The United states Declaration of Cleavage

“And whom should Persuasion summon;
Here, to soothe the sting of your passion this time?
Who is now abusing you?
Who is treating you cruelly? [THE MEDIA]
Give me All I long for, [THE NOMINATION]
In all my battles, Fight as my comrade” (1)
Sappho, an ancient Greek poet from sometime between 630 BC and 612 BC, possessed a unique freedom to express her thoughts and cares and live as she wanted to. It’s only in the last hundred or so years that women of Western cultures could ‘boast’ that kind of freedom.
In a masculine world in which females are generally presented as suffering and often guilty victims of tragedy and emotion, it is refreshing (and empowering!) to have Hillary Clinton standing for us now.
Strong women are the definition of humanity - - they have SENSE and sensuality. Yes, I may be a bitch and a tease, but as Sheryl Crow once professed, a goddess on my knees.
