What I am talking about are the unwritten rules that tell candidates, particularly women, how they should behave, how they should dress, what their backgrounds should be. The ones that say that there’s only one path to victory, only one way a candidate should look. The ones that say you can’t do certain things as a woman or can’t win certain races because of who you are or where you come from or what university you went to. Those are the rules that set arbitrary limits. In today’s world, we’ve got no time for rules like that.
