This time, Hillary will run as a woman

It seems that Hillary has found her outer woman, which is to say, she’s found the person that she wants to present on the campaign trail, and that person is resolutely female. This time she seems to have decided to fully embrace her womanhood as an asset in her quest for the White House and to trust that the voters will do the same.

Of course, Hillary hasn’t officially announced that she will be running for president — and Universal Studios has not officially announced that there will be a sequel to the blockbuster “50 Shades of Grey.” But it’s hard to imagine 2016 happening without both of those things, seeing as how they both have such excellent prospects of success.

Hillary recently spoke at a Silicon Valley conference for women in the tech field with the theme of “Lead On.” That lent itself nicely to the professional goals of the members of the audience as well as to Hillary’s own leadership goals.

She spoke of the dearth of women not only in the tech field, but in the ranks of Fortune 500 CEO’s. In fact, one recent diversity study found that the major S&P 1500 company boards had more men with the name John, Robert, William, or James on them than women of any name combined.

Hillary Clinton wants 2016 to be the Year of the Woman. And she wants to be The Woman.
