Be kind to the women in your life today. It's...not easy. I almost started bawling in my office when I read this in her email: "So if you leave with only one thing, it must be this: Choose to fight only righteous fights, because then when things get tough — and they will — you will know that there is only option ahead of you: nevertheless, you must persist." We will, Senator Warren. Even though we are tired and sad, but most of all angry that the smartest person in the race is now out of it.

Guys, know that this is a gut punch to the smart, capable, hard-working, funny women you know. I'm going to go watch her hilarious meal in SC with Stephen Colbert again when I get home and eat chocolate and cry.

Elizabeth Warren really was the right woman at the right time but as you said the time was not ready for her. America is sadly far too misogynistic.

Yup. I put up with sexism and harassment when I worked on Wall St in the late 80's. I really thought it would be better by the time I had a daughter in her 20's. Spoiler alert: it's not.

Warren was my first choice. Klobuchar was my 2nd. As a 71yr old white male, put simply: testosterone ruins everything.

Will proudly treasure the "I'm Voting for Warren" bumper sticker I received a day after I voted for her in TX. Women in this country deserve so much more from our peers and politicians.

I was pissed at Pete. So I voted for Senator Warren. Now I miss her more than I do Pete.
