There are some glass ceilings Hillary Clinton has no interest in cracking. Asked during a town hall event in New Hampshire on Monday whether she would ever consider accepting the position of first female vice president, Hillary suggested that she was only interesting in making history if she gets to be president. "Hypothetically speaking, no," she said in response the VP question.
This might explain why millennial feminists aren't very fond of Hillary, as documented in this Daily Beast report:
Erica Brandt, 27, dismissed Clinton’s feminism as "almost first-wave" and tediously similar to Sheryl Sandberg’s privileged "Lean In" manifesto.
"It’s fine for middle class white people, but it completely ignores intersectionality," Brandt, who grew up in Boston and works in education policy, told The Daily Beast. She worked on Obama’s 2008 campaign, and considers herself a left-leaning Democrat.
"Feminism that doesn’t include rights for the poor, for minorities, the non-cis is just not feminism to me," she added. "Rich white women don’t get to make the rules for everyone, or at least they shouldn’t."
Representatives for the feminist publication bluestockings declined to be interviewed for the Daily Beast piece because they would "rather not expend energy discussing Clinton or her superficial, actively anti-intersectional, and carceral definition of and approach to feminism."
