Goddess.

She was 100% right.

Amid a discussion of AIDS prevention, she was asked by an audience member about the prospects that masturbation could be more openly discussed and promoted as a means of keeping young people from riskier sexual activity.

“I think that it is something that’s part of human sexuality and it’s part of something that perhaps should be taught,” she said. “But we’ve not even taught our children the very basics. And I feel that we have tried ignorance for a very long time and it’s time we try education.”

[After comments on young people masturbating and being made to resign]

Clinton's chief of staff, Leon Panetta, remarked, "There have been too many areas where the President does not agree with her views. This is just one too many."

She had different views from Clinton's views on how young people should be channeling their sexuality? And that's a bad thing?

Very interesting read. Sad to see that her ideas regarding drugs, contraceptives and abortion already went into the right direction and still nothing substantially changed or changes were undone.

This quote from her is still very relevant today:

We really need to get over this love affair with the fetus and start worrying about children

She was so ahead of the curve! America wasn't ready for her, but she still did (and does) a lot of good
