Day 29: Feminism

If the above video does not play, click here for an external link to the video.

With the nomination of Hillary Clinton, the first woman to be nominated as a candidate for president of a major national party, many are focused on the question of women's rights, women's achievements and feminism.  There are some who are feeling a pressure to vote for Mrs. Clinton simply because she is a woman.  This is similar to the accusation of racism levied against those who oppose President Barak Obama (including those who did not vote for him).  Just because one does not vote for or agree with Mr. Obama does not, IN ANY WAY, make them a racist.  Similarly, just because one does not vote for or agree with Mrs. Clinton IN NO WAY makes them a close minded, women-hating, ignorant Neanderthal.  As Martin Luther King, Jr. advocated, it is possible and even commendable to judge according to the content of character and not by the color of skin or one's chromosomes.  The video above discusses fundamental tenets of feminism.
