In fairness to them, some of the reason for the upset is righteous. Alexander Hamilton is not someone that people have a problem with, said the director of the Women On 20s campaign. Why kick the great man off the currency instead of the far more dubious Andrew Jackson? I couldnt agree more.
But thats not the only reason. Some feel that women are being, er, shortchanged:

Watch what happens next. Blacks will complain that there's no blacks on currency; then Hispanics, then transgendered...
It's never enough with leftists.
I don't know. Maybe an image of Mary L. Hayes, better known as Molly Pitcher, would certainly be tolerable.
“Put Lena Dunham on it. Thats her price, and her worth.”
What, wouldn’t she need to give $ 8.00 in change?
Hamilton was the only non-president on a bill - but he was a great and formative thinker. The 20 might actually be better, because Jackson had some pretty indefensible opinions and had spent a lot of his early years attacking the then Spanish Florida. I’d rather keep Hamilton than Jackson.
If they’re serious about the so-called “War on Women” they should feature Mary Jo Kopechne - with color-changing ink that turns blue under water.
Make a 3 dollar bill and put Catlin Jenner’s picture on it.
Why not put Bruce Jenner on the $3 bill?
I wouldn’t change one person on any of the bills. There’s something to be said for tradition.
“Hamilton was the only non-president on a bill”
Don’t forget Salmon P. Chase.
Breitbart.com’s Ben Shapiro: Redesign Is Just An Act To Make People “Feel Special.” Breitbart.com’s Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro dismissed the announcement by suggesting that it was because in this “moronic” country, “everyone deserves to feel special”:
In honor of our moronic country, let’s just put a mirror on the $10 bill, because everyone deserves to feel special.

Caitlyn?
You forgot about Franklin.
As long as the woman is Lady Liberty I’m fine with it. Other wise I’ll be caring a lot of Fives.
“I wouldnt change one person on any of the bills. Theres something to be said for tradition.”
That’s my idea.
I would not object really to Harriet Tubman or Molly Pitcher on a bill.
But I don’t like changing it just for the sake of changing it, and more so for the sake of leftist political correctness.
I say, if we want to begin removing people from the bills, change to animals or other natural beauty.
Why does it matter?
Paper will be use less after dear leader gets done.
Well, they kept telling us that women get paid half as much as men...
Yes, you’re right! I just don’t see 100s that often!
