Lane3;

You don't get any prize in return for paying your dues but a chance

You get a chance by being born in America and having laws that protect you as a woman. There are some women like Ferraro and now it seems Hillary who think they are entitled. The phrase "paying your dues" most certainly implies something BEYOND "earning" the candidacy. What you think blacks haven't "paid their dues"? My gosh this line of thinking by women escapes me.

You earn a high school degree by "paying your dues" But that doesn't give you the right to be class valedictorian because of your gender......or race. You earn that right. Annnd you don't earn it by pouting in the bathroom.
