Our Milestone Moment by Connie Schultz

On Tuesday night, after Hillary Clinton had delivered her first speech as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, it didn't take long for some of us expressing our joy over this historic moment to feel the burn of reprimand.

We should show more understanding toward those who are disappointed, the critics said.

We should not "rub it in."

We were "gloating." We were "insensitive." We should be "more gracious."

Here we are again, expected to suppress our happiness so that we don't injure the feelings of those who see nothing to celebrate in this milestone moment of equality. I was impatient last June with this argument, and I find that an additional year of living has done nothing to temper my resolve.

coddled (and some adults too). It's so tiring to have to worry about someone getting offended over your victory. Traditionally contests have winners and losers and not everyone gives out participation ribbons.
