The women of Iraq and Afghanistan are a lot better off.

I guess that won't make the speech.

Sheesh. She must be talking about the men she currently hangs out wih. I don't know any men who do not listen to my voice, much less feel I shouldn't have a voice. But, then I spend my time with republicans.

Opinionated is Dem-speak for a crude boor.

Yup. It takes a certain type of outspokenness to earn a woman the label "opinionated".

I would never call Condolezza Rice "opinionated". Nor Margaret Thatcher, etc.

It's funny how a billionaire woman is arguing how women are oppressed.
