In one corner, Clinton stood with Ellen Malcolm -- the founder of Emily's List, the nation's largest political action committee and a powerful voice for Democratic pro-choice women's issues -- who said the New York senator's bid for the White House represents a watershed moment for women.

A watershed moment implies a rupture in time, after which things no longer exist as we know them. Our norms, rules, and institutions become obsolete because they cannot fully account for transformed conditions of life. Such a moment urges us to re-define foundations of our social existence, of our relationship to others as well as to ourselves. Nevertheless, re-definition attempts are always imbued with power inequalities and the perceived exigency of transformation may legitimize violations of previously achieved guarantees against abuses of power. It is therefore extremely crucial to critically reflect upon (what is claimed to be) a transformative moment and which parts of our social, political, and legal ideals it demands to re-define.

If Hitlery is elected it will not only be a watershed moment for women, it will be a watershed moment for our nation.
As willing as Hitlery has been shown to use abuse of power as a tool, I would expect nothing less than the same with her in the White House as top dog.
