you know who i feel bad for right now? hillary rodham. i feel bad for the woman who’s been told ever since she was the first lady of arkansas that she had to be less herself, less authentic, less feminist, less anti-segregation, less forceful and opinionated, that she should be awkwardly smiling, dye her hair, change her name to clinton and love every second of the status quo. so she dyed her hair, changed her name, stayed on message and started smiling more. and then she was criticized again as flotus, again for being involved, for caring about social issues, for being too radical and daring to want universal health care.
and now everyone complains how she’s not authentic enough, not left enough, doesn’t have the courage of her convictions. yeah uh, there’s a reason for that: america always hated her authentic self.
hillary clinton is deeply flawed, i will never deny that… but damn i want hillary rodham to get her due.
