Representation matters.
– [Presenter] How many
young girls are raised today
too afraid to speak their own minds?
Scared of being attacked
for having an opinion.
Fearful of being called bossy, arrogant.
How many of them just stay silent?
It’s time to turn the corner
on the all too familiar phenomenon
of what happens when a
woman speaks her mind.
Because that’s just
what we’re seeing today
with Kristin Clarke,
and with Vanita Gupta,
two brilliant and qualified women,
nominated for powerful roles
within the Biden administration,
smeared and vilified,
despite their qualifications
and widely accepted views.
Would this be happening if
these were men nominated?
What are you afraid of, senators?
It’s time to throw those
double standards overboard,
for Clarke, and for Gupta,
and for all the young women
out there who yearn to lead,
if only given examples to follow.
It’s time.
