On the final day of Senator Clinton's campaign...

...a link to a great video by the Women's Media Center that highlights some of the sexism that her campaign was heir to.

A lot of this footage isn't new, but it's a bit startling to see it all at once like this.

For all you new wave feminists out there who think your mothers and aunts and older female friends and relatives have antiquated views regarding the difficulty that women continue to face in pursuing power in the boardroom, in the classroom, and on Capitol Hill.

For all of you who think that the glass ceiling shattered long ago and the Gloria Steinem's of the world should just get over it.

For all of you who think feminism is - much like free love and bed-in's for peace - a quaint product of a bygone era.

This one's for you.
