From Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris to 10,000 teenage girls: 'Speak up' (barf alert)
Los Angeles Times ^ | 12/15/2017 | Sonali Kohli

Female politicians are used to finding themselves in rooms full of men.

But on Friday, two of the nation’s most prominent political women got the chance to address 10,000 girls.

Hillary Clinton and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) shared their experiences and offered advice to the young women in middle and high school at the annual Girls Build L.A. leadership summit in downtown Los Angeles.

Girls Build is a program of the nonprofit L.A. Promise Fund, which aims to help students throughout L.A. County reach academic, personal and professional success. Both Harris and Clinton encouraged the young women to find issues they are passionate about and be active in changing what they don’t like about the world. But they had some more specific advice, too:

1. Be more prepared than everyone else

“It’s hard being the only woman in the room, and I’ve had that experience lots of times. So that’s why you’ve got to be really prepared. You have to understand what it is you’re there for,” Clinton said. “You go in as well- or better-prepared than anyone else … and then you have to be able to read people and talk about … why they each should support your position.”

Clinton said men have often taken credit for her ideas in the mostly male settings she’s been in.

“You will present an idea and nobody will pay attention to it, and then a little later a man will say the same thing and everybody will say it’s a great idea,” she said.

She’s diplomatic, she said, but she doesn’t let that stand. She claims the credit she deserves.

That never, ever happens to men. [eyeroll]

Have women STOPPED speaking up since, say, the turn of the century, especially via social media etc.?

Remember that Bill Bixby Incredible Hulk episode where a dainty young blonde girl had been brainwashed by some evil people that she was incapable of walking and therefore needed a wheelchair? It took Bixby hulking out and nearly drowning in quicksand to convince her she was perfectly healthy.

The Democrat/Hillary/Harris Speak Up nonsense is doubly insidious because a) it’s a lie and b) it’s the usual attempt to get otherwise normal (?) people to look in the mirror and convince themselves they are victims.

In fact, most ‘empowerment’ nonsense is of the same variety.

IOW, create problems and then demand the imposition of solutions. Just like tyrants do.

Those two should produce films for Lifetime Television (aka The Women’s Channel). Lifetime is famous for showing movies that portray men in a bad light.

"Clinton said men have often taken credit for her ideas in the mostly male settings she’s been in"

I have yet to see indications that Shrillary ever had a decent idea about anything. Certainly in political campaigns the "ideas" that have been attributed to her are generally the stupid ones.

Only the boss in charge has the good idea. He or she better understand the nature of presentation, timing, and the selling of your good ideas. That is how it works. Get used to it. Particularly if you want to see your good ideas funded, sustained, and realized.

What if the person you’re speaking up against has a professional, taxpayer funded team, directed by his wife, who’s only job is to make sure you don’t speak up and you end up dead?

Hillary usually spends all her time denying she had any ideas about anything.

Beebe Gallini spoke up with no knowledge of factory design, architecture, or application of rationale, and simply wants something "fun and dazzling".

At one point, she tells Mike she wants her factory to have a flip-top roof that opens like a compact. Or maybe fluffy, she muses, like a powder puff. Then she decides that no, maybe it should be tall, “like a lipstick.”

Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) advice to young girls, “Find a powerful older man and assume a position underneath him (if you know what I mean, wink, wink). In exchange for various favors he will start your political career. Just remember to use the word “mentor” to describe the relationship, not concubine.”

One of these women enabled a sexual predator. And the other refused to investigate/prosecute them.

Perfect poster girls for the left.
