Hillary Clinton allies

Hillary Clinton's intention to become president caused a wide discussion about the equal rights of women in American society

Hillary Clinton's participation in the unfolding election campaign and the real prospect of the fact that she will become the first woman, the US President, again built gender issues to the category of the most priority in the country's political agenda.

We do not yet know the specific election platform of Clinton, but judging by the video clip that announced her plans , she is going to bet on the same groups of voters who brought two convincing victories in a row by her fellow Barack Obama. Today, young women are considered an important part of the Democratic electorate, primarily from national minorities who are just entering their work, and mothers raising children alone. And those and others, as it is customary to think, in a sharp way need the help of the state, and the democrats are ready to provide it much more willingly than the Republicans.

Women in America, despite the fact that they are arithmetic as the majority of the population, are still perceived by feminists of both sexes as a minority, and the exploited. The feminists are convinced that any forms of discrimination of women, until they are officially declared illegal, must be severely convicted as a gross violation of political correctness norms.

Will we see a woman-president in the White House in our lifetime? I was tempted to answer them: Yes, you wake up!

“It is regrettable to realize how long we have been waiting for the presidential campaign, in which there is a high probability that her woman would win,” said the famous American actress Gina Davis , who played the first woman-president in the television series “Supreme Commander-in-Chief”:

-When the series was walking, the journalists asked me: would we see a woman-president in the White House in our lifetime? I was tempted to answer them: Yes, you wake up! This will certainly happen - and the sooner the better. We can no longer sit back. If women will be advanced to the presidency of the same pace with which they go to Congress, then another five hundred years will pass before men and women will find equal chances of victory.

In almost all professions, Americans working full day receive an average of 22% less than white men

The fight of the democrats and republicans on the field of gender policy in the upcoming presidential campaign is inevitable, and among its many preludes there was the plot, the recently shown CNN television channel . The author begins with a compliment in America: in our country, teenage girls do not force parents to enter contractual marriages; Women also have the right to vote, receive secondary and higher education, leave the house without a husband’s permission and participate in litigation as jury. However, the authors of the plot continue, the USA is one of the only four countries of the world and the only economically developed that did not fix the woman’s right to paid maternity leave.

In almost all professions, Americans working full day receive an average of 22% less than white men. This gap increases to 36% in the case of black women, and in the case of Latin American - up to 44%. The norm of the representative office of women in the Congress is only 20%; Men who occupy the highest leading posts in the largest corporations are four times more than women, while in Norway women by law are allocated at least 40% of places in the Council of Directors of Corporations. And so on.

This statistics are politically controversial to the democrats, although its objectivity has repeatedly been questioned . In America several times a year, a day of struggle for equality of income is being held, and US President Barack Obama welcomes him:

- A woman should work three months more than a man to earn as much as he earns. In our century, this state of affairs is shameful. From a moral point of view. And ridiculous - with economic, since today almost every second worker in America is a woman. Republicans do not want to notice this injustice. So it seems to me. But it will be easy for them to prove that I am mistaken if they vote with us for a law prohibiting employers to pay women less than men, for the completion of the same work.

Even outstanding women who go to politics become objects of sexist attacks, the analyst of CNN CANNY HOSTIN says:

- See what epithets Hillary reward: rough, blackened, intriguing, heartless. In men-politicians, these qualities would not have paid attention to these qualities, and if they had paid it, it was only in a complementary sense.

The last peak of gender policy in America came to the 2012 election campaign, during which Obama and Democrats accused the Republicans of unleashing the War against Women, incriminating to opponents, in particular, that they want to ban abortion. Several marginal republican candidates played through the democrats, one of whom stated that abortion is not needed even when rape, because the victim of real rape can prevent conception. But already in the 2014 campaign, the thesis of the "War against Women" gave an misfire. The republican establishment resolutely dissolved the marginals, and many moderate voters were outraged by the desire of the left wing of the Democrats to oblige Catholic organizations to provide their employees with such medical insurance that would include the coating of expenses for abortion, actually compliance them with apostasy from the church canon.
