Wish I was this "oppressed"

Read A college balks at Hillary Clinton’s fee, books Chelsea for $65,000 instead and ask yourself if you'd mind being as oppressed as Chelsea and Hillary (or Gloria Steinem too, for that matter). Excerpt:

'When the University of Missouri at Kansas City was looking for a celebrity speaker to headline its gala luncheon marking the opening of a women’s hall of fame, one of the names that came to mind was Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But when the former secretary of state’s representatives quoted a fee of $275,000, officials at the public university balked. “Yikes!” one e-mailed another.

So the school booked the next best option: her daughter, Chelsea.

The university paid $65,000 for Chelsea Clinton’s brief appearance Feb. 24, 2014, a demonstration of the celebrity appeal and marketability that the former and possibly second-time first daughter employs on behalf of her mother’s presidential campaign and family’s global charitable empire.
...
So the university turned back to others, eventually choosing Chelsea Clinton when the agency indicated she was willing. Just shy of her 34th birthday, Clinton commanded a higher fee than other prominent women speakers who were considered, including feminist icon Gloria Steinem ($30,000) and journalists Cokie Roberts ($40,000), Tina Brown ($50,000) and Lesley Stahl ($50,000), the records show.
...
“As my mother has observed, equal rights for women and girls remains the unfinished business of the 21st century,” she said, according to a university account of her remarks. “We will only complete this business if we are equally committed and we highlight the role models we are already blessed to have.”'

He said she was happy to “celebrate the legacy of women in their community.”

Do they even realize what they are celebrating?

The legacy of a woman, Chelsea, who did nothing other than to be the daughter of a president. That is not a legacy. And even if it were... she is, what? 30 years old and has a legacy?

Legacy? Legacy?

Trivial, inexperienced legacy, if you ask me. Goodness, how feminists throw words around, trivializing the subtlety of their meaning to advance arrogance.
