Regardless, tonight I saw women who battled their way into the House and Senate, who fought so hard to lay the path for other women to go further than they were able to, women who were emotional because finally, we're represented. Finally, we have someone at the table.
These women whose mothers and grandmothers were part of the suffragette movement, who now know their daughters and granddaughters can dream of being the most powerful person in the world are affected by this moment.
This may seem silly to someone whose rights to vote, own land, etc, etc were never in question. But for people who have had to fight for every step forward--every step is amazing and touching.

Well I'm not a woman nor am I even watching the DNC so I'm not in the same emotional zone as you I guess so for that I apologize if I came across as insensitive. I didn't even realize my post would be regarded so negatively for stating what you yourself agree is the obvious.
If this opens the gates for other women who are good leaders to have the confidence to run then that's good. I think gender is largely irrelevant though because the nation is in desperate need of quality leadership regardless of sex.
