Fight to death for a woman...

Or how might one read Hillary’s resilience …

The world is learning something new, with Hillary’s resilience and what appears to be her incoherence about not quitting, not dropping out of the race. One must respect her for being a tenacious fighter. That quality is due to her ambition, her up scaled smartness, her history as a woman who learned fighting to survive as an adolescent and as the wife of a tremendous philanderer. She knows how to fight. We know all that. What is new, and never occurred in the world, is the fact that she is a woman fighting for the hardest job in the world. For her, and for millions of other women, who think correctly that it is time for women to have, in a new way, their say about the running of the world, this stake seems to be above all logic and coherence. The end justifies the means. For them, and also for men who may hear women pleading Hillary’s case, it becomes commonplace that Hillary, Bill, Chelsea, and all women supporting her presume that Hillary is above all the rules. They allow her to hurt all around her: herself, the Democratic Party, even America. They forgive her all her errors because for them, to have a woman as American President is more important that preserving the health of an American political party. All these people are just sympathetic of a WOMAN who needs this job first of all for herself, in order to heal as much as possible all the wounds she got in life.

What is also new then? What might we learn about that? We might learn that as men we should rethink our perception of politics when women are involved. We should know that we used to playing political games made and created for men. We should know that murky rules may not be understood and accepted by women. We should remember that rules may not be rules when they sum up a woman’s defeat. It is not that women are wrong; it is that they are women. Any man, in Hillary’s situation, would have already quit. We might learn that coherence, as understood and taught by men, is not womanly behaviour when a woman is fighting for her life. Politics is Hillary’s whole life. Hillary’s life is, for Hillary, above all: the Democratic Party, America. Hillary’s mistake and that of Bill: they are wrong to take America as their bedroom. Their fate: a clearheaded fresh senator named Barack Obama who fell out of the blue with a dream for America.

In the end, it appears that nowadays the Democratic race for nominee is no longer a battle between an African American male and a white woman, but a fight to death for a woman. That is why I am proud of all those men with generous heart who stand behind Senator Hillary Clinton. My question: at what point will they start being foolish, when the new stake is to unite the Democratic Party to win in November.
