Excerpt:

What I have been hearing from feminists is not what either the liberal-Democratic or conservative-Republican media have so far addressed. I am not at liberty to go into details but here's the essence of what I have been told:

The Democratic Party leaders, despite their feminist-friendly agenda, did everything they could to destroy Senator Hillary's candidacy. The fact that she is a standard-bearer for Democratic party values and won eighteen million votes made no difference, not only because she came with "baggage," but also because she is a woman. This is why the "Hillary-ites" are so enraged and distraught. They have seen such behavior before from progressive-radical men and women who have said all the right feminist things (or promised future feminist activism) but who turned out to be no different than anyone else in terms of misogyny.
