Go read it: Good-bye to all that No. 2

Hillary Clinton supporter, writer, and feminist Robin Morgan posted this essay on the Women's Media Center site earlier this month. Thanks to MOMocrats reader Cathy for sliding it our way.

This was great! And the WMC is a great organization. I'm actually attending some seminars there!

Thanks for sharing that.
I especially liked this paragraph:

Goodbye to some young women eager to win male approval by showing they’re not feminists (at least not the kind who actually threaten thestatus quo), who can’t identify with a woman candidate because she is unafraid of eeueweeeu yucky power, who fear their boyfriends might look at them funny if they say something good about her. Goodbye to women of any age again feeling unworthy, sulking “what if she’s not electable?” or “maybe it’s post-feminism and whoooosh we’re already free.” Let a statement by the magnificent Harriet Tubman stand as reply. When asked how she managed to save hundreds of enslaved African Americans via the Underground Railroad during the Civil War, she replied bitterly, “I could have saved thousands—if only I’d been able to convince them they were slaves.”
