"Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval."

Karl Marx
Though it sounds like a Hillary-isim, Karl said it.
EDIT: Note to Lain G
Actually the rest of Marx's quote is
Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.

The feminine is the gateway to the spiritual. Doors are opened that only the feminine can open. Feminist males are not "gay", they only realize that the feminine is neccessary in order to have a true spiritual outlook. Karl or Hilary's comment was probably derived intially from chinese religious teachings on the subject.
Science, as it turns out, is a spiritual field. Scientists tend to have brains that are more feminized. That has been determined. Having some aspects of the feminine in one's cognition improves analytical thinking.
Socialism has not been "disproven". We need a certain amount of smart socialism in order for the country to run smoothly. The pendulum must swing from sociailsm to conservatism. Politics is a process, not a destination where we know "certain things are definitely bad". Sometimes history will teach us, other times it will teach us nothing. Circumstances change, it's a balancing act.
With the stagnant way politics is now conducted in America, we could use some more female leaders. It would open some doors to good practices and policies. Our current path is one of dogma and entrenched law. Looking at congress, nothing gets done. That is because males have been in power for too long.
If she runs, Hilary has my vote. In the words of Devo, from the song, "That's good": It's a monumental good thing. And about time.

Neither. Marx did not focus on feminism in his writings. Hillary is not a socialist.
To compare the two of them is far-right dogmatism.

You seem to have a problem telling them apart. That being the case, you have better uses for your time than placing idiotic provocations here. You need to get educated.

Hillary Clinton, the hypocrite who stayed with her cheating husband to further her political career. Way to go Hillary.
