Hillary Clinton has fought for women’s rights around the world. But who would have dreamed that she would have to fight for them at home?
“Why extremists always focus on women remains a mystery to me,” she told an adoring crowd at the Women in the World Summit at Lincoln Center on Saturday. “But they all seem to. It doesn’t matter what country they’re in or what religion they claim. They want to control women. They want to control how we dress. They want to control how we act. They even want to control the decisions we make about our own health and bodies.
“Yes,” she continued to applause, “it is hard to believe that even here at home, we have to stand up for women’s rights and reject efforts to marginalize any one of us, because America needs to set an example for the entire world.” …
Dowd makes a case for a Hilary Clinton candidacy for US president in 2016.
Wow.

No mystery at all to those who believe in the supernatural and can grasp Genesis 3:15 – this hatred began at the dawn of time and won’t ever stop. Also helps to identify demonic activity.
On the other side of the issue, have you read Warren Farrell’s “The Myth of Male Power”? Had even Kim Hill speechless!
that would have a be an extreme interpretation of events i would have thought?
I believe in the supernatural – but im not entirely certain this kind of conclusion / interpretation is valid?
the monotheistic religions are all patriarchal in nature or so it seems – and a natural outcome of all this “knowing” that went on and is tracked in the myths and legends and bedtime stories of the old and new testaments and the Koran — quite clearly. I’ve even heard the apostle paul called a “bloody old misogynist..”
the question should also be asked – what do women do in return that could be termed negative or damaging to culture and life in general?
Supernatural – probably more to do with human nature.
God and his fellow ghostly myths probably have nothing to do with it.
