Skeptical about a lot of what’s said in this article, but this is very sharp and absolutely true: “women of Hillary’s generation were raised by a generation of mothers, many of whom took jobs during WW2 to fill positions left vacant when men went off to fight. After the war, he says, most of them returned to domestic life — but they maintained the spirit of self-reliance, of independence, of worldly capability and achievement that they had gained during the war, and they passed it along to their daughters, Hillary among them. With this brilliant idea, Moore wrenches feminism away from the dubiously debated sixties and makes it the work of the Greatest Generation, the achievement not of the vacillating hedonists whom Moore lumps himself in with at the start but of the hard-fighting, hardworking, profoundly earnest and sternly principled ancestors who serve as heroic models for exactly the kind of people who might vote for Trump.”
