I get it. I really do.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I recall "The Woman Card" being a not-so-thinly veiled slam at women getting their way either unfairly over others, or through manipulation (think "batting eyelashes at a cop to get out of a ticket," or "crying because boss was mean and getting favorable attention because of that,"). Now, taking that slander and making an actual, official promotional tool for your Presidential campaign...
Wouldn't that be like Obama doing a gimmicky "Black Card" during his run?
It seems almost kind of offensive, (shoot me now, I just typed those fucking words I swore never to) like, a slap in the face to any woman buying that card let alone waving one around with pride. It's a... a symbol of what tantrums and manipulation will get you, over others, because of your ... well ... pussy.
I dunno. Seems like it's something people should be getting all offended at, but instead we're yelling at college kids wearing sombreros on Cinco de Mayo. Weird.

She is an old southern woman from Arkansas. while Ronald Reagan was unfucking jimmy carter's messes, she was on the board of directors for wallmart.
She does not understand the common person, she never will. Unless you have millions of dollars, you are just a little person and a means to an end.
