Chelsea Clinton

June 22, 2016


So much changes when people get invested in how their public personas or other people's public personas, deserved or not, affect and are affected by each other in what perhaps can only be described as battle.

It was not difficult to think of the page that I published when you had your first baby.  This time, I didn't know what to say.

Congratulations; that seems like a polite if not brilliant start.

The last time, I was able to publish a picture.  This year, I can't; this blog was disabled from publishing pictures months ago.  

What is the definition of manhood that will be accepted as the social norm by the time that your son is 18?  How will he think that girls and women ought to be treated?  

I am not trying to have a closer relationship to you or anyone from your family than this type of interaction online; I like my distance from the world where you have to live.  

I don't want you to feel constricted by code for the things that you have to do or choose to do for your children or for how you live your life.  Unequivocal statements against crime and human rights abuses, from the content of what people actually say to the laws that they pass and respect, are more important than code; when people are sincere about their causes, they won't abuse language or symbolism to subvert them.  Another generation should not have to live according to conglomerate dictates; your children should have all of the world that you're able to give to them.  Everybody should have that.
