9. I am always more impressed

with the achievements that incredible women make in their respective fields than I am with men's. While both genders do amazing things, the fact that a woman usually has to work through systematic and often very subtle discrimination at every level to do that amazing thing makes their achievements that much more impressive in my opinion.

In regards to Clinton, while I disagree with some of her politics, I am very glad she has made it so far and has shown the world that women will not be held back by any traditionally male dominated areas. I know she's inspired at least a few girls I know, and should I ever have daughters I plan to teach them about Clinton and Valentina Tereshkova and Sally Ride and many more. It's incredible what changes a strong female role model can bring about in a young girl's attitude towards her future. Though I'm not a woman, I was (and am) lucky enough to have my mom (an electrical engineer, a field definitely male dominated) to teach me all of this, and I hope to pass her strength on to whatever girls I get the chance to mentor.
