I always thought that most of the establishment feminists were using their credentials as a way of clawing up the tree. To appeal to the voting women the parties need women who can talk the talk Hilary is one of these. When you look at what has happened in the US you realize in the last 25 years the major losers from domestic and foreign policy have been women – all under Hilary’s watch!

In reply to adam. ...agreed, and also when feminists silence people who speak out against people like Hillary Clinton simply because she calls herself a feminist this does not help anyone. Certainly not the women in Afghanistan.

I always thought feminism was at it’s strongest, when there was robust debate. Patriarch will fall, when men understand it oppresses them too. Thanks Chloe, another great piece.

In reply to Lara. ahh I had such difficulty writing this, I guess in some ways it is new territory for me so took longer to write. Plus I was so nervous when writing about RAWA and Joya because I admire them so much.

To be honest to feminists I have a bit of difficulty with the concept of patriarchy. To me Hillary stands as a beacon for the one percent of the one percent who rule the world. Those all powerful elite definitely look like a white boys club, how they have let a few ladies like Hillary and Condaleeza in on the act I dont know. What I do know is that these two ladies cannot be distinguished from the rest of the club.
