said they wouldn't vote for a woman because of her gender. To be taken seriously as a woman, in many cases you must be better at everything yet still maintain your composure, lest you are addressed as hysterical, and keep your demeanor demure, lest you be known as a bitch. Well, I'm here to embrace all about me that is woman and fabulous and I say Hillary should too...including that compassionate side that can't always stay stoic, that motherly side that wants to fix what hurts (whether it's our kids, or our economy), and that bitch that just doesn't want to take it anymore, from those that don't want to believe in what the future for all Americans, including women, can be and want to keep others down. As it has been so beautifully put before, I'm a bitch, I'm a mother, I'm a child, I'm a lover, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I should not be ashamed...you know you wouldn't want me any other way.
