Hillary Clinton is not my idea of a great Presidential candidate. But I may vote for her anyway because I want to see one of us get elected to the most powerful job on earth.

Every time a rap lyric that includes the words “bitches” and “hos” is played, I want Hillary Clinton to win.
Every time I hear ignorant male talk show hosts drool and blather about some woman’s chest or backside, I want Hillary to win.
Every time I read about the psycho nutcases in parts of Africa and Asia that rape and permanently mutilate women for “reasons” like ethnic genocide, ignorance about female sexuality, profit from child prostitution or for the simple fact that they don’t believe that little girls should go to school, I want Hillary to win.
Every time I see a movie like “The Magdalene Sisters”, I want Hillary to win.
