We've avoided the first woman president being someone whose biggest achievement was picking the right guy to marry.

Re: Le Pen. Despite straw-man caricatures, we don't support someone just because they are a woman.

For the admittedly heavy cost of Trump, American women made some progress this year. We had our first woman, major party nominee. She was unapologetic about being pro-choice and having feminist politics. Tens of millions of people saw her win three debates. She got the most votes. I'm happy about all of that. At this point the glass ceiling is so tattered and broken up, the next woman practically only has to poke her head over it.
