Strong Women FTW!!!

Behold as Carmela Soprano really lets Tony have it as she blasts him for being unfaithful to her. And then Tony says some stupid ridiculous things about Carmela staying married to him for his money and power and the other material things he brings to Carmela's life.

Total bullshit! Carmela is a strong empowered woman who stayed with Tony because she loves him. And also for the kids. And she is a living embodiment of the values of compassion, fidelity, grace, womanly martyrdom and sacrifice just like Hillary Clinton.

Sometimes, strong women stay married to rich, famous, powerful well-connected men who cheat on them, give them expensive presents and make them powerful by proxy. This doesn't make such women weak or unscrupulous. It makes them martyrs.

Martyrdom is one the key ways in which Strong White Feminists gain sympathy. It's a good thing. We just have to make sure those colored types don't get too much of it.

Ever yours in Sisterhood!
