Society's Needed Female Model

Referring back to Leslie Griffith’s article “First lady needs to get beyond pretty in pink,” we are in need of finding a woman who can temper “the testosterone with reason and [can help] an often-isolated president the condition of the people living in the nation he governs for them.” Who can be the “hero” that young women “need” these days?

I suppose Hillary Clinton would be the person that Griffith slightly implies, for “Hilary in blue slacks” is a “nightmare” for the men. She is certainly a threat. To quote a male professor of my friend, “Hilary is the empowered woman – a woman as far as we know. She is the Judas goat (the one goat that leads the herd to slaughter) in her feminist views, but she’s working for the bigger conspiracy.” He even implies that she may not be a woman because of her actions.

The whole controversy as to whether Clinton should or should not be supported in her ways reminds me of a video I made back in High School in 2007 for a government/economics class (posted below.) The point of this “advertisement” was to show the different ways politics used propaganda and its various methods. (Can you catch them?)

Anyhow, I found my video quite fitting for this topic! It definitely shows the different aspects of Hillary Clinton, and I do applaud her for her bravery and willingness to continue to participate strongly in the political world.

Hillary Clinton - Bringing Sexy Back


Please excuse the amateur editing! Take some time and watch it ^^ It’s short enough~ You will definitely see the many faces of Hillary Clinton. I put a lot of thought in choosing the quotes and the different music choices at that time! (Ohh goodness, this video just shouts youth - and not in the good way)

Who else do you think would fit into the role of a contemporary female model?
