It hit me all of a sudden while I listened to my parents marvel at the fact that we actually had an African-American president. All I could think was that we still had a male president. It surprised me because I thought all my bitterness over Hillary's loss was gone. I like Obama, I do, and even if I've never drunk the Kool-aid I think he can do really great things for this country.

But I can't seem to forget all the misogynistic things I heard when Clinton was running.


This sums up my thoughts entirely. I still don't think I drank the Kool-aid (LOL!) but I am very happy to see the Democrats in power. I just really would have preferred Hillary, and sexism remains an extremely sensitive subject for me. I'm glad I'm not the only one still has feelings of bitterness. =)
