Hillary Clinton, one of the most known politics as of now in this day in age, can run for presidency as much as she desires. But, here are 5 reasons why she should not be the face of Feminism.
1. Class
Clinton, like most people in power within the United States, come from a higher class. As she is an advocate for women's empowerment, I believe that she tends to leave out the women who don't have the luxuries she attends to, strictly from her class.
2. White Privilege
Not only does she disregard the privilieges she is given from only her class, but we as other women enthusiast tend to forget her white privilege as well. Yeah she advocates for women throughout our country, but cannot and should not testify her struggles to speak for all races.
3. Her Age
As I'm sure she faces many different obstacles being a woman in the United States, I tend to argue that she faces many different barriers than most millennials do. And as the rise of feminism starts to come upon us, I would also argue that the face of feminism needs to communicate and relate to all interferences of all generations.
4. She's a Woman
The entire point of feminism, is for men and women to become politically, socially, and economically equal with each other. For someone to vote for Clinton, because she is a woman, contradicts the entire mark that feminism is trying to leave. Putting her in power over a man, is no less than choosing a man over her.
5. Her Spouse
Although she has had many of her own successes throughout her life, we also have to take into account who her husband is: Bill Clinton. Not only is Hillary privileged because of her race and class, but her husband was once the President of the United States. No matter her accomplishments on her own, she has also been honored with many connections just because her husband was once a powerful man.
