I didn't support her, but Hillary Clinton's defeat in the Democratic primary was a shame. Her loss was truly a result of blatant and ignorant sexism. The predominant portrayal of Hillary Clinton was that she was "a big bitch." She was shown as shrill, aggressive, and unfeminine. She was questioned as to why she wore pantsuits instead of more girly attire. Seriously, it was a backwards, hateful, misogynist shit-show that cost her the nomination.
Alas, a great opportunity for feminism was lost with Clinton's defeat. But a new opportunity arises with the position of First Lady. Who better to promote the feminist cause as First Lady than a strong black woman? Michelle Obama has the confidence, accomplishment and intellectual weight to serve as a true beacon for the movement.
