Hillary Clinton: The clock is turning back for women in America

Article here. Excerpt:
'Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America.
"As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said. “But in places around America, large and small, the clock is turning back,” she said, noting that women in America live “shorter lives” than any other industrialized country.
...
Clinton called for "equal pay" for working women as well as paid family and medical leave benefits.
"[I]f America is going to lead the way we expect ourselves to lead, we need to empower women here at home to participate fully in our economy and our society," she said.'

Not to put too fine a point on it...
... but I do believe if the floor of the hallway leading to the venue in which she spoke was covered by the bodies of dead or dying men, she'd complain to the audience that it's hard for a woman to step over the bodies of men on their way to someplace and that this was a source of inequality and oppression of women that required massive gov't intervention to addess.
