When women were women

This time, Hillary will run as a woman

Hillary looks like the most promising Democrat so I hope she gets the nomination and, of course, that she makes it to the White House.

All the same, the vast majority of women were better off when the economy allowed them to stay home - what most women wanted to do and what working class women still want to do, anyway - and take care of the house and kids.

If the women who count - college educated, middle class and above - had not decided to abandon home and family for the psychic rewards and cash independence of middle class careers the vast change in our economy, the progressive impoverishment of the working class that has forced tens of millions of women to work in crappy jobs they bitterly hate rather than stay home as they so long to do, would be one of the most important issues of American politics.

And it's not.

Dead silence.

Hillary will do her best to get more of what they want for those middle class and above women.

She will throw a sop, now and again, to the working class women without for one moment acknowledging that feminism has betrayed them from the first day.

You know, in my experience working class women want abortion to be legal as much as any others.

But when the thing happens they don't want abortions and don't get them.
