My problem with the pay gap is simply the fact it exists. One could argue, "It exists because women don't have as many positions in power as men", but then,
why don't they? Because of education? Then why don't women complete the same amount of education as men? Because of children? Why aren't so many father helping out, or rather, why is it preventing women from succeeding when it is a natural biological process? The latter is especially sexist and awful. Regardless, the very fact it exists means that there is something causing the pay gap - which isn't equality. If it was between a few women and men, of course it would most likely be on factors such as experience, work hours, and asking for raises; but the very fact it is occurring on a
global scale is the issue that needs to be addressed.
She is focusing on overcoming them???? She's running for President.
The gender issue is one she is at the center of, as are many other women - How on earth would one run for President and
not address huge issues that impact one's life every single day.
I understand what you're trying to say with height, height and gender are insanely different things. Gender identity is one of the major classifying characteristics of a person - it's on your passport for heaven's sake. We participate in activities, treat other people differently, and live our whole lives based on genders. While short people might be not be picked for an NBA basketball team, the reason is because their skill level doesn't make up for their lack of height - Or rather, those who are tall have an advantage and so are picked. There should be no difference between a man and a woman - yet they are treated differently because why? Women are inadequate compared to men? No we are not! Women shouldn't need to overcome the modern day image of a woman, yet we are forced to because the image exists. It shouldn't exist.
You say people face their own individual challenges, however think of it this way. The patriarchy of societies* oppresses practically every single woman on the planet, giving them a barrier to overcome. By Clinton advocating for the getting rid of these issues, women (and hopefully men!) are 'combining' to attack the issue full force, breaking down the barrier. As I said earlier, an individual being oppressed is their own problem. But when it becomes a global trend, obviously there's a problem that needs to be fixed.

If abortion is killing a human baby, then surely periods do the same thing. Why not, as soon as a girl gets her period, we impregnate her to become a baby machine until she hits menopause. That way, no baby would ever have to die!
With all seriousness, the decision to have a baby is already incredibly hard, let alone choosing to have an abortion. Should we really be making it harder for women, by 'damning them to hell'? We only would ever want the best for our children, and sometimes, that's by aborting them and preventing them from a life of suffering.
No, I can't deny it could possibly might be murdering the innocent baby's potential. But more often, isn't abortion typically performed on mothers who wouldn't be able to provide for their children.

Sometimes people say that you could be 'aborting the child who would cure cancer'. But, what if the mother wasn the one? If the baby was born, the mother would most likely have to quit her job to support a baby she didn't plan to have - she'd have to adjust her lifestyle to accommodate the new child. In an unplanned pregancy, most of the time you are either choosing between a quality life for the mother, or a meager life for the mother and child.
As I said before, abortion is pro-quality of life.
It is also pro-choice. The father has the ability to run away, yet the mother is stuck with a child.
not everyone would want to take care of a baby stranded on their doorstep, yet this is what anti-abortion does.
I 1000% agree with you.
Though, my problem is that fathers can physically run away from the child. The mother cannot, unless she purposefully causes (a dangerous!!!!!!!!!) miscarriage. I don't believe fathers should run away, but they can. Mothers can't.
I feel like that's more Buzzfeed's doing tbh. Obama has proved, that though it's clear to most of us, black people perform well in positions of power. Clinton being president would prove same. she has so, so much experience in politics, and wonderful policies.
Just as society advances, it's only natural for individuals to change their stances as it becomes more socially acceptable, and people aren't so negative towards those who support it. While it's understandable people attack politicians for wanting to win votes by changing stances, it's important to remember they are people too. Clinton has been in the spotlight for over 10 years (probably 20 or something crazy like that). That's a long time. Just because at the beginning of those years, she didn't support gay marriage, doesn't mean she can't change her mind to reflect how she's matured and how shes valued. She has always valued the bond between two people, but now (actually for around 5 or so years!) she realises that gays can be celebrated to, and so supports that.
Right back at you, and I even threw in more ahaha. I think I covered everything, I'm not too sure though
