I'm going to the opening of Hillary Clinton's Central Florida office this evening. When I wrote earlier that I was now supporting Hillary, I talked about acknowledging my own baggage and identifying more with her than I had been willing to admit.
As I read about the negative reaction of some younger women to Hillary and feminism, I wonder if their response derives, in part, from the fact that they haven't lived long enough to accumulate much baggage themselves. Life is messy. Compromise, injudicious decisions, real mistakes are the stuff of life. But try telling that to a twenty-something year old. I know I wouldn't have listened when I was that age.
